I'm the field of agriculture we have
agencies and instrumentalities, for
tunately, such as no other govern
ment in the world can show. The
department of agriculture is un-
doubtedly the greatest practical and
scientific agricultural organization in
tho world. t. The banking legis-
lation of the last two or three years
has given the farmers access to the
great lendable capital of the coun-
try. Both by direct purchase of
nitrates and by the establishment OF
plants to produce nitrates the govern
ment is doing it's utmost to assist in
the problem of fertilization. The de-
partment of agriculture and other
agencies are actively assisting the
farmers to locate, safeguard and Sc
cure at cost an adequate supply OF
sound seed. The department has ST.
100000 available for this purpose
now and has asked the congress for
s6,000,OOO more.
Problem of Labor.
The labor problem is one of great
difficulty and some of the best agen-
cies of the nation are addressing
themselves to the task of solving it.,
so far as it is possible to solve it. =
LET me say that the stimulation
of the agencies l have enumerated
has been responded to by the farmers
in splendid fashion. Last spring
their planting exceeded by 12,OOO,-
900 acres the largest planting of any
previous year, and the yields from
the crops were record breaking yields.
In the fall of 1917 wheat acreage
of 42,17O,O0O was planted, which
was 100000 larger than for any
preceding year, 100000 greater
than the next largest, and 100000
greater than the preceding five year
average.
But l ought to say to you that it
is not only necessary that these
achievements should be repeated, but
that they should be exceeded. 4
Il will not appeal to you to con-
tinue and renew and increase your
efforts. | do not believe that it is
necessary to do so. I believe that
you will do it without any word or
appeal from me, because you under
stand as we'll as I do the needs and
opportunities of this great hour when
the fortunes of mankind everywhere
seem about to be determined and
| when America has the greatest op-
portunity she has ever had to make
good her own freedom and in making
| it good to lend helping hand to
men struggling for their freedom
everywhere. You remember that it
was farmers from whom came the
first shots at Lexington, that set
afame the revolution that made
America free. I hope and believe
that the farmers of America will viii
lingly and conspicuously stand by
to win this war also. The toll, the
intelligence, the energy, the fore,
sight, the self sacrifice and devotion
of the farmers of America will, be-
lieve, bring to triumphant concul,
sion this great last war for the eman
cipation of men from the control OF
arbitrary government and the self
ishness of class legislation and con
troll, and then when the end has
come, we may look each other in the
face and be glad that We are Ameri
cans and have had the privilege tt
play such a part

MAKING A TEST

The latest Developments OF the
BiSbee (Ariz) case bids fair TO
bring to n iect the much mooted
question thNt has agltated tho press
and forum OF lhe county for nearly
year. II will demonstrate Just
how far private citizens can take
into their own hands tho execution
OF needed vigllante methods in re-
moving m snaces from a community
without process OF law. Twenty
one citizens of the town are under
arrest by federal order for tho de-
portation OF large number OF un.
desirable citizens, The accusation
Is that in so doing they we're guilty
OF conspiracy to deprive citizens OF
constitutional rights. It Is doubtful
IL the prosecution will entertain
evidence to show tho emergency
which caused tho action In tho be-
ginning There was ample provo
cation for what was done, but It Is
not to he supposed that such provo
cation would be regarded In the
light of iusuticatIon
The fact Is, as far as we have
been able to determine. that the
community, and Incidentally tho
welfire of the nation, was imperilod
by the agitation Of dlsloyallsts, who
sought to cripple the production OF
copper and thus interfere with the
nations preparations for war The
deportation was wholesale, and. 1t
appears. was not sufficiently dis
eliminating 10 be just Unoffcnd-
ing. lew-abidlnR citizens, ns well as
I. W. w ag1tators, were oXi'ad
without trial, and this lack of dis
elimination, while perhaps unavold-
able. brought on federal action. The
result will he watched with deep in
torest by all parts OF tho country,
This way OF taking law into tho
hands OF tho masses is bad thing,
even when dono for "a good purpose
It has been tried in many places
since the war began Many times 1t
seemed to he the only sufficient pre-
ventlve OF disaster, and was NOR
ally condoned by the sentiment OF a
community that would scorn to ap-
prove Of lawlessnoss. Now the Ques-
ton Is put to tho test whether It is
hest to suffer by waiting on tho slow
