It snuffs out competition by the
power of its money and the people
are like so many serfs to be used at

We dwell with fears on either hand
Within daily strife.
And special problems waiting stand
Before the gates OF life
The doubts we valnly seek to solve
The truths we know are one
The known and nameless stars revolve
Around the central sun.
And II we reap as we have sown
And take the dole we deal
The law Of pain Is love alone;
The wounding Is to heal
Unframed from change to change we
glide.
We fall as In our dreams
The faroff terror at our side
A smiling angel seems.
Secure on Gods all tender heart
Alike rest great and small.
Why fear to lose our little part
When he Is pledged for all?

demonstration farms, and the National
Corn Exposition. AS head of the ex-
tension department of Iowa State Col
lege of Agriculture he did a work
which, Senator Cummins says, up to
the present time has increased the
wealth of Iowa $30,000.OOO
The object Of the H C Service Blu.
reau is the promotion Of agricultural
education, and cooperation which
Will tend to raise the whole tone OF
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture is the basis of pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
is higher efficiency both on and OF
the farm.
To do big work a big organization
Is necessary. Not only the bigness.
but the perfection of the International
organization as well appealed to Pro-
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada; the statesmen.
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers-every one, so far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
OF better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm
portance of service. 1t has spent mil
lions Of dollars in the perfection of la
Dor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers and direct to
the farmers children. that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
1t is no longer theory that If we
are to get the most out of life we
must raise more per acre "Inten-
sive farming" is in the air 1t is the
battle cry of peace and plenty But
raising more is the result of mind.
not muscle. We must know And
not only that, we must know we
know, and know why we know. We
must know good seed from bad, right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefors Of climates, soils.
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and so
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average Increase of few bushels.
They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels of
corn, wheat and oats to the acre.
and like yields of all other kinds OF
farm products. They see time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means just
that much profit, and the profits of
the farm promote commerce and I'm
dustry.
After a period of good work in Mich
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and a great work at Iowa,
Professor Holden now enters upon a
worlds work. While in future Pro-
fessor Holden will designate Chicago
as home, Ne says he is not leaving Iowa
he is merely carrying Iowa - the
rest OF the world.
