1894, when good milk COWS could be
bought at SIS to 500 per head.

The American farmer can win the

the Federal Land Bank Board. He
can fight with his corn and wheat and
hogs. and he will have to, for corn
and wheat and hogs and foodstuffs of
part in this great conflict as the big
guns in France That is true in the
sense in which Mr.. Quick meant il.
but it is not literally true. Because
the same may be said of the miner.
who delyes into the ground and
brings forth the coal and the ore,
without which this great war cannot
be won. The same may be said of the
manufacturing industries. which
cl0the and furnish our armies and ma
vies with munitions and the nipple
ments of war. And the same may be
said of the railways, which distribute
the products of the various sections
of our country and mobilize our great
resources along the Atlantic coast.
The whole truth is that there must be
a conservation and a cooperation of
all branches of industry and of all the
sources of production and distributions,
and the men of the farm, in the store,
in the mine, in the factory and on the
railways of our country must be mar
tailed into one great industrial army
to support efficiently and effectively
that other great army that shall car
