4G0 RURAL MICHIGAN 



crops and animals — or at least new varieties and 

 breeds — will come into prominence. The means of 

 communication will be bettered and extended. The 

 vast waterways and the water-powers will be de- 

 veloped. Educational agencies will multiply in num- 

 bers and effectiveness. The institutions of rural life 

 will greatly increase and take on new meanings. The 

 statistics show a steady development; this progress 

 will proceed. New agricultural methods will come. 

 We have every reason to expect that the rural life 

 of Michigan will keep step with the urban life; the 

 constructive forces of society in the future will make 

 this possible.
