Mr. Merrill is a hot-headed farmer who is constantly at work in his field. Having no education he thinks it is not necessary for his son, Merton, to learn more of farming as he has been pondering upon further schooling himself. Gus, the Swedish hired man, is of a careless nature, always threatening to quit but never taking further action. Miss Rose Meade, a charming school teacher has won the heart of Merton Merill. She does not think it possible to live happily on a farm so she refuses his offer of marraige. Mr. Ashley, a lawyer, has convinced Merton that he should learn more of scientific farming so Merton decides to go to school. In rage Mr. Merill demands that Merton give up his notion of learning to farm from books or else leave home. Mrs. Merrill pleads for Merton, but all in vain. Act II. In the city Merton has gained much popularity along with the desired knowledge. At a ball he meets Ashley and hears news from his home he had left five years before. Margerie, a society belle, makes many slighting remarks about the farm and Rose at once becomes indignant. As the evening progresses Mrs. Merill comes and Merton is overjoyed to see her and returns with her to the farm. Act III. Merton is a thrifty farmer. Gus has become more careful and sanitation has been instilled upon his mind and he has won the affection of Hulda, the Swedish maid. Rose Meade and Mr. Ashley arrive and Merton finds that Rose has changed her mind and wishes to help him on the farm. 20
