THAT only of agricultural land be wealthy the tn
sense impressed upon by the increa
ing cost of living and value farming land Ebert Hubbard
the current of the Phistne tells why nation city
on long prosper which has land for the basis of its value
he following is taken from the article referred to:
The high of living thing To food
primal need This has always been the most important
business in the world always will be- Hunger the first
incentive migration Our belonged to the Aryan
They had their the upands of India And out Of India
came swarmng hungry hords in great mgraons The
migration stopped the fertile banks the Nile and there
civilization was born wealth of Egypt from the raising
of wheat overflow of the Nile supplied moisture and nu
on soil laughed harvest The next migration that
Assyan who settled the banks Of the Euphrates and
the Tber there they built two great cities Babylon and
Nnveh But rich the plains Of Assyra food failed at
times In read of how certain of these
Asyrans compelled down into Egypt and beg for
food And we lea later Joseph with the help of the Egyp
ans the market From Assyra the tide OF migra
ton Greece and from Greece to Rome Each of these
great powesEgypt Assyria, Greece and Rome-had its
basis in agriculture.
Out of the surplus produced the cities
built All great municipalities had their rise herdsmens
camp then the fort; the trading then city But
no city great that not supported by
agricultural district
In the Of Alexander three hundred fifty before
Greece foodstus AWAITED and the Persans
PEELED to do something, just today.
All and of these proud great civilizations in turn,
brought low when be prosperous Power in
the past has cenred cities The farmers pucked of
their best The cities drained of their and of their
treasure War and took their brightest boys
Finally nothing the cities remained and then these cities
went down Of ogefuness The star OF empire moved
to the The schooners of but few years re-
vealed to the great law of migration
Land is great mother Of all We feed on the land
and the dcum that man is land animal has been dis
proven or disputed.
Men prosper mentally, physically morally and spiritually
only as they are in proximity the soil Today the avail
able acreage the world has all been taken Within
short time marked advance in the cost of food
supplies and have also marked advance the value OF
land But for the history not free to pack
nm and move on simply because there place to We
now obliged food problem; and doing
moving b by where and bringing science
TO hear on farming prices higher simply because pop
aton has increased than the country The
best labor the brains ingenuity and the capital have
settled in cities II is the old storyal things move

We have doing again just what Egypt Assyria
Rome did in the olden tmeno exactly perhaps IN
the same way but with We have drained the
try of the best has been immense the
cities practically podded along the same old
way would continue doing indefinitely not for the
fact that suddenly been aroused by the OF high
prices thought Of hunger has startled into action The
statement York City constantly within eight hours
brought the question OF food home to our MINDS
way America has before viewed the proposition
The farmer now holds the key to the situation.
