Lett the dry heart fill its cup,
Like Il poppy looking up;
Let Life lightly wear her crown,
Like the poppy looking down
When its heart is filled with dew,
And its life begins anew.

Almost revolution is taking place

milk have been formed in many places,
and the agitation has taken on the i'm
portance of congressional inquiry
No doubt the greedy trusts have TAX
en- advantage of conditions and forced
prices upward There should be Wig
orous prosecution of such vtllainous
conspiracy
But
After all is said and done, at bottom
the problem of food in this country
and everywhere will always be the
problem of demand aud supply
We have not enough farms or farm
ers.
And the farms are not producing
enough.
The final solution of it all is contain
ed in the slogan Back to the landr'
Because we have too few farms and
farmers and too small production per
acre our soil output is not keeping
pace with our increasing population.
This, together with the congested con-
ditions of our great cities, is respon-
sible for the abnormally high prices.
Back to the land!
Miserable millions in our cities are
barely able to keep body and soul to
gether. They could be prosperous and
happy in the country where nobody
ever need miss d meal.
Some of these are in the city by
choice. They are attracted by the
glamour and excitement Some are
held there by their vices. They would
not so to the country IL they could
and would not stay if they should go.
Some. however. and that is the pa
thos of 1t all. yearn forever for the
fields.
But we Shall be able to get these
people back 70 the land. where they be
long and long to be. The big opportu-
mites of the farming life should be
pointed out to our young men
No other calling holds out such in
ducements in the way of thrift and
satisfaction and Independence
Intelligence and industry applied to
agriculture will make the farmers life
even more prosperous and attractive
than 1t has been during the past dec
ade.
Young man, if you are on the farm
stay there and study scientific farm
ing.
And, young man, if you are not on
the farm and looking for something
worth while, educate yourself In mod.
