Show SACK IBACK TO THE FARM President Brown of the New York Central railroad railroad railroad rail rail- road joins with President Hill of the Great Northern North North- em ern and Northern Pacific railroads in declaring his belief that the great advance in food products is due to the rush of the country people to the cities and advises a rush back to the farms That only shows that President Brown knows more about railroads than he does about farming The great rush from the farms to the cities was when in the eighties and nineties congress by its legislation made farming profitless The rush since has been in the people per annum that have come from Europe during the last twelve years Then why do not Brown and Hill advise people to go out of the cities and practice medicine or law or turn clergymen The majority of them would be just as well fitted for either profession as asfor asfor asfor for farming What does the average city man especially the poor devil that has never been trained to anything know about farming Could he harness a horse or milk a cov cow What does he know a about out holdin holding a plow or sowing rutabaga seed I What floes he know about feeding live stock or running a mower Then how is he going to get the farm and the necessary necessary necessary essary equipment to make a start on the farm It would be well to remove poor chil children from the cities and place them under kindly hands on farms It would be good if idle young men in the cities could be sent out to farms to servo apprenticeships But those whose habits are fixed in the tile cities e ties cannot can not be improved by sending them out on farms Most rost of them would run away and gravitate back baek to the c cities ties in a month with the vision of a farm farma a horror in their memories as long as they might live Jive |
