In fact, the whole world is apparently jus: now beginning to realize that thr- u; 1- eep of the human race is the farrner's burden. and unless he does his part well the raer will soon er or later coine to want. Mining is *ne Of our essential industries, and man. 'facturing is an adjunct to practically -every calling (if man. Our tishing in dustry iurnishes a permanent source of food. These things are all supplemen. tary to our one big industry, which is farming. ,While we may not at first thought like to concede this, it is a fact, and a second thought is all that will be needed to convince us. % "he soil is the real source of our livelihood, whether we happen to be farmer or manufacturer, pauper of mi lionaire, and what we must do is not only to keep the producing power to a constant level, btto raise it as the number of pleople in the world increases. This is what our agricltural writers are trying to impress upon the farmers and all the world as well. This is what the farmers must reai.e before our agriculture can possibly be considered safe. The lackofflaprctinf thi isjut wathas called forth more [ than 600,000 articles on agriculture, ant the publication of over 496,000,000 pagea --of agricultural literature in 1916f. Ar appreciation of this fact by the entir< race wvill spell the difference betweer plenty and want within, h oi years. It will fortify us against star :ation by preparing us to put to goot ase the forces at our hands. ?I. 'Mne of the sacred duties of ever latd owner is to make n study of im~ proved methods-and pull up the yiek *er acre, It is this and only this tha' makes for safety. If a soldier at the front falls down on the job we call hiin f raitor, and court-martial him, and orde him put to death. Why? Because w have depended on him for protectio asnd he has failed us. Is a farmer fall down on his part of the game we Ie nuatore invite him into another callinj earfila d1labor by set ting a limit to hi: income, by making it impossible foi him to support a family on his acres ile sells the farm and goes to the nearby wvIlage' or town or city and becomes day laborer. That is the price he payl 4 for trying to cheat mother earth of hei treaures, and the price we all pay ir this instanice is to have thrown back A upon us land robbed of its fertility-of its producing power. "Now let us take two lines of thought and analyze them. Let us see just what they mean. The first one is of the greatest immediate importance, because it is the most convincing. No farmer at this time could be expected to let his Apatriotism make a stronger appeal than his love of money, or his desire for ma terial gain. Farming, like other trades, is a~ voluntary matter, but when onet entered upon forces upon him who elects ~.~it as s veAtion an obligation to matlc 63the best out of it. .If he has made a mistake in the selection of a vocatiori we can all see how much better it would be both for him and for all of us for 'r - im to changp to something else.

The man who makes money out of the soil is gencrally a successful farmer and is a man to whom the man agement of the soil can be entrusted. lie is sure to help prepare the world against want and hunfger while he is feathering his own nest. le is the man who makes two blades of grass grow whe're only one grew before or two drops of milk flow where only one 'flew' before. lie will enrich the soil. because he knows that large crops can never be grown on poorly tilled farms. le ree ognizes from the beginning that a fertile sil is the basis of success in agricul ture and bends all his energies in this direction. lie knows that the cause of good farming rests ;n the proper treat ilnt of the soil, whi-v the etfeCt is big erp z at harvest time. lie also know that cause always precedes effect.

"We all have our specitic obligation, but 1 am speaking here of the part that farmers must assume in our new pro gram of defense. They must see all sides of the problem and cut down waste. They must build up weak places and give their best efforts to increase the producing power of the soil if they would meet their responsibility." One of Life's Mysteries Gaffney Ledger.
