BACK TO THF FARM.

During the war x;.l soon after
wards, when 20 many able bodied men
were being drawn away from the
farms to the cities by the lure oe
steady employment at high wages,
much alarming comment was mdulg
ed in, on the score that the production
Of food might be curtailed to the
danger point.
Now we hear OF marked move
ment back to the farm. There are no
statistics, but observation leads to the
conclusion that abandoned and partly
cultivated farms are being taken up
and farmers sons are returning to the
old stand, notwithstanding the low
prices for farm products during the
past year.
The farm is bound to be more at
tractive in the future than it has beer
in the past. The day of isolation has
gone by. Distance from the farm ~
the large centres of population has
almost been annihilated by the auto
mobile. The young people Of the
country can participate in the city's
emusements after the days work is
done. Rural free delivery, the tele-
rhone and the individual light plant
provides comforts that are ccmpara-
lively modern. And the work on the
farm is easing up by the use of trac-
tors and other modern devices. Tho
problem of getting the products to
market is being simplified by good
roads. Furthermore, the farmers ara
organizing for mutual protection and
advantage. Their cooperative mar
keting associations give them advan-
tage in stabilizing conditions that
they have not had. By national anI

ground. That in itself is a lure fCrl
the ambitious young man who was
brought up in the old haphazard way
of tilling the soil.
All these improvements are bring
ing the farm into new era of de-
velopment, with better prospects of
profit and more intensive interest i'll
agriculture. There should be a no.
table decrease in the movement from
the soil to the city. A good many Of |
the young people of the farms will be |
attracted by the enticements of the |
big town, but probably there will not
be as many as heretofore. Farming
should be an occupation of greater
profit and comfort from now on.--l

closed an arrangement with Thos. p

citizen, for the bringrg of his porta-
bic county fair equipment he"s for
tae occasion, greatly simplifying the
organization Of the fair ard reducing
the cost of promoting and arranging

constantly watch for honesty, to re-

One reason we have so much
