While agriculture will reward the
illiterate worker a living for his
labor, no vocation offers a broad
er field to the person with a well
rounded education for the full use
of his qualifications.
We are rapidly increasing in
population. The resources of the
country are being developed by
an increasing proportion of our
population and they must be fed
by our agricultural classes, in
suring a certain market for their
product. AS to the profit to the
farmer for his productf that de-
pends on the cooperative effort
on the part of the farmers in
marketing their product. One
lesson the farmers have been slow
in learning, is that they must
apply practical business methods
in marketing theiy products as
well as industry in producing.
When that lesson is learned and
practiced the farmer will come
into his own.

TALKS
TO
FARMER

In travelling through the coun-
try, did you ever notice how much
more attractive the landscape at
a distance looked than that in
your immediate. vicinity. The
coloring was more harmoniously
blended. That near you exposed
the erosions of the soil, the un-
slightly, unsymmetrical trees,
rough beulders, the thorns and
rubbish. The unsightly things
that mar the view at close range,
are obscured by distance. In
daily life we view our immediate
surroundings in the same way.
We see all the obstacles, all the
handicaps; our imaginations pic
ture other section of the country
as free from what we encounter,
but when we reach the pictured
Ell Dorado, we find it, too has it's
scars. and its handicaps. Young
men on the farm imagine from
their glimpses of the cities. the
gay windows, the moving picture
shows, the different forms of en-
tertainment and amusement that
their cup of happiness would be
full if they could live in the city.
1t is only after they go there and
undertake to get a foothold, that
they get a glimpse of the other
side of the picture. Positions are
not always easy to secure and
living is expensive; they find more
demands for money, and to Sc
cure it means long hours of just
as laborious toll as on the farm.
They find that the people with
leisure and money to enjoy the
things that lured them to the city,
are either the rich, or the tran
sient visitor, such as they had
been on their occasional visits to
the city: that most of the people
of the city were hard at work to
meet the demands for living there.
While the farmers work is hard,
he has time when he can get
away to hunt or fish. to go for a
visit to the city; he can enjoy the
sights. take in the picture shows,

DEATH TRAPS ON ROAD SIDES
Highway Authority Condemns Prsssnt
Type Of construction--Not ouf.
helentiy Wide.

The present type Of highways b
equipped with death traps on each
side. says George c. Diehl, chairman
Of the good roads board of the Amer
ican Automobile association, u an
article in Motor. He condemns the
present ditch system Of drainage and
advocates system Of underground
drain pipes, making ditchless roads Of
our highways.
'.The highways Of the future" says
Mr.. Diehl. "nust have roadways Of
sufficient width not merely for safety,
but for the comfortable confidence of
the driver. A car owner may come
through alive at the end of days
run on popular thoroughfsre, but
the condition of his nerves after he
has balanced himself SO times an hour
between yawrhng ditch at his right
and whizzlng cars at his left, Is some
thing that need no. be described to
the average driver. because he has
been there.
Fear Of an open ditch breeds over
caution that drives men TO the ether
extreme and brings about collisions
On fairly wide roadways with deep
bitches drivers are reluctant to use
only One-half Of the roadway, since
a momentary slip means disaster. Al
lowance for a two or three-foot mar
gin Of safety by drivers between their
cars and the ditch reduces the effec-
tive width four or five feet. Safety
and comfort demand the discontinu-
ance OF deep ditches.
