Wonder bow some of the country
people ever bad the Idea so firmly
Impressed upon tbeir brsins tbst city
people are almost always actuated
by ulterior motives. A number of
tbs princlpsl cltlsens of Durhsm are
devoting s large part of tbclr valu
able time during tbe hot days of
August to boosting the fsrm life
scuooi. i ne farm lire school can
possibly be of no direct benefit to
these Isrge property owners. It will
mesn tbs Increase of tbelr taxation
by severs! thousand dollars per yesr
Tbst these men should dellberstely
devote tbeir time and energy to pro
moting an enterprise tbst will mesn
sn actual money espedlture with no
direct returna, simply as s matter
of pstiiotism snd front a desire to
promote tbe welfare of tbs commun
ity is to some of tbe opponents of
the fsrm life school inconceivsble.
Tbe chief grounds of objection In
some quartern to tbe establishment
of tbe farm life school to tbst it will
Increase the tsxre to help "big
folks." That It will compel the
farmers to pay tbe salaries of fsd-
dish professors who "don't know
nothing about farming nohow." Sift
these objections down to their
psychologies! bssls and It will be
found that tbey have tbelr real
origin to egoism. Most fsrmers think
whst tbey do not know shout farm
ing, snd wbst their fathers did not
know. Is not wortb knowing. Tbey
plow the land only s few Inches deep
bersuse It Is the essler to plow It
tbls wsy; sow tbe seed becsuse the
moon Is right: scstter the blab
priced fertiliser with no Idea of the
chemical composition of tbe soil to
which the fortllli'-r is added, and then
go to tbe nearest grocery store and
complain of hard times. All of the
vest store of knowledge thst bss been
gained In recent years about the
oldest profession In tbe world Is left
untouched. Any change of the an
liquidated methods of farming would
to them be a dealers t Ion of the
memory of their ancestors. Who
ever tryg to open the way tor belter
agricultural methods baa an ulterior
motive.
fortunately these unprogresslve
farmers are only a very amall minor
ity of the farming class In this sec
tion and their numbers are growing
ever smaller. The enthusiasm with
hlh the prospect for tbe estsbllsb-
ment of the fsrm life school bss
been received by tbe Urge majority
the fsrmers of Durham county
ahows tbst tbe progressive and Intel
llgent clans of fsrmers are vastly In
tbe majority In thla county. 8urb
entbnalsatn means that farming In
the county will be revolutlnnUed
within tbe next few years. And tbls
Is why the "Mg men" are willing to
devote their time and money to the
establishment and maintenance of
the school.
