believe it is up to us to make it a good business. We have got 

 to make our voices heard in the counsels of the government to 

 get a square deal more than we have in the past, and I think 

 that conditions have got to be better and will be better. 



A Member, Let us hope so. 



A Member. I have eight boys, and they were raised on a 

 farm, and there was only one of them that wanted to stay 

 at home. When they got ready to leave home, after they got 

 through school, they said, "Father, what are we going to do?" 

 "Well," I said, "get your schooling, and I will be sure then 

 you will go into some sphere you are adapted for," and so there 

 is only one of them that wanted to stay at home. He is 

 making a success of it. I do not believe the others would be 

 making a success of it if they stayed at home. They did not 

 care enough about it. That is the boy I would like to see on 

 the farm. 



Mr, Brigham, Of course, a boy must have a liking for the 

 job. I believe it would be absolute torture for a man to farm 

 if he did not like it; but a man who has a liking for it, I 

 believe, would not be happy anywhere else. I should feel that 

 something had gone out of my life if I should lose my farm 

 and couldn't have another, because I like it.
