THE COLLEGE AND FARMING 



indicate that the desire for an agricultural 

 life appeals to many men of many minds, 

 and that it is apparently not a passing 

 whim or fashion. 



Comments on the replies 



The figures in the last column are most 

 significant, showing that only five of the 

 entire lot fail to express their wishes as to 

 choice of life work. Moreover, two or three 

 of these persons declare that they desire to 

 pursue some kind of agricultural work. 



The desire to engage in farming, as ex- 

 pressed in the first column, is most various 

 in kind and is of different degrees of inten- 

 sity. I made a note of such desires as are 

 specifically mentioned by the respondents, 

 with the following results : 



Farm students 



Desire to return to home farm 13 



Stock and dairy farming 14 



Horticulture 11 



General farming 6 



Poultry 6 



Superintendent or manager 5
