ally COMING .TOGETTIEK. IN i VilrA IliX , but tins w uue more
nenuaintanceshin than to any underlying" co-operation between
them ai equal forces in society. 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. AND ON THE
FARMERS AS A GROUP ' MUST REST THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSI
