True it in that one must lear let well enough alone. The g result we are all striving for is < acquired by judicious letting al It is a part of wisdom to know when well-doing means letting enough alone to take up somet else, and when it means letting something else go altogether. One of the most disquieting turcs of the social condition of farmers is occasioned by not let well enough alone, but rushing the cities to engage in new lint work. It is an alarming condit as the stability and national chn ter coiqes from our strong foot! on the fcoil.

They are misfits in life and should go back to farms. For specialists, for tl who can do one thing better t any one else, the city will fun employment. But the inajorit farmers who are rushing to cities arc not specialists; thoy not know how to do anything * that is, anything that the poop] the cities want.

However, no succeeds in city or country ur he does his work well. Uesolv do something useful and honor: and do it with a good will. R the thought that you can live w out labor.
