281 ORGANIZATION 



kept on doing their work, and the college-bred 

 and book-made farmer kept on doing wonderful 

 things with soils and crops, and now there is 

 scarcely a farming community that does not 

 number among its leading members a farmer 

 of one or both sorts. So does time work changes. 



Boys who intend to be farmers are now sent 

 to agricultural colleges, and the wise farmer 

 takes in good agricultural papers and reads 

 agricultural books. He has organized himself 

 into granges and other associations and is fast 

 learning the value of co-operation. All this 

 tends to elevate his calling, a caUing which is 

 naturally more dignified than any other, and to 

 make himself and his labor of more real value 

 to himself and to his fellows. 



But even yet there is too much haphazard 

 arrangement of the farmer's work, and for this 

 reason he is always struggling and finding little 

 leisure. It is partly due to the lack of organiza- 

 tion in his work. If he has not too much 

 land, and if every month has its appointed 

 tasks, the farmer will move along from task to 

 task, with at least as much leisure as his city 

 brother. So get your work mapped out, and 

 attend to things as they need attention, instead 

 of leaving a lot of small things to pile up and in 

 the end cause hurry and confusion.
