PRESIDENT BARRETT Outlines Scope of farmers* Union Agricultural College. The Farmers’ Union News has asked nietooutline briefly the scope and mission of the great Farmers’ Union Agricultural College,to which the current issue is so largely de voted. To discuss these subjects in detail would he to elaborate the agricul tural proolem in the South and ihe nation, for the scope and the mis sion of our school aim at no less pretentious an object than the half way revolutionizing "f rural life everywhere. What is the matter with the country today? Boys and young men, in many in-t.-una s the cream of the population, are leaving it in ash ady army for the cities. And this, in spite <>f the fact that the country life on the farm offers at this ino*t'.- nt grt iter material re war;- and a more pleasant environ ment than at any period in their history. Science and education have re volutionized agriculture. They have either eliminated or materially modified trie round-about and spend-thrift methods of yesterday. If their lessons were universally applied, we would 1m; raising pro ducts in the South and elsewhere at a cost infinitely less than that now obtaining, and we would he doing it at the expense of much less labor and travail. The march of invention and of civilization have also pushed hack the isolation and the loneliness that once meant life on the farm. Every where good roads is a paramount issue. The rural free delivery ser vices is drawing the farmer and his family yet closer to the centers of activity. The rmal telephone and the newspapers are reenforcing those influences that are operating to make easier and more profitable the surroundings of the farmer. And yet, in the face of these widespred transformations,and they have barely begun their eventual dimensions, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep men of the right sort on farm. The lot of the men who remain there is not half so pleasant and profitable as it should he, considering that the farmer is the foundation of prosperity and moral welfare in America. The Farmers’ Union has long realized these conditions. Its work lias already done much to help each toward solution. But now wo aro going to attack them where they grow, where they aro fed. Wo purpose educating country boys and young men so that they shall beeotne each a loader, oaeh a missionary for business agriculture, for advance in thinking, in com mercial and working methods, in education and intelligence and in living in their respective com munities. We expect to show them how to convince their neighbors that both duty and self-interest lie, not in abandoning, nut in remaining on the farm and bitching to its myriad activities the skill and the cunning and the ellieieney of twentieth cen tury standards and conceptions. The fanner is not now educated for his profession as the doctor, the lawyer, and the business men are educated for their professions. We are striving to remedy that omission, and that is the scope of this enterprise. We are working, not so much for today, or for tomorrow, the im mediate tomorrow and the far to morrow. We are working for the welfare of every member of the Farmers’ Union, all ages, both sexes, in all conditions of life. It is a war in which the interest of every man is equal, and in which his duty is measured only by his patriotism and his love of his fellow man.— -Charles S. Barrett, in Faimers’ Union News.
