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

"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

is a~ voluntary matter, but when onet
