CULTURE FROM THE CORN LOT 73 



All of these opportunities so briefly suggested 

 might be enlarged upon almost indefinitely, but 

 the mere mention of them emphasizes the call 

 for this service and this leadership. Nowhere 

 are leaders more needed than in the country. 

 The country has been robbed of many of its 

 strongest and best. The city and perhaps the 

 nation are gamers : but the country has suffered. 

 From one point of view, the future of our farm 

 ing communities depends upon the quality of 

 leadership that we are to find there during the 

 next generation. 



So we come back to our question, Can the 

 farm be made to yield to the man or woman, 

 residing upon it and making a living from it, 

 that measure of growth and all-round develop 

 ment that the ambitious person wishes to attain ? 

 And our answer is, Yes. In its work, its leisure, 

 its field for service, it may minister to sound 

 culture. If you love the life and work of the 

 farm, do not hesitate to choose that occupation 

 for fear of becoming narrow or stunted. You 

 can live there the full, free life. You can grow 

 to your full stature there. You can get culture 

 from the corn lot.
