WHAT is YOUR INTENTION?

Are you a land owner? If so, what is your in
Do you propose to regard it merely as a business
investment, and to extract from it every possible
dollar of profit?
We have known farmers whose treatment of
their land was calculated to leave the impression
that they were the ones for whom it was origi-
nally created, and that when they should cease to
need it no other use would ever be made of it.
On the other hand, there are men-and many
of them-who, while striving to make their land
as productive as possible, have yet an eye to the
future owners.
Every farmer when he takes charge of a piece
of ground, should frame this simple resolution:
81 hereby resolve that whether my occupancy
of this land be long or short, l will use every
means at my command to leave it more produc-
tive than when l found it."
If this slogan were the guiding principle
of every farmers life, what a blessed and pro-
ductive country ours would become in a few gen.
%erations!
And why not?
Every farmer who has worked with impov-
erished soil knows how discouraging and heart
s~ickening is the struggle.
And every farmer who has honestly endeav-
ored to improve his land to a point of real produc-
~tiveness knows how gratifying it is to see his
yield mount upward from year to year and to feel
that as the seasons 60 by he is'adding substantial
ly to the wealth of this country-for after all is
said, land is the great tangible asset of the earth.
The man who causes two blades of grass to
grow where only one was growing is a benefactor
of mankind.
The man who so depletes his soil that only
one blade will grow where two formerly grew, is
a thief.
Hard words-yes, hard, but true. No man
has a right to impoverish the soil, even if he does
hold a title deed to it,. At best it is only his fo]
a season, when it must pass on to another right
full owner.
And what about the rights of that next own
er?-And the next, and the next?
When you pursue a policy that impoverishes
your land it goes to your son at your demise
poorer than when you received it.
Have you, in that event, been honest with
your son? He had a right to receive from you
what you received-certainly no less.
Will the farmers of America rob the unborn
generations, or will they leave for them the le-
gacy of a better land than they themselves in
y
1t is a personal question which each individ-
ual must answer for himself.

WHO'S GOT THE MONEY?

We are told that there is more money in the
country today than ever before in our history.
Possibly so, but WHERE is IT? Is it in the
banks or in the hands Of BORROWERS? In
either case it is not in the hands of the mass Of
the people.
Borrowed money is not an asset. 1t is q
liability, and the heaviest kind of one.
Chew these facts for a while, and see how they
digest:
How often can the three-dollar-a-day man
with a family afford eggs at SO and 60 cents a
dozen?
How many porterhouse steaks can he afford
at rs cents?
With flour at $40 a barrel, and potatoes at
So and SO a bushel, and even the humble corn meal
up in the clouds, how much can that large family
afford to eat?
With clothing, shoes, groceries, with every
thing disable up in prices and wages still down,
how often is the poor man going to eat, and what
is he going to eat?
Yes, there are millions-even billions-of
money in the country, but it is in the hands Of
the few, while the many must be content with
envy and longing.
The average wage Garner is to be ~pardoned an
occasional cuss word when he reads of the golden
stream that is pouring into the people,"
He would even like to be one Of "the people,"
