Bolton, Jan. 1?.?*ne Baptist C?ur- 'j 1er of Jan 8 reproduces the follow- j ing quotation from Rev. J. Furman \ Moore, in the Baptist Calendar: Stay j on the farm dear b?y. With the; parcel post and the rural credit sys- | tern things are coming the farmer's' Wa7 at la^'t. ] That bit of advice Is about a full ; of meaning and common sense as any- j thing I hav? found. Of course, many young men should locate in town's and cities. There Is need of them, there is room for them; but there Ib no need, neither is there reots'fer all of them. If all of our boys leave the coun'-ry. what will be the result? The country will go to waste, and. those seeking locations in towns and cities will not be amply rewarded for'thfelr labor. In conseauenca t>f an over crowding of the professions.. And yet. it is true that many coun try boys think, when they have left college, that they must rush for town, to find work. The truth Is, our col leges should impress uocn their boys and girls that intelligent farming and Intelligent house-keeping in the coun try are Just as dignified snd remun ratlve as Is professional Work In tovn and cities. With rural dally mail, telephones and good roads, tiu> coun try offers to our young people better Inducements for tbelr successful ef fort than It has ev-v offered in the past. So, with Mr. Moore.
