II you we're taken away tomorrow,
hat your successors are lily prepared
totake up the fight. This is the mos,
serious problem confronting you today
and the one to which you are giving
the least attention.
School Club Work Prepares the
Reserves.
And now who are the reserves and
what measures are being taken to or
ganize and equip them. What is be-
ing done to fit them for the duties OF
life which are so soon to be thrust
upon them. When we look for the de-
Tense of our country against the In
vasions of a foreign foe, we look to
our Uncle Samuel to make the pre-
%parations. To map out a line Of work,
to select and fit men to carry on that
TO pay the bills. And SO the great
work Of preparing the line Of reserves
to take place when you fall by the
way has to a large extent been taken
over by your Uncle Samuel, not I'm the
sense Of e|qulpping and training sold
iers for the battlefield. however, but
In training and equipping a line Of
reserves who can take your place on

when ended, and the great period Of
reconstruction and rehabilitation sets
In, VIII tax the resources of this coun-
try to It's very limits. That period
of reconstruction will create demands
upon our American farmers and bust

be demands for our products on lines
not heretofore made, lines which are
at present undeveloped and unthought
of. Market conditions will change and
only the nan who is prepared, will
reap the benefit thereof. Two decades
more Of constant use of our soils
means that those soils will have to
be treated far different from what
they are now. Old soil will have to
be made new. Oils now In use must
be conserved. We cannot forever take
from our fields a heavy harvest and
pay back nothing in the way of as
sistance to the soil. There are no
doubt this afternoon, within sound
Of my voice, farmers from the east
or the middle west who can recall
farms which three or four decades ago
were called fertile farms and which
were giving forth abundant harvests.
But the armers of that period were
