REAL G1EER IN AGRICULTURE A Higher Dignity For The Great Business of Farmers. . Clemson College, Jan-, B?"As a man Ainketh in kis heart, so is he". So fretka Holy Scripture, and all experience Confirms its troth. ,The most important con3idoration, therefore, for the farmer is his attitude toward his farm, tyhat does he think afequt it,?what does he think a/bout farming? Does he lore his fields and woods ?Does his eye rest with peculiar fondness on his sleek mules and fat cattla? Does he feel in his rery soul that farming is a high calling, the only vr-cation for him? Or does lie value f*jlds and woods and cattle in terms merely of money 7 Will he sell them all for js price, and gladly turn away from them forever 7 Is he a farmer by chance or by choice? Has he simply "Inherited'' a farm? Is he a farmer because he hnowB no other way of "making a living," because it may seem to him the easiest, most independent life? lias he looked the world and its businesses in t the face, and deliberately decided that, as for him, the plow and the fresh earth upturned, and the growing plant have charms above all? Before any further real progress can be made in ?tho development of our country life,that country life must be saturated with love of the country. Many more farmers there must be, whose determination to stUy on the farm is quite as fixed am their dstermiaatlon to win success, and comfort and happidees, for themselves and their families, by means of their famuing. - * Such farmers will sot be bribed by a duuuub riHo m -one prices oc farm lends *0 "Bell, out" and move to e neighbortag town. They will not be driven away by labor troubles. They may sell a part of tljeir holdings, but they win still Cling to the soil. By the use of modem machinery in the home and on the farm, they will so multiply personal efficiency as to reduce greatly the number of laborers, and increase the output of all who work. These farmers will be fully persuaded in their own minds, that they above men in other callings, have opporunity to raise strong healthy children. .They will appreciate at their true worth, the breeze blowing clear ( and pure over the wheat, the sight of cattle on the hill feeding slowly homeward, the ran in the woods after nutsv for the Children's growth, both of body and uiiuu, "Who but the farmer can furnish in abundance to his children, v dean milk, fresh eggs, tender vegetables. home-raised bread and meat T The medical records of the Selective Draft Board,have Just revealed that the ImlQiiefiViOuv Lu tiro United States fs. from North to South, practically - coincident with the none of greatest agricultural development, the great Mississippi Valley- May not the mom abundant food supply there be ths secret of' the stronger, - healthier young men? "Bread" is the universal human cry. Only the farmer can furnish it. No other occupation fills so fundamental ' a need.

The flrat occupation both In point of time and point of logic ia farming. And the farmer, the real farmer, will realise that he is, under God, the die* | penser of the bounties of Nature to hla hungry fellowmen. He will value hla I profession accordingly. The ^ery practice of the art of fanning affords opportunity to the farmer to grow to the full, mentally and spiritually. He is not dependent on ment and things M other men are. He is dependent on cloud and sunshine, on the hidden i processes at life; that is, he Is detpend* snt on the wisdom, power and goodness of God. He ought to be a better man for It Jnst because the farm gives this opportunity for cfloser relationship with the Lord of life, there is a higher dig- , nty shout this business than we have ocmmonly accorded ft. We have looked at the dirty hand, and the bent hack, and we have called the farmer uncouth and his profession unclean. The world has taught hbn to despise his work and himself. It admires the skill of the J great surgeon, hut forgets the years he spent in the gruesome woiit of the dissecting-room. It praises the artist who sings a song, or writes a story, or $ahit? a picture, but the artist who gave us our breeds of cattle, or strains of wheat or corn, bur Improved melhords of tillage, are almost unknown. Tet their reward is with them. In the quiet, even In the obscurity of their farms, they so lived and worke<* that mankind te perpetually their debtor.
