More Live Stock.

Agriculture is the great primary
business of the human race. With
out it the world would perish. Were
the farm lands to lock up their few
remaining supplies and refuse to be
longer abused by our cumbersome
methods, a condition far exceeding
all powers of human imagination
would doubtless follow.
The most lasting form of wealth
is real estate. The most useful of
all real estate is the land adapted for
farming. 1t therefore becomes our
duty to preserve, IN so far as We are
able, the fertility of these soils. Fer
several decades we have labored
along under unsafe systems, hardly
realizing the utter devastation and
poverty that would eventually over
take our once fertile soils. But now
IN the year 1917 when we come face
to face with startling facts and be.
hold the fertile fields of our fathers,
as generous of spirit as ever, yet IN
able to give of their one time hount-
eous store, then it is we realize the
calamity which has betallen US and
we begin to seek methods whereby
we may be able to correct the mis-.
takes of those who have gone before.
In mad effort to regain our hold
we have started a slogan over our
entire nation resulting in a move
ment known as vback to the land. -
Sad is it that our citizens interpret
1t as call for inhabitants, for In
truth, it is merely the cry for the re-
turn of the fertility that has been
carried away in the corn, wheat, and
tobacco we have sold.
Showing these things to be true
we must turn away from this system
of ruthless waste, and secure a
method whereby our agriculture may
become permanent and lasting. Up
on such a method we are starting
work today and the farmers of Muh-
lenhefg county are becoming inter-
ested in the improvement and main
tainance of the soil.
