Mankind is always happier from
having owned land. If you help men
acquire some land today, you make
them happier twenty years hence by
the memory of it. AS for little more
money and little more time, which
bar so many, why, it is ten to one
that either would make them digna-
fed land owner.
Land possession conveys a quick
sensibility to the beauties of nature
and a keen relish for the pleasures
and enjoyments Of the country. Even
the inhabitants of cities, born and
brought up among brick walls and on
bustling streets, enter with, facility
into rural habits, and evince a tact
for rural occupations. Those less for
tunate individuals who are doomed to
pass their lives in the midst of din
and traffic, contrive to have few
acres that remind them of the green
aspects of nature.
A few acres of land betters hui
man environment.
1t means gardens, flowers, fruits,
vegetables; it means pure water,
fresh air, sunshine, health, happiness,
hope, light and love. As a very hum
BILE and lowly member of the plow-
mans craft and as one who still has a
considerable distance to go before be-
coming artistic enough to run a
straight furrow (even though / won
the prize while at Berry School for
having done such a tedious job),
can yet appreciate the tremendous
advantage that a real landowner en-
joys over some men.
In the first place, he has content
ment, that most valuable of human
sek-wrought and self-sustained gifts.
In the second place, he has liberty
and freedom. In the third place, he
can be himself at all times and in all
places. He can work when he feels
like working, loaf when he feels like
loafing, sleep when he feels like
sleeping. / believe that if any man
stands chance for happiness on this
earth, it is the plowman-landowner,
who has the choicest position at the
post. Even though capitalism has
afforded higher level of living than
is possible for any other system, ]
know that those who have their saw
ings in anything other than land have
a greater sense of insecurity thar
those who own good land that is paid
for.
