Why Do Boys Leave the
Farm?

Many and varied have been the
snswe offered to the question
.Why do the boys land frequently
the girls, bo0) leave our farmsf'
Perhaps one of the most vital
reasons 10 brought to the surface
in q letter written by County
Agent Macksy to his club mem ers.
IL - that the parents, becoming
discouraged by adverse weather
or crop conditions, often impress
upon tie youth u comparison
between country life and city life.
In such case, with ideas some.
what unbalanced by temporary
0acksets, the comparison is nnin.
tentionslly made between the most
undesirable phases of country life
and the more derirable phases of
city life.
Don't forget that city life has
lts disadvantages, and that these
undesirable phases of living are
jest 90 dissgreesble, and just as
disoourasing, as any of the un-
pleasant conditions met with in
country life.
A fair comparison between the
two modes Of living will never
augment the country-to-city move
ment, bat tit will, rather, tend
TO make the boys and girls
appreciate the opportunities ahead
Of the farmer. True, many OF
these opportunities may be some
distence "ah6ad," bat they are
within striking distance of every
ambitious youth, and they are in
20 much greater abundance than
can be found in city work tina,

Meeker is head of the Statistics

No permanent reduction can be
expected in living costs for years.
