Politics for Farmers 



empty epithets of unthinking people. If we can 

 achieve our ends, if we can become a power in 

 the State, the Government in being will deal 

 intelligently with agriculture to our exceeding 

 benefit, and that of the nation. The lot of the 

 English farmer might be much happier than at 

 present. I have outlined in another chapter what 

 might be done by State Aid but only the fringe 

 of the sub j eel is touched. Every farmer must 

 realize this, here and now. The time has come 

 for us to throw off the old attitude of helpless 

 complaining of fate. We must take matters into 

 our own hands. The future lies in our exertions.
