• •••that others may have life •••and have it more abundantly. ••• 



EACH SPRING HE PLOWS AND HARROWS HIS 

 ground, plants the seed, cultivates, and if Nature smiles, 

 harvests a crop. Through good times and bad, drought, 

 floods, low prices, insect and disease damage, the farmer 

 carries on . . . producing . . . producing. 



THERE IS NO SCARCITY ECONOMICS ON 



the farm. During years of closed factories and industrial un- 

 employment, farm production went on at a hig|h rate despite 

 ruinously low price levels. 



WHEN INDUSTRY STUBBORNLY CHOSE 



idleness in preference to a sharp reduction in industrial price 



levels . . . when labor unions chose relief in preference to a 

 lower wage that employers could afford, the farmer took 

 his loss and went on producing plenty for all. Through 1932 

 and 1933, when farm prices reached record low levels, and 

 in 1937 and 1938, production of farm crops mounted to 

 new highs. ■..■.:?'■•; ^' ., | 



ORGANIZED FARMERS TODAY ARE CHAL- 



lenging industry and labor to gp back to work ... to follow 

 the example of agriculture. More production, more employ- 

 ment, more good things for everyone are needed. Farmers 

 have shown their good faith by producing plenty . . . that 

 others may have life . . . and have it more abundantly.
