Still. is there not something more and beyond all this? Can we not secure results more rapidly than we are doing by getting closer and nearer to that great class of the farming element which reads only when work isdone. and whose hours of daily labor are not controlled or regulated by any organization or State or governlental enactment? With thousands of immigrants daily pouring in upon us from foreign shores. with farms abandoned yearly. with our population ill the cities increasing by ieapls and bounds. with production lessening daily. where is relief? It must be in the land. and I am one who believes that ill tile the pendulum will swing back to the point where farming will become a profession. when the broad acres of this country will bloom with bumper crops. when science and industry and love of nature will join hands and produce hundreds where only bushels grew biefore. To bring tills about. ill my mind at least. there are two things necessary: First. to so educate the young. to so instill in their mlinds the love of the soil. the holne. and the occupation that the bustle. the glare. and tile excitement of the cities will not attract them. inducing them to leave the old folks on the farm. either to rent or abandon it when age shall have rendered them too feeble to care for it.
