What car values? ^ The day ^ is paS when any motor car buyer is content with glittering generalities. On the great essentials of motor car construction the buyer is quite able to form an intelligent judgment.

No. 5 PHILADELPHIA, PA., MAY, 191*^ Five Cents SHALL PENNSYLVANIA FARMING GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD ? The Lesson of a Great State that Fails to Teach Her Agri- cultural Resources and Possibilities to Her Own SonsâA Plea for Rural Progress With a better market for her high-grade farm products that at any pre- vious time in her history, with greater profit and greater comfort to those of her sons who have adopted modern methods, and with these new standards winning success for her sons elsewhere, the great State of Pennsylvania, pos- sessing every weahh of soil, climate and location, has been losing her farm population at the rate of more than 120,000 annually. In every other line of endeavor nowadays men train to become specialists. In every modern community there is an effort to make life pleasant. When Pennsylvania farmers locate elsewhere they arc surrounded by modern condi- tionsâbut on the old farm and in the old school district and among the legis- lators who have never learned modern farm methodsâit has not as yet been realized that the modern farmer or resident of the country needs a special education and a new viewpoint from that ordinarily taught. Illinois spends 9.8 cents per capita for agricultural education. New York spends 7.7 cents, Pennsylvania spends 1.5 cents. As our readers are already aware there was held in March a Country Life Conference in Pliiladclphia, to call attention to these facts and conditions, and to awaken an interest that would tend to improve them. The conference was held under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Rural Progress Association and it was a great success, being attended by over 2000 persons who were addressed by many eminent men and women who have done constructive work in rural dis- tricts and could speak with authority upon the plans and means for their estab- lishment of a truly great and prosperous cit the suburbs. Get information about the local enterprise. Look into the possi- l)ilities and accomplishments in dollars per acre from intelligent, modern, intensive farming an<l fruit growing by individuals and com()anies. Adopt the methods of broad gauge menâtake a look, and Do it NowâIN THE EAST. The broad gauge vision will focus within one hundred miles just as clear as it will on points that arc thousands of miles away. Population makes trade, and Eastern i)opulations are needing more supplies and are paying higher to get them than ever before. The logic of the short haul is plain. Is the East slow? Answer for yourself. Are you asking the tiew enterprise to "wait a year, and then perhaps " Are you looking into the old concern or the old farm that needs young blood?
