HENRY W. ^WOLFF, 



author op " people's banks : a record of social and economic 



success"; "co-operation in agriculture"; "the future 



of our agriculture," and other works. 



"Our Civilisation rests at bottom on the wholesomeness, the at- 

 tractiveness, and the completeness, as well as the prosperity of life in 

 the country. Upon the development of country life rests ultimately 

 our ability to feed and clothe the hungry nations, to supply the city 

 with fresh blood, clean bodies and clear brains, that can endure the 

 terrific strain of modern life. We need the development of men in 

 the open country, who will be in the future, as in the past, the stay 

 and strength of the Nation." 



President Roosevelt in his " Special Message" o/1909.
