David F. Houston. Secretary of Agriculture David F. Houston believes that farmers' eons should be given better inducements to remain on the farm. He thinks the drift cityward would be much less pronounced if better educational advantages were given farmers' sons and daughters. "The farmer must either maintain his farm at the expense of the education of his children, or move to one of the large cities," declares Houston. "So, education, among other things, is driving occupants of farms to-the cities."
