But a farmer will make a success of his not only in years like the preâ€" sent one, but in poor years as well. We could name some farmers who made money on the farm all through the depression year‘, beâ€" cause they were good farmers. . What is a good farmer? We have heard tions. Desâ€" ; Novemâ€" a cheery & nALION, sense as out of cif in Engla to turn, the desti is given by the author, Louis Bromfield, in his book, "Pleasant Valley," and it is a deâ€" finition that should be studied by every farâ€" our society. We have been inclined in our wild industrial development, to forget that agriculture is the base of our whole economy and that in the économic structure of the nation it is always the corner stone. It has always been so gvuhont history, and it will continue to be so until there are no more men on this earth. We are apt to forget that the man who owns land and cherishes it, and works it well, is the source of our stability as a nation, not only in the economic but social sense as well. Few great leaders ever came out of city slums, or even suburbs. In France, in England, in America, wherever you choose to turn, most of the men who have molded the destines of the nation have come off the land, or from small towns. The great majorâ€" L222 B MBA i M se crnconir ind rveniinticiter °C ~ o o i ie k ity of leaders, even in the world of industry and finance, have come from there.

"But there are two other qualities beâ€" yond the realm of the inquiring mind or the weight of education, without which no man could be a good farmer. These, I believe, are born in him. They are a passionate feeling for the soil he owns and an understanding and sympathy for his animals. 1 do not believe that these traits can be acquired ; they are alâ€" most mystical qualities, belonging really only to people who are a little "teched" and very close to nature itself. > _ "Nften enough people discover late in life that they have these qualities, without ever having known it.
