FARM GIRL AS A WIFE.

Speaker Recommends Her, But is Against City-Reared Kind. Greenfield, Ind., Jan. 23.— A spirited discussion was caused Saturday afternoon at the Hancock County Farmers’ Institute, when Oliver H. Cline, one of the lecturers, advised the farmer boy to beware of the city-reared school teacher in choosing a wife and to go after the farmer’s daughter, who knows what farm life is. It developed that farmers are having trouble obtaining farm help and It was suggested that if better wages were paid the trouble might be overcome, as the pay for labor on the farm had not increased with the advance in land prices and products. .
