HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1926-3-25, Page 4H 215th, 1926 Farming as We See it ME EXETER TIMES -ADVOCATE (Continued from last week) Our country is filled with the idle end unemployed, and the great ques- tion asking for an answer Is: What Shall be done with these men? What Shall these men do? To this there NS but one answer: They must cult hate the soil, Farming must be rendered more attractive. Those who work the land must have an honest pride in their business, They Must educate their children to culti- 'rate the soil. They must Snake farm - Ing easier, so that their children will. not hate it, so that they will not hate it themselves, The boys must not be taught that tilling the soil is a curse and almost a disgrace. They must not suppose that education is thrown away upon them unless they become ministers, lawyers, doctors or statesmen. It must be under- stood that education can be used to advantage on a farm, We must get rid of the idea that a little learning unfits one for work. There are hundreds of graduates who are agen Is, solicitors for insurance, clerks, in short performing a hund- red verities if mental service, They seem willing to do anything that is not regarded as work—anything that can be done in a town, in the house, in an office, but they avoid farming as they would leprosy. Nearly, every young man educated in this way is simply ;ruined. Such an ed- ucation ougheto be called ignorance. It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than education without the sense. Bolt, and girls should be educated to help themselves. They should be taught that it is a disgrace to be id- le and dishonest to be useless. It is simply this, that if you want more men and women on the farms, something must be done to make farm life pleasant. One great dif- ficulty is that the farm is lonely. People write about the pleasure of solititude, but they are found only in books. He who lives alone be- comes insane. A hermit is a mad- man. Without friends and wife and child, there is nothing left worth liv- ing for. The unsocial are the en- emies of joy. They are filled with egotism and envy with vanity and hatred. People who live much alone become narrow and suspicious. They begin to think there ds 110 use in anything. It is not necessary in this age of the world for the farmer to rise in the middle of the night to begin his work. This getting up so early in the morning is a relic of barbarism. It has made hundreds and thousands of young inen curse the business. There is no need of getting up at res or four o'clock in the winter The farmer who persists 't and penal s n. dragging his wife and child*en from their beds ought to be visited by a missionary. It is time enough to rise after the sun has set the example. For what r -- purpose do Yott get up? To tee" i" a: Cattle? Why not feed them more the night before? It is a waste of life. In the old times, they used to get uii about three o'clock in the Morning and go to -work before the sun had risen. Ten hours a day is long enough for any farmer to work, except in harvest time. When you arise at four and work till dark, what is life worth? Of what use are all the improvements in farming? Of what use is all the improved mach- inery unless it tends to give the far- mer a little more leisure? Think of the days of reaping, of cradling, of raking and binding and mowing. Think of threshing with the fail and winnowing with the wind. And now think of the reapers and mowers, the binders end threshing machines, the plows and - cultivators, upon which the farmer rides protected from the sun. If, with all the ad- vantages, you cannot get a living without rising in the middle of the night, go into some other business as it is just as easy to starve in that some other business as that of farm- ing. Sleep is the best medicine in the world. There is no such thing as health without plenty of sleep. A greatmany farmers seem to think they are the only laborers in the world. This is a mistaken idea. Farmers cannot get along without to the soles of his feet. He is the the mechanic. You are not inde- master of any kiud of instrument pendent of the man of genius. Your you put before him, string, brass, or wood; besides. piano, concertino, etc and a number of side lines such as his horseshoes, tumblers, .etc. It will do you good to hear him so be sure and book this opportunity. At present he is raising with consider- able success in Goderich, a Boy's Band. Don't miss Monday, March the 29th at the Town Hall TUE SALVATION ARMY We can safely recommend our Easter Programme to the citizens of Exeter. A11 local talent will be us- ed except the above picture of Capt. Kingdom from Goderich who is a musician from the crown of his head prosperity depends upon the inven- tor. The world advances by the as- sistance of all laborers; and all lab- or is under obligation to the inven- tions of genius.. The inventor does. as much for agriculture as he who tills the soil. All laboring men should be brothers. You are in part- nership with the mechanics 'who make your binders, yourmowers and your plows. Another idea entertained by most farmers is that they •are in some mys- terious way oppressed by every other kind of business=that they are de- voured by monopolies, especially by railroads. Of course; the'raliroads are indebt- ed to the farmers for their prosper- ity and the farmers are indebted to the railroads. . • In conclusion I may say that hap- piness should be the object of life, and if life on the farm can be made really happy,' the children will grow up in love with the meadows, their streams, and' the woods, and the old home. Around 'the farm will cling and cluster the. happy memories of the delightful' years: For my part I envy the man who has lived on 'the same broad acres from his boyhood, who cultivates the fields where in youth he played, and lives where his father lived and died. I can 'imagine no sweeter way to end. one's life than in the quiet of the country; out of the mad race for money, place and power—far from the demands of business--outof the dusty highways where fools struggle and strive for tb'e 'hollow praise of other fools.
