But leok--ri aL.ead, wliaf position do we expect Agricul- 

 ture will occupy after trie war is over ? Shall we again see 

 a period of dismal agricultural depression, or shall we deter- 

 mine to establish a system which will successfully weather 

 the storms of a world competition in the coming years ? 



It will be a thousand pities if we do not at the present 

 time look much further ahead than mere emergency 

 methods so as to bring stability to such a basal industry as 

 Agriculture as well as security to the Food Supply of the 

 Nation in the future.
