MORE HOME OWNERS.

The Eagle is not only an advocate
of diversified farming, but OF intensi'
fed farming as well. We have long
contended that small farms thorough
ly cultivated and made to yield to
their fullest capacity, we're more
profitable than large acreages only
half cared for and half cultivated.
Small farms mean more home owners
and a greater prosperity In every way.
This fact is amply borne out In the
high priced lands Of the Middle West,
where the farms are all small and
where the population is very dense.
There every edge is made to cut and
every inch Of space is utilized. There
is no lost motion. Discussing the
small farm, the Waco Times-Herald
says:
"Ciyilization begins and ends with
the plow.' The bread line proves this.
"Mr. Jefferson feared for America
when our people get piled upon one
another in large cities, as in Europe.
He rejoiced in the fact that he never
yet saw a native American begging in
the streets or highways
1T is because Of abandoned farms
and inaccessible land that distress
from time to time. comes on our
cities.
"A city is all right as long as II is
properly fed. All food comes out Of
the ground. When the city gets tc
where its demands are beyond the
ability of the soil to support, II at
once becomes an inverted pyramid
liable to topple at any moment The
factory is good only as long as there
is a demand for its product from those
who live from the soil
''The fathers of Texas meant t
guard against abnormal conditions
when they exempted the homestead
from forced sale. Our business or
CARNATIONS can do a great work fo
the city and the country as a whole
by lending every possible assistance
to those who would own and cultivate
the small farm"
