that there-soon would be a revival of

war period. "Our reports by states,
he said, show unusual activity in

ture and the agricultural authorities

plishment of these results sought
Faith in Farming Industry.
Mr.. Edwards has an abiding faith in
the farming industry, or business, as
he calls it. 1.-The demand for food in
the last four years." he said, "has
been the heaviest in history and the
prices of soil products, from which all
food is prepared, have been the high
est on record. The same may be said
of cotton and wool. The more thought
full and Industrious the soil worker is,
the more money he has made. The
modern farmer has learned to apply
business principles to his farm, as the
merchant does to his store, and the
financier does to his bank. The rail-
road administration wants every
farmer to be a business man-to re-
fer to himself as a business man. We
call a city ice cream vendor a busi-
ness man. Is the man who produces
grain. fruit, livestock and vegetables
less of a business man? think not.
1.-The great war has left hundreds of
millions of people in Europe and parts
of Asia on short rations-many actu-
ally starving Immense areas of agri-
cultural country have been devas-
tated; cattle, horses, hogs, sheep and
poultry killed; farm implements de-
stroyed; orchards, gardens and vine
yards torn up by shell fire, cut down
by vandal Huns, or trampled under
foot by army wares in battle. Some
25,0O0,000 of the best young men of
a score of nations have been slain or
wounded, and more than half of these
were food producers-from the farm.
1.-The heavy demand for things to
eat and for cotton and wool doubt
less will continue for many years.
Therefore, the man who is engaged in
soil production, or who wishes to so
engage, has excellent prospects for a
competence in his declining days The
Southwest, with its vast area of unde-
veloped country, offers exceptional op-
portunitieS to the homeseeker, and
there is a noticeable movement of
people from the congested centers to
the rural districts. To take care of
inquiries about farm opportunities, the
homeseekers bureau, part of the ag-
ricultural section of the railroad ad-
ministration, was formed. This bu-
reau is receiving an average of 1000
letters a week from men and women
who want information about farm op-
portunities, and more than half the
inquirers are residents of cities. Many
of them are munitfon workers, ship
builders, ETC., who have been employed
at good wages, and possess funds suf-
ficient to enable them to make a lib
country.
All Classes Inquire.
enquiries have come from every
state, and the list of states inquired
about includes all of them. The town
folks who write for data regarding
farm oppoz ztunities generally say that
they have friends who have made a
success cultivating the soil, and they
want to try their hand at it. Farmers
who write a T1I1p those who
have sold out at a fancy price in an
old, densely populated stated and want
to buy a larger acreage in a state
where land is less expensive. Usually
they have boys in the army, and want
