The Signal, 1906-4-19, Page 5THP; i;IGNAL : GODERICH ONTARIO BACK TO THE FARM. I THE MARKETS From 'rho Preebyte kan. A etiuvrntlwl of the Aswr'iatlal of hamlets of Nova Scotia was held early this year in the towu of Truro, a es at which important were pea t a discussed hearing upon the interests of the agricultural portion of the paop- ulation. In his opening address the president of the association made a plea for a stronger effort to keep the boys at home and to prevail upon more of thrum to ehuoee the noble and independent calling Of tillers of the .oil. 'Let us," he said. "encourage. the boys to stay by the farm, and du the best they can. I believe the termer is the must independent wan in the world today. While he sleep., his crops grow right along; while In Many other professions, when the work stouts, the pay stops too." One of the things which make it difficulty for a farmer W keep his boy. at h holey is the strung pull in the direc- tion of the cities. Thu young people, both boy. and girls, find life in the country, on the farm, too quiet and telenOWnou.. They nave for a more exciting life. A few young people from a community go away to the cities of Canada or the United States, get into business and prosper, and their m1CCtlNM nu! x raten lY e at- tractive -tactive life iufecta'others with the spirit. of discontent and the desire• for change. There ha no doubt that the drift to the cities is general, not only in our own laud, but even to a greater extent in the older countries of (treat Britain and the United States. In Nome sections of .these c tries the increase of thin drift Is itecoming ale normally rapid. and is causing no little concern among thinking people. Not only are many of the ' grants in the United States bxeatimg in the but the drift of the o cities, I {tulx 1 front the rurel districts continue -s. The statist lets us of the lenge m Bureau estimate that f • years hence, when the next national census is taken, the papulation of the ten leading cities in the United States will 'Mow an in- crease of from 'i'1 to 7' Iter rent., which is out of all proportion to the general increase of the papulation of our newer count the sour t •. In r I n ). this drift hoe not developed to such a degree. but the tendency is iu this direction. What then is the remedy!' There can iw no doubt as to the desirability of keeping a large proportion of our beet young men on the farm'. An in- telligent, industrious and prosperous agricultural population is essential to the purest life and truest progress of any country ; and no effort should be spared to encourage and to perpetuate n chase of this kind in every Province of our great lhauiniun," front the Atlantic to the Pacific. No doubt, one way to *retire this is by making life in the country, on the Garan, mor•', attractive. let the yoking people i have the ail antagre and the enjoy -I mrnts in their try h est fur which they crave, and to obtain which sr many of them leave their hooses for the city, and fewer of them will be enticed away. Our agricul- tural schools are doing rh to .in- t1•rest the young men in more. mien - title methods of terming-. The gen- eral adoption of fmodern machinery for terming operations, the introduc- tion of improved st ark and the in- creased facilities for shipping to the 1 n , wet markets aren ito t 1 ug Make farming not only more interesting, but also more profitable. The move - meta to cons lidate, the schools of our country districts, and thus ttu•nish the advantages of the graded city school to every part of the country, if carried out generally, would improve- one of the moat serious drawbacks to life on the farm• Itca nnut be denied by any thoughtful lep'w,n that the comltry hate immense advantages over the town jte many direN•tiuns in the rent, fug of a young Gamily. How is it that so many of our great men have come from the quiet country home? It canted be a mere accident. The mei- ditions have very much to do with this striking fact. -The country is no doubt the beet plate for the develop- ment of brain and brawn. This was eulphatsixed by the president of the l'aanadian Medical' dation, Dr. John Stewart, in his very able auldress on the relation between public health and national character•, before that distinguished body, in the city of Halifax, last Muutaler. .To quote only a sentence eat' two, Dm'. Stewart said : "Will it be thought very much out of place It I say. let us honor the farmer. tis is the only natural, the original and eas•ntii work. There is a mural in the fable Herrulets and Antaeus, It Was not till Hercules lifted the giant isplily from the ground and Si) broke the magic contact that he was overcome ; 1 the pres•riptiotl' for many of the ills of the body and of society is the cry "hack to the bund." The lack of educational facilities is often more than compensated fur' by the freed,1 ' tom the many ItNU'+u•• tions which ilterfere with the studi- uu+ habits of the yutumg.
