Reseña del editor:
Often, as we hear country boys, on the threshold of manhood, taunted with being farmers, it makes me feel that the city boy requires training other than agricultural to teach him relative values. City people sojourning in the country for fresh air and cheaper living, looking down on the farmer as inferior, will scarcely believe that it requires more brains to run a farm properly than to sit over a ledger, nor can they fathom the many experiences that the countryman must necessarily first master before he can be classed as a successful landholder. The city, glistening with its many frivolities, has drawn young people from the country to such an alarming extent that universal comment has been aroused, much the larger percentage of our population being today engaged in other than pastoral pursuits. This in itself would not be so alarming, were it not that the vitality of our nation is being drained proportionately, for it is a wellknown fact, if the country should today cease to replenish the city with new blood, the city would soon die for want of population. No wonder, then, the cry of today is, Back to the farm and nature. And back we must and will go, for this threatening catastrophe is too appalling to be passed by unchallenged.
