Universities Help The Farmer
The second impression which l re-
ceived was of the excellent way in
which the American universities, es-
pecially the agricultural colleges,
worked with the farmers, When |
visited one university | was told that
it had three purposes-resesr rch, edu-
cation, and the spread of technical
skill. In Japan agricultural fairs and
other community functions are all
held under the auspices Of the pre-
lectures or the cities, towns, and vii
lagos. But in AlFerican fairs and
other such activities the university
has central part. A fair is often
held at the university with professors
serving as judges. When farmers
come to the university to observe, all
of the lectures are open to them and
in very simple words the professors
give guidance in techniques and give
logical answers to their problems. 1t
is the same for institutes for youth
groups. l felt keenly that the rural
community and the university were
perfectly linked together.
If we were to ask Miyazaki Uni
versity to open her doors to US for
week long institute for youth
group in all likelihood we would be
refused. In regard to asking teacher
to come to a rural fair | have no
idea what would happen because
there is so little contact between the
University and the rural community.
/ would not want to make snap
| judgment as to whether the respon-
sibility lies with us farmers or with
the teachers at the university, but if
they, like the professors in America,
would know what kind of pigs are on
which farms in each community, the
farmers would certainly be blessed
America Is Young
Here and there in the agricultural
community one can see old fashioned
buildings covered with ivy. These are
the schools which people attended
until the thirties. They are shabby
and inferior even to the branch
schools in the remotest mountain
districts of Japan. Yet those who

THE AMERICAN RURAL
COMMUNITY
Yuzo Maruyama

Riding on tractor through wide
field of hay, plowing or harvesting
under the beautiful clear blue Ohio
sky, is such an exhilarating exper-
ience that it can hardly be appreciat-
ed in Japan. On the other hand, be-
cause of my unframed hands and
complete lack of even ordinary
knowledge about livestock, when |
had it pointed out to me that the
volume of milk had dropped consider
able / asked myself, "Why did you
come to this placer" But, in any
case, was able to fulfill my respon-
sibility as member of the first
group of japanese trainees sent to
America to gain practical experience
in American agriculture. After one
year in America, my knowledge is
probably still very incomplete, but |
did receive three impressions of the
American rural community.
American Farmers Do Not Drink
The first thing that surprised me
| is that in the American rural COM
munity there are no stores that sell
| LIQUOR. There are exceptions OF
course, but as a general rule one
must go to larger town to get
| liquor. Even if there is liquor
store they will not sell to someone
under twenty. This is due to the fact
that almost without exception farm
ers do not drink. Even at wedding
or birthday celebration if there is
| wine on the table it is only for a
toast. In the cities, however, there
is much drinking; thus it is just
the reverse Of the situation in Japan.
Here in Japan it is in the rural COM
munity rather than in the city that
liquor flows in abundance. At fes-
tival or a funeral and still more at
wedding or at the completion of
some important project the strong
drinks are brought out. Since L ac-
ouired the taste a long time ago and
had come to the place where | con-
sidered liquor lubricating oil for
hard work it was really agony for
me to go a whole year without its
blessings.
In place of this, recreation has
made amazing progress. While eating
cookies and fruit the farmers have
Just as much fun as one who has
drunk wine until he is inebriated
For example there is game where
the wives all line up behind curtain
and the husbands by looking only at
the ankles point out their own wives.

Japanese Youth Tells His People His
Impressions Of Life On An Ohio Farm

Studied there are the core of Amer
lean rural society now. However al
though the farmer of this age group
owns tractor and can drive it, he
does not know how to fix it. If it
breaks down he has to go to the re-
pair shop to get it fixed. On the
other hand, | was amazed at the ex-
cellence of the facilities in the
schools today. The buildings are of
course of steel and concrete. Even in
the classrooms of the elementary
schools there are models of auto
motive construction and in the high
schools there are fine automotive re-
pair shops.
/ thought that TINS was big diff
ference. At the moment l am con-
fident that we are not too far behind
the American. farmer, but in ten
years the gap will probably widen.
America is often called the treas
ure house of natural resources, but
this is not true. felt that rather,
America had taken barren land and
made it a treasure house. | think
that it is more than just the pioneer
ing spirit, that some other plus
element has been added.
At any rate received the impress.

The "Systen," Works Again

81 guess its our obligation keep the system operating
one of the Bufon candidates for municipal office said
recently when his friends drafted him to on their
ticket This was the only remark of this nature we heard
ourselves during the past week when Buffton Republicans
Democrats holding their caucuses and rounding up
their tickets for next Novembers election but similar words
were probably repeated many times.
And so it was that % men and women have agreed to
serve their village councilmen other officials they
are elected in November. With only couple exceptions
there is Democrat and Republican candidate for
office to be filled.
Caucus time usually time of good natured Joking and
wise cracking among those who participate but there is
nevertheless competitive spirit both sides in effort
to get well qualified candidates capable of winning cleo
ton The system as it has been followed in Buffton has
again produced excellent candidates for office Included
for the first time are three women.
Contrast the Buffton picture at election time with some
smaller communities where it is chore to round up
enough persons to fill the Offices let alone two complete
tickets
The twoparty system works well here and it is good
that there enough citizens who think 1T obligation
