In the poem that caught general at tention a few years ago the man with the hoe was presented as a stunted ob ject. a pathetic failure, without re wHFd for ceasele.ss hard wort, a crea ture who never had a chance to know the Joy of living. It was a false note at the time, but suggested a subject worthy of thought. The national secretary of agricul ture has reviewed the food situation and he declares: "The farmer who makes five bushels of grain grow when* three grew before contributes as much to victory and the future peace and security of thy world as any man In the trenches." So runs the argu ment everywhere In a world crisis In which energetic, practical action Is a grim necessity. A danger must be overcome lest It overcome civilization.
