The Outlook 



forward. Most certainly " United we stand, 

 divided we fall," there is no doubt about that. 

 All depends on the success of our attempts at 

 organization, and every farmer should do his 

 utmost for the Farmers' Union; not so much for 

 his own sake as that of his children. They will 

 reap the harvest of our endeavours. If we struggle 

 on in the bad old way, scattered, helpless, and 

 selfish, the prospect would be poor. It is the 

 faith one has in our better sense that gives ulti- 

 mate hopes. Union is the standard to which 

 we must rally, for the next decade will decide 

 much. Before that is over there will be a revolution 

 in our fiscal arrangements, and the fate of agri- 

 culture will be fixed for a generation. If farmers 

 work for the common good, one can foresee a 

 better state of affairs, and our vision of the future 

 will be correspondingly optimistic. 



With a motor service at his door, a telephone, 

 and a balance at his Co-operative bank, Farmer 

 Bull of the Twentieth Century would be a wide- 

 awake proposition, an enterprising, business man, 

 a pride to himself, and a boon to his country. 

 As the Spaniards say, " God grant it."
