His words were prophetic Of the
research conducted today by plant

soil scientists at state agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.

Reaper Coming into Use.
The early 1905 had witnessed the
introduction of the reaper but its
use was not universal when the
Civil war broke out. Farmers had
been using the steel pillow for about
Is years. The modern fertilizer in
dustry was not established until
1850, after scientific experiments In
Europe had demonstrated the value
of plant feeding. By 1860 production
had reached only 10000 tons. Last
years farmers used more than
10000, 900 tons.
Food production was just as i'm
portant in the Civil war as in
World Wars l and II. Lincoln and
his advisers sought measures both
near and long range that would
strengthen the position of agricul-
ture. The administra threw its
weight behind three major bills and
within year they had become the
law of the land. They were: the act
establishing the U. S. department
of agriculture; the land grant col
lege act to which the nations farm
ers today owe the existence Of the
far-fung system of agricultural col
leges in every state OF the union,
and the homestead act.
Lincoln had advocated the estab-
lishment of department of agricul-
ture in his first message to con-
gress, in December, 1861. Then he
had said:
Agriculture, confessedly the larg-
est interest of the nation, has not a
department nor a bureau, but a
clerkship only. While it is important
that this great interest is so indie
pendent in its nature as not to have
demanded or extorted more from the
government, I respectfully ask con-
gress to consider whether something
more cannot voluntarily be given
with general advantage"
BY the time he delivered his Sec
ond annual message, the depart
ment had been created and Lincoln
was able to report:

Great President
Always Remained
A Farmer at Heart


Abraham Lincoln sat at his
desk studying a document a
clerk had laid before him. Now
and then he would raise his eyes
to glance out the window at a
blue clad sentry pacing the
White House lawn.
Soon he finished reading, took
off his steel-bowed spectacles,
reached for a pen and signed his
name to the last page.
The paper he signed that May day
In 1852 was not an army-shifting or
der that would change the tide OF
battles, but nevertheless Its effects
have been felt in war and peace in
the three-quarters of century that
have followed. The document was
an "Act to Establish the United
States department of agriculture"
Thus in the agony of the Civil war
was born an organization which to-
day serves six million of the ma
tons farms.
Americans remember Lincoln
best as the Great Emancipator
whose principles have stirred men
the world over. Few citizens, per-
haps, realize the profound effect
Lincoln and his administration had
on the agriculture of the United
States. For not only did he foster
the act establishing the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, but he pro-
NOTED other legislation that gave
farming an impetus that has speed
ed it's development to this day.
Lincoln was farm bred. He new
er lost the feel of the earth. All his
life he was a close student of agri-
culture. He knew it's needs and the
possibilities of its advancement as
few presidents have before or since.
The story of Lincoln's boyhood on
the farm is an American classic.
His early days were spent on a 30
acre tract near Knob creek about
10 miles from his birthplace at
Hodgenville, Ky.
Moved to Indiana.
When Abe was seven years old,
the family moved across the Ohio
river into southern Indiana. Tragedy
was to come early into the young
boys life for it was here that his
mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln,
died. The Lincolns had established
themselves on a knoll surrounded
by low-lying, marshy fields. Abe had
water.
Thomas Lincoln had taken an OPP
ton on 100 acres of land at two
dollars an acre. He completed pay
ments on about half of that total,
varying his farming activities with
hunting and occasional jobs of car
pentry. Seven years after the family
had arrived in Indiana, the farms
cultivated area totaled only II
acres.
The Lincoln family moved to ILL
nois in 1880, taking up land along
the Sangamon river in Macon coun-
ty. Soon after arriving, Abe reached
his 21st birthday. That meant free
dom from his fathers yoke. So he
babe farewell to his family and
moved on to New Salem.
Student of Agriculture.
AS successful lawyer riding the
Illinois circuit and visiting neigh
boring states occasionally to try
cases Lincoln was n close student
of agriculture. He was often invited
to speak before farmers meetings.
One of the most notable instances
historians record of his appear
ances before farm groups came in
1859 = a year before he was elected
President = when he was invited to
address the agricultural fair held
by the Wisconsin State Agricultural
society at Milwaukee.
On that occasion he said:

benefits. Farmers everywhere are
assisted by county agents in inn
proving their tillage methods, test
ing their soil to determine plant food
needs, so as to increase the output
and quality of their crops.
The land grant college act or the
Morrill, act, signed by President
Lincoln on July 2, 1862, marked a
milestone in the development of sci
entific agriculture. The act gave to
each state as many times 10000
acres of public land as it had sena-
tors and representatives - this land
to provide funds for the establish
ment and support of "a college
of agriculture and mechanical
arts"

leges which Lincoln's administra-
ton helped to create are one of the
farmers greatest allies" said a
statement of the Middle West soil

DDS.
Practical Training.
'These colleges equip young
men to apply their training to prac-
teal farm work. Here and in the
agricultural experiment stations,
agronomists are carrying on tests
with crops, soils and fertilizers.
The benefit Of this information is
available to sny farmer seeking adj
vice in applying nitrogen, phosphor-
us and potash to his land for profit
able crop production.
The third great agricultural
measure which marked Lincoln's
contribution to the future Of Ameri-
can farming was the homestead
act which he signed May 20, 1862.
Since the day this act became OPP
erative approximately $50 million
acres Of public domain have been
thrown open to farm ownership.
The effect Of the homestead act
in promoting farm production dur
ing and after the Civil war was ire
mendous.
BY its provisions, 100 acres Of
land was given free to every set
tier who would live on it for five
years. Landseekers rushed to take
advantage of the offer. Before the
war ended rs million acres were al
located-or an average of IS thou
sand farms of 100 acres each.
Railroad lines were extended to
link the western farm lands with
the markets Of the east. The food
these new farms produced helped
supply the union armies, and COM
bined with the agricultural output
OF the east, built up surplus that
found a profitable market in Europe.
Following the Civil war the home
stead act was instrumental in build
ing up the farming empire west Of
the Mississippi which became the
land OF opportunity for the veterans
of that war.
AS America halls the 18th ami
versary of Lincoln's birth, agricul-
ture acknowledges its debt to him.
The progress farming had made in
the past 30 years would never have
been possible without his help.
