and is still active, with a large membership. The Farm Bureau and 
Home Bureau and the Dairymen's League have also taken a firm 
hold in the community.

settled on farm No. 67, have lived. On several of these farms fifth, sixth, or seventh generation members 
of this family are still living. 
PERSISTENT FAMILIES REMAINING ON THE FARMS OF THE 
COMMUNITY. 
It is to be expected that every farm community shall send out, 
as migrants, a considerable proportion of its educated young people. 
But the migration need not be weakening to the community if at the 
same time a large number of the well-trained and cultured young 
people remain. Tables XII and XIII show that the Belleville 
community has held as permanent residents a great number of its 
academy-trained young people. (See fig. 20.)
