IT IS A STRANGE THING THAT THE PRODUCER nr raw MATERIALS HAS THUS FAR TAKEN A SUBORDINATE PLACE TO THE TRADER. THE TRADER LIVES ON THE PRO DUCER. THE TRADER LIVES IN THE CITIES.

Until euch an organic relationship exists civilization cannot be perfected or sustained, however mgn it may rise- in its various parts, Two most important meana are at hand and can be immediately nut into 'operation to brine about this fundamental adjustment. The first is to SEND BROADLY TRAINED HEN INTO THE OPEN COUNTRY. In North America the best system of college instruc tion 'in rural life in tbo world is now well established. Some of the CITY MAN'S FARMING IS DEMORALIZING TO REAL COUNTRY INTERESTS. I do not look for much per manent good, to come to rural society from the moving out of well to do city men or from the farming in which they ordinarily engage. v ... . It is proposed to send to the country the poor to die and the dis satisfied and the unemployed. This is very doubtful policy. In the first place a PERSON WHO DOES NOT DO WELL IN THE TOWN WOULD NOT DO WELL IN THE COUNTRY, and in the second place the country docs not need them. 1 . Farm labor should be produced in the country and kept there by a PROFITABLE AND ATTRACTIVE RURAL LlbK. The city cannot supply it. . - , The- city must TAKE CARE OF ITS OWN POPULATION and not expect to escape its natural responsibility by Bending its sur plus to the country. - : ' . . . Farming cannot be Vlolie at long range or by prosy nuy nioro than banking or storekeeping or railroading, and especially by one who docs not know how. . 1 ' ' FARMING IS A MIGHTY GOOD BUSINESS, AND IT IS GETTING' BETTER, BUT IT IS V BUSINESS FOR FARMERS.
