"After all has been said and done, it is the food grower that 

 comes inevitably to the front at this moment. He is the man behind 

 the forces of war, and nothing can move very far without his co-opera- 

 tion and labour. You may appropriate millions of money to Aero- 

 planes, Artillery, Dreadnoughts, and Zeppelins, but those millions 

 are little better than useless if your food supplies come to a sudden 

 or a premature end. So, let us smallholders realise our importance 

 in the scheme of things." The Smallholder.
