Oregon Agricultural College, Cot. vallis, Juue 23. "Until life on the farm provides a living equal in com fort and attraction to the comfort anil attraction of the city, as Well as opportunity for higher earnings (It does that now, I believe) our rural problem will not be solved," says H. D. Scudder, head of farm manage ment at O. A. C. "If better education leads only to high earnings and brings no Improve ment in the standard of living It Is bound to fail of Its finest purpose," Professor Scudder declares. "The steadily declining rural population Is one of our greatest national perils "Volumes have been written to ac count for this growing danger to our economic balance, but Its reasons may all be summed up us the less de sirable living conditions on the aver age farm. "Certainly many young men desert the farm and flock to the cities In hope of bettering their living condi tions." - Hotter education, Professor Scud der thinks, plays its greatest part in bringing the comforts of the city to the farm.
