THE WORLDS GREATEST ARMY
MOVING WORLDS BIGGEST CROP

Year after year they raise the same
crops on their lands. Meanwhile
yields decline as they are bound to do
under such treatment. No soil less
wonderfully fertile than that of the
United States could have withstood
this systematic robbery so long as it
has. But it is beginning to tell rap
idly now, so rapidly that if the present
rate of progress continues the United
States will become food importing
nation within five years.
Contrast this condition with that of
the farmers of those thrifty little coun-
tries. Denmark, Holland and Belgium,
or even with the larger European
countries like England. France and
Germany. Twenty or twenty five years
ago these nations were producing little
more on the average from their acres
than were the farmers of America, but
while the latter have been standing
still the former have been getting
more and more every year from their
lands until now their average product
per acre is twice that of the United
States This difference is often at

Growth in Population.
The reason for this is not far to
seek. 1t is indicated by the census re-
ports that show a growth in the popu-
lation of the United States of AZ per
cent since 1890 while the increase in
the total output of the six leading
cereal crops has been less than 80 per
cent in spite of the vast new areas
brought under cultivation. while the
increase in yield per acre has been
only about five per cent. The crux of
the whole problem of the alarming
growth in the expense of filling the
American family's market basket IS
found in the fact that the number of
mouths to be fed has been multiplying
so much more rapidly than the supply
with which to feed them and that, so
far as increasing the output of the
average acre of United States farm
land is concerned, the boosted progress
of agricultural science and education

Blease with favoring social equality be-
