Hy IS IT that there is so much wealth among the far-1
mers and yet so little of it finds its way into this town? t
Thete is a reason, and a potent one If we ask our far I
mer friends they perhaps will tell us. But we should have
W
enough t J solve this problem ourselves. We shouldn’t adopt thi
kindergarten method of asking some one who knows more th a t.;
we do ourselves. It is up to the commercial interests of th is,
town to get together and find a way to bring this great wealth,
into this town. W e cannot justly blame the farmer, because it
we were in his place we would undoubtedly be doing just as hi |
is doing. It is his money and he has a right to do as he pleases
with it, and it is a safe bet that he will exercise that right to the
limit whenever he spends a dollar.

Do you own a car? If so, pick up some of your neighbors and
drive out into the country and use your eyes and your native in
telligence. Just take note of the prosperous condition of the
farmers everywhere you go. Are they making their money and
building beautiful homes by simply drifting?
Not much!
They work, and they use their brains and their ingenuity as
well as their hands. No drifting with them. If they see an
oppertunity to improve conditions by the purchase of a piece of
new machinery, they buy it in a hurry and start it to earning
more dollars for them. If they are not getting the proper re
turns from their acreage they dig down and unearth the cause
and go to work promptly to remedy it. “ Good enough ” does
not appeal to them. They want something better, and they get
