The definition of a farmer is a
tiller of the soil. He was classified
as person who lived on a farm
and worked from sunrise until he
went to bed and didn't do much of
anything else. He was considered
by the city dweller as an ordinary
person who did not know very
much and who had naturally grav-
itated to the level in which he be-
longed.
AS truth he was gentleman
who frequently lacked what are
called refnements, who WAS too
busy Originating true wealth by
wrestling from mother earth the
products which are necessity in
sustaining the life of not only his
critics, but of all humanity to pay
any attention to forms and cere-
monies that might have gained for
him admittance to society.
The farmer in times gone by
raised nearly everything required
for the nt eds of himself and fam
iIy-feed for his stock, wheat for
his -four, hcgs, steers and sheep
for his meat and wool for his cloth
ing-and took just as good care of
his land, to keep it up to the stand
ard of production, as he did OF
himself. Fruit and garden truck
were only an incident. Those were
the days before the canned goods
era" had arrived. How changed
are conditions. Today a farmer
may be anything from a million
aire stock broker (who would not
know a piece of land if he saw it,
but who owns tract of land big
enough to support large colony
to the little truck gardener on the
edge of the city making a living
from two acres of highly cult
waited land, and the returns of the
extremes are in proportion to the
inverse ratio of the relative acre
age.
One man plows and sows and
reaps with the aid of modern ma
chinery) his large tract, and 30
long as the land can stand the
strain will, because Of the size, re-
ceiye a return on his investment.
But a day of reckoning will always
come. You cannot purchase dol
lars worth of some article and still
retain the dollar. just 80 nature
demands a return for her products,
and the man who expects to take
profit from land without compen-
sation is Just as surely a fool as
the man who plays with powder
without knowing it's use. On the
contrary, the truck gardener digs
and works principally by hand
power, replenishing the depletion
Of the land by fertilizers, and thus
never attempting to take something
for nothing. In the end, after Ions
usage, his land is just as product
