GOOD ADVICE
TO FARME
Stay on the Farm and Don't Ru?

True it in that one must lear

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.

who can do one thing better t

employment. But the inajorit
farmers who are rushing to
cities arc not specialists; thoy
not know how to do anything *
