I Wouldn’t Go Back to the Old Times 
(Continued from page 263) 
thing seem desirable just as the 
editor said. 
I am afraid that these people with 
whom it is a case of “Turn backward, 
turn backward, O, Time, in thy flight,” 
really found time turning backward 
they wouldn’t like it. They would 
probably miss their automobile, tele¬ 
phone, radio, electric lights, furnace 
and the Dairymen’s League. 
When we consider just our plain 
every day living, we can think of many 
comforts we now have that the homes 
of fifty years ago could not boast. I 
think immediately of one special bless¬ 
ing these modern times have brought 
us farmers, and that is our daily mail 
delivery. I have heard my mother say" 
that when she was a young girl they 
usually received their mail only once 
a week and then they had to drive 
into town for it. 
I think perhaps our telephone should 
come next in the list, for I know it is 
one of the farmer’s most valued serv¬ 
ants. Now we have at our hand the 
means of instantly calling our doctor 
in case of illness, or our veterinarian 
if any of our animals become sick, or 
in an emergency the State Troopers, 
or telephone a mail order to a city 
store. Where do you find such con¬ 
veniences in the old times? No matter 
how desperately ill a member of the 
family might be, the farmer had to 
drive into the city, often several miles 
distant, in order to procure a doctor. 
In many other instances time and labor 
had to be expended to accomplish busi¬ 
ness which we may now do with no 
effort by sitting comfortably at our 
telephone. 
We may also consider our automo¬ 
biles. . Before their day, people drove 
horses and about the limit a team of 
horses could go in one day was fifteen 
or twenty miles. The horses were tired 
at the end of the trip, and if one had 
any mercy at all they could not help 
but pity them. Now we may ride two 
hundred miles in a day if we wish with 
an automobile. We have no tired horses 
to consider and we have accomplished 
the journey with much greater comfort 
and pleasure than we could have a much 
shorter trip by the old, slow way. Au¬ 
tomobiles have made it possible for 
farmers to do their morning chores, 
take quite _ a long - trip, both pleasant 
and educational, and return in time for 
milking at night. It never was possible 
in the old days to take many trips, for 
the farmer was tied down to his chores. 
While it cannot be denied that the 
misuse of cars has proved a detriment 
to the human race, the proper use of 
them has been a blessing. 
The' radio is rapidly becoming com¬ 
mon and probably will be as much in 
use as the telephone eventually. It 
will undoubtedly prove to be a' great 
benefit and pleasure to the farmer, 
particularly in winter when inter¬ 
course with the world is necessarily 
limited on the farm. 
We have many comforts now, dear 
to the souls of every one of us hu¬ 
mans. Who would trade their house 
warmed by furnace heat for one 
warmed by a fireplace? Fireplaces are 
undoubtedly artistic, but I have al¬ 
ways understood that they made your 
face burn while your back froze. We 
also have electricity which lightens 
both our nights and our daily labors. 
I wouldn’t trade it for candles. 
I would like to see the man of 
to-day who would want to cut his hay 
with a scythe or do his cultivating with 
a hoe. In fact, few modern farmers 
are even willing to milk by hand. Our 
modern living has brought many labor- 
saving devices to lighten the load of 
both the farmer and his wife. 
Finally, we can mediate on the 
rapid advancement made in medicine 
and science during the last century 
which has done much to guard the 
health and insure the comfort and hap¬ 
piness of the race. 
One more thing I think of. Some 
people seem to think that every gen¬ 
eration of people grows more wicked 
than the preceding one. I believe that 
there are just as many good people in 
the world to-day as ever. We see so 
many discouraging things I suppose 
that. it is no wonder we become pessi¬ 
mistic; but I think we should always 
remember that we humans have a tend¬ 
ency to give all our attention to noting 
the bad and failing to observe the 
good.—I. G. S., New York. 
How a Banker Views Far¬ 
mers’ Problems 
(Continued from page 262) 
by a large appropriation) to conduct 
a statewide educational campaign, and 
to send out men, if necessary, to teach 
the farmer the value of the informa¬ 
tion, knowledge, aid and service of 
modern agricultural science, and to en¬ 
list the aid of groups or organizations 
of business men to carry on this work. 
This movement to enrich the State’s ' 
farmers and business men would not 
be at the expense of the city popula¬ 
tions. All classes would benefit. 
If, by applying the best publicity and 
sales-management methods, the State 
Department of Agriculture could “sell” 
to the farmers its accumulated scien¬ 
tific knowledge, could convince them of 
the wisdom of cooperation and intelli¬ 
gent, broad-gauge business methods of 
marketing their- products and buying 
their supplies, and then if those forces 
could be headed up under skilled di¬ 
rection, the benefits in created and con¬ 
served and localized wealth to the 
whole people of the State can hardly 
be overestimated. 
Such a campaign could be conducted 
for a fraction of the expense which 
hundreds of manufacturers incur in 
their advertising. A score of agencies 
would lend free and hearty coopera¬ 
tion. Among these I could confidently 
promise the New York State Bankers’ 
Association. The banker can, as an 
individual and as a member of the as¬ 
sociation, support such a program and 
even help to bring it into being. He 
can lend his influence to obtain a 
liberal appropriation. He can help to 
keep such an appropriation out of the 
hands of professional politicians and 
to put skilled technicians in charge. 
It must be evident that so far as 
such a plan is followed under intelli¬ 
gent leadership, just so far the indi¬ 
vidual farmer profits, the community 
profits, the consumer profits, and the 
wealth of the State is conserved. 
Wealth is not a fixed quantity which 
no man may acquire except by depriv¬ 
ing his fellows; wealth is not some¬ 
thing up in the sky to be reached by 
the fellow with the longest arm. 
Wealth is created value. And no bet¬ 
ter example could be cited than in 
farming, where skill makes unproduc¬ 
tive # or low productive land yield rich 
crops which, but for the farmer’s ex¬ 
pertly applied energy, would never have 
been added to the world’s supply.
