SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915. $1 a Year ; 5cva Copy WE NEED MORE FELLOWSHIP WE LIVE too much to ourselves, Brother Farmer. We don't make enough use of our social opportunities our opportunities for cooperation, fellowship, comradeship, in every form of farm life and work. Dr. T. N. Carver brought out this idea very strikingly when he said recently : , ' "It is not the hard work or the exposure or even the poverty of the farmer or his wife which makes farm life so unattractive to so many of our people. It is the lack : of team work. I have never, known men and women, particularly young men and women o f our race , to IN FARM WORK cent years we are having less rather than more fellowship, comrade- ship, cooperation in farm work. When the writer was at work on a Southern farm the neighbors all got together for log rollings in spring, wheat and oat threshing in summer, corn shuckings and hog ! killings in fall, and "house raisings' in winter whenever a neighbor wished to put up a new building, while we had neighborhood meet ings to help out sick neighbors as occasion required in between shrink from hardship if they could feel the touch of el bows and have the sense of comradeship which the sol dier has. Our boys and girls as well as the men and women of the farm should develop team work. They should get together and work together for a com mon cause as the soldiers. Touch elbows with your neighbors, and get the sense of comradeship as soldiers do." And Dr. Carver is right. We don't cooperate enough in either our social life or in our actual . arm labor. Two or three men .working to gether side by side will do more and do it more hap pily than will the same men where each man works by himself.

Let's look into it, Brother Farmer, and see if we cannot do more with this idea of having neighbors join together in planting, pl6wing, hoeing, cultivating, harvesting and marketing our crops this year and ever after. It will not only pay in dollars and cents but it will pay even more .notably in the happiness, the joy ous comradeship and spiritual exaltation that we neverfind except in "bearing one anoth er's burdens" as the great Master of Life di rected. Let's have more fellowship in farm work. 10 11 11 4 6 10 19 '.Mr. .'..ft ill I:: i Si H - ' 1 p i, . ' ,! 1''.' - V t ?. 4 Hi' !
