The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe.
cially loves peace. Since the dawn OF
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out Of doors in plain
sight and is spoil Of war-his house,
his grain, his livestock The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations Of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer Is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because 1t
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellsrs from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast Of the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand it's meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half dozen extras day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time In a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
1t Is impossible to set the farmers
OF the United States on fire by means
of any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In a long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's s
Land in the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us of our cattle or horses. No
eaber-rattlers insulted our women. 1t
seemed to many Of US that we were
not at war-the thing was 80 far off.
We did not realize what a giant war
had become-a monster with thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths Of
everything we grew. But finally we
saw that 1t was SO.
If the Imperial German government
had made and enforced an order that
10 American farmer should ]9aVe his
(rhis is the Fjrs& Of three articjs6.

THE WAR, THE FARM
: :. AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

| own land, haul grain or drive stoGe
to town. 1t would have done only 0
little more than It accomplished AV
its interdict against the freedom q
the sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when We went I'm.
to this war? Look At the condition &C
the American farmer In the latter
part Of 1914 and the Arst half o4 1915
and see..
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use Of the sea 40
highway And the farmers Of
America faced ruin. know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop Of 2S.
900 bushels OF wheat for seventy cents
bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost Of pro-
ducing it. All this time those poe.
tions Of the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
1t never returned for the farmerS ok
those nations which remained cut OF
from ocean traffic.
Take the case OF Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold On
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
So In spite Of the efforts Of the Gov.
ernment to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted In the open.
Millions Of tons have been lost for
lack Of market.
Such conditions spell ixrekrievable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break of the war until now Il our
Government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price Of wheat and cot
ton, and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear of loss In
profits from failure to market your
crops? BY no means! You would
fight to the last gasp! Not to make
money, but to be free!
When a man is enslaved, all he
loses in money is his wages. But the
white man has never been able to &C.
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaved. There rises up
In him Ainst servitude q resentment
SO terrible that death always IN pref.
eTa6la.

was unable to do a thing. My life
was misery, my stomach got in an
awful condition, caused from taking
so much medicine. I suffered SO much
pain. I had just about given up all
hopes Of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was
