ably passed when one might expect
to buy cheap land and mcke a profit
by the geenral advance in land prices.
The owner of such land is almost GER
tain to find his carrying charges great
er than the advance in his land values
But the instinct for land as a life
preserver is true instinct There
is no question as to the superiority as
compared with a nation. of landlords
and tenants. Not only Is the govern
ment more stable when many own
the land; life itself is better defended
against the ills of poverty and oppres-
sion. An affectionate and lovable care
for the land is a prerequisite "that
thy days may be long upon the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee"

OWN A LITTLE LAND

Minneapolis Journal-Land is the
chief source of physical life. One crop
failure simultaneously suffered over
all the world would probably cause
the death of half the human race
within a year-so close do we live to
the soil
This immediate and vital depend
ence on the soil has created a kind
of human instinct that one should
hold title to land-at least enough to
family. Men who think carefully or
carelessly concerning self support
agree that little land is good thing
for any man to own, as a kind of old
age insurance.
The idea of safety in land is based
on two beliefs, first that living on a
farm is the nearest approach to SIM
plicity in living; and second, that the
man on the land is the last to die of
hunger. The history of the human
race has proven these two points to
be we'll taken. The case of blockaded
Germany is now prominent testimony
The best nourished people in central
Europe today are the comparatively
ultra rich of the cities and the owners
of land. Even the pantry searching
police were unable to prevent the Ger
man owners Of land from feeding
themselves comparatively WELL
The mere ownership II land Is not
necessarily life insurance. A little
land may be big load to little
owner. 1t would be unwise to carry
an unproductive farm for lifetime
only to use 1t little while as an old
age retreat. II land is to carry a
man In old age it should be made 1T
least to carry itself during his work
ing years. In making this land in
|yestment. therefore. continuously pro-
ductive land should be chosen. A lit
tile of this better than much unpro-
ductive land. The days have .rob-

which for the needs OF the country
should amount TO 8.O00, 900 tons (equiv-

not reach the latter fgure by her own
means for seventeen and perhaps
thirty-hve years. This is the result OF
a careful study by a naval expert, who
based the figure Of seventeen years on
the highest yearly production In
France during a period Of ten years,
and the other figure, thirty-five years,
in the average production during that
same period, running from 1904 20
