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

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 Hes 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 q warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors das quickly as can
the dwellers in the cities, because It
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. It takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers 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
mot had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
OF reading half dozen extras o day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind. og-Sas 3s3E;giSSs, 3,s3E5g' Il, :, sssS7s
It 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 Ina long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man'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
saber:rattlers insulted our women. 1t
seemed to many Of US that we were
not at war-the thing was so far off.
We did not realize what giant war
had become-a monster with a thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths Of
everything we grey: But finally we
saw that it was so. ~SSss -a--...ss
If the Imperial German government |
had made and enforced an order that !
no american farmer should leave his

be sold through the seed trade, to
| logging companies, or to persons in
terested in large areas of livestock
range. Rye grass should be harvest
ed before dead ripe to prevent shat
tering, and loss of color. The right
time is when it is in the hard dough
stage. If low weeds are present it
should be cut with a header or self
rake set rather high, to leave the
weed seed out.
Culture of rye or orchard grass or
tall oat grass offers many alluring
possibilities on some of the lands too
heavy to be plowed profitably each
year Getting them laid down to a
good perennial grass for seed pur-
poses should produce profitable crops
needed in the agricultural systems
OF the Pacific northwest. A single
seed company writes that they can
handle 500 tons of English or Ital-
ian rye grass a year, and that they
import 1t only because of the diff
