14 THE AGRICULTURAL BLOC 



000; barley $12,000,000, or in all on these 

 crops $717,000,000. This money would mean 

 a clear profit to the American farmer which 

 he would have to spend in trade, building 

 roads, churches, schools and beautifying 

 our great and glorious country. This sum 

 would mean at least three billions of dollars 

 of internal trade for our own people more 

 than they get at present. Our cities are at 

 present to a very great extent being built 

 at the expense of the country. Then our 

 cities would grow indescribably beautiful 

 as the cause of natural wealth flowing from 

 the country into them.
