FARM LABOR AND WAGES 177 



man who receives a high wage for working on a farm owned by 

 a wealthy man who is farming for show rather than for profit. 

 The latter position teaches the wrong kind of farming methods 

 and the wrong kind of spending habits for one who expects to 

 save from his wages, become a successful farmer, and later 

 buy a farm. The wise young man will give due consideration 

 to the environment as well as the wage which the position offers, 

 for wisdom, skill, good habits, and credit go farther than money 

 in starting one on the safe road to success as a farmer.
