Food Supply and Population.

To make II possible for the people
OF the United States to raise. clothe
and feed future generations, we must
change our system OF agriculture. We
cannot depend upon Uncle Sam for
any more land, and the only method
by which we can keep the United
States on the map Is to make two
blades OF grass grow where only one
grew before.
During the last decade the popula-
ton OF the United States increased %
per cent. During the same period the
production OF beef In the United
States fell off 20 per cent.
A few years ago 1t cost the labor
ing man $52.05 for his yearly supply OF
meat-today the same number OF
pounds OF meat cost ss5.05, an In
crease of $4,000.
In view OF this what shall we do1
A careful analysis shows that we
need more fertile fields. or rather
fields with greater fertility.
We need larger aGd better herds.
We need better roads.
We need larger bank accounts.
We need better homes.
We need better citizenship.
How can all this be done?
Ar7ara gSfes larger yields from
the crops that follow.
Alfalfa contains more protein per
ton than clover or corn.
Alfalfa is the agricultural wonder
OF the twentieth century.
Alfalfa yields from two to three
times as much as clover or timothy.
and is more valuable hay.

The blind begEar at first did not get above the material He only knew he could see. But after he saw Jesus again he saw the truth and a larger life opened to him. Many other lives have been different before and after such a vision. Peter casting his net into the sea was very different from the Peter fishing for souls; the raging Saul of Tarsus, from the Apos- tie Paul: the Magdalen giving way to her lower nature, from the later Mag dalen of clean womanhood; and the Chrysostem orating for the applause of the people from the Chrysoston preaching the simple gospel message. Every man should be able to see won derful things and to be able to re- late them in his life. Men are changed by seeing as we'll as having the world changed for them.
