peace Mr., Ousley continued. I'VE
must remember that several years
viii be required 10 bring about re-
adjustment OF economic and indus
trial conditions, Many whole coun-
tries have been devastated; their la
Dor has been more or less decimated
and the demand for physical recon
struction OF the cities, OF roads and
OF public works will be so great and
wages probably so high that it may
come to pass that few people com
paratiyely will be inclined to go back
to the farm.
Danger of Slackened Production
"lt is altogether possible, there
fore that for few years following
the complete restoration of peace
there will be lack of normal pro-
duction. Farmers and their families
who have exertcd themselves to an
unusual extent to produce for war
purposes may not be so much in
clined to exert themselves to an un-
usual extent in peace times. The i'm
pulse or the motive OF patriotism
will have been removed or at least
will be no more than the ordinary
human concern for the welfare of
the whole brotherhood OF man. That
is very beautiful sentiment, but il
does not always work to the stimu-
lation of extraordinary energy.

City People May Seek
Country for Profits

Country for Profits
Owe have been talking a long time
about stopping the How of the peo-
pie from the country to the city
Possibly high prices for food may
cause a reversal OF the tide of move
ment and city people will seek the
country for its profits as heretofore
country people have sought the city
for the exceptional and spectacular
profits and the luxurious lie that the
cities offer
If am far from urging people to
rush heedlesly to the country with
ont training or equipment for farm
ing. The business OF agriculture is
a serious business. 1t IS not mere
drudgery although it requires much
hard labor but it involves all OF the
animal and plant sciences. Indeed 1t
is the process OF recreation, so to
speak, because it takes the dull and
inert substances of the earth and
them into things OF use and
beauty II is an art vocation and
an industry and it is not to be
learned in day or week. 1t does
not ofier the hope Of very great
fortune or OF quick riches but it
does ofier to the industrious, the in
telligent the patient, a good living
and 4 fair accumulation. It is a.
business for wholesome
people
"IIowever, | do raise the ques-
tion whether many city people might
not greatly benefit their condition
by seeking work and opportunity IN
the country instead OF IN these CON
gested ceuters.

Heroism on the Farms.
Mr.. Ousley spoke OF the heroism
on American farms-of the sacri-
fees American farmers and farm
women have made this season under
trying labor conditions He COM
pared the sacrifices OF poor peas
ant woman OF France who lost her
husband and four sons in battle with
with those OF the wife ot farmer
in New York state who not only
performs the household tasks but
lends hand in the field. In four
years. Mr.. Ousley said, this woman
has rarely had breakfast later than
o O'Clock or supper earlier than
s O'Clock. The hours between are I.
her working day. "On July ;, ~ |
wrote this woman 10 the Depart |
ment OF Agriculture, II cut an acre
and half of peas and my husband |
pulled them back, and on july ) We |
had an Is pound boy. Since then
! have been tied 10 the house more .
or less, but by getting the little
neighbor girl 10 tend the baby
cut twelve acres OF hay across the
road on another farm while my hus-
band was helping my father draw in
grain"
Il dare not say which of these
two women is the greater heroine"
said Mr.. Ousley-"the one suffering
denial, bearing children. enduring
grief, toiling in field or factory and
home but sustained by the inspira-
ton of immediate contact with the
greatest tragedy in human history;
the other, far removed from the
sound or sight OF military spec
tacle. likewise suffering denial,
bearing children, but sustained by
the unspoken and unutterable in
stinct for sacrifice and creation ',
which is the uniailing quality OF her d;
sex. :
