Boys Staying on the Farm. The country boy is not migrating to the city as fast as he did. It is beginning to dawn on him that when he drops the raising of food products he is selling out his interest in a commodity that is rapidly rising in price. Nobody ever advanced in life on that principle. And as the boys stay on in the country, the girls will stay on, too. The farmers are going to own many more automobiles in the year 1920 than the store clerks.—Madison Herald.
