Our Challenges.
The scenes are shifting on the
stage Of American agriculture
and the great Epic Drama will
start just an soon AZ our Euro
pean job is completed.
In the fiercely competitive
days that are to follow. the
American farmer will need every
ounce Of staying power mani
tested thru the best business
management, the use Of the best
farm practices and community
cooperation to maintain their
present position in the front
ranks.
What are we doing in the way
Of preparation?
Are we slumbering along. TAX
ing it easy" and hoping some
kind providence will assume per-
sonal charge Of our destinies?
Shall we haul down our sign
and invite the public to forget
that Pine County ever produced
good products. Or shall we ac-
curately discount the future and
lay our plans to cope with it?
IL our flag up at full mast? In
brief, does the public know Pine
County Is alive and bending ener-
gy to standardizc our crops, to
improve our herds with good
sires and using the right kind of
feed and care to enable such
stock as we have to produce at a
profit or give room to those that
can?
Answer these questions hon
estly and even the school chill
dren can tell whether or not we
are on the short cut to progress
sive development or bound for
the scrap neap.
These are heroic days, remem.
Der. and there is no substitute
for courage and vision. We are
either big or little men and our
attitude right now will settle the
matter once and for all.
From our county thresher-
mems report up to October 3lst,
Pine county increased her wheat
area by about $500 acres over
last year and her total wheat
yield by about $4,000 bushels
over last year. If the Kaiser
thinks we did not hold the third
line trench he has another guess
coming.
