GEAIlSr-SOEGHUM EXPERIMENTS IN THE PANHANDLE OP TEXAS. 91 



" But I ought to say to you that it is not only necessary that these achievements 

 should be repeated, but that they should be exceeded. I know what this advice 

 involves. It involves not only labor, but sacrifice, the painstaking application of 

 every bit of scientific knowledge and every tested practice that is available. It 

 means the utmost economy, even to the point where the pinch comes. It means 

 the kind of concentration and self-sacrifice which is involved in the field of battle 

 itself, where the object always looms gi'eater than the individual. And yet the 

 Government will help and help in every way that is possible. 



" It was fanners from whom came the first shots at Lexington, that set aflame the 

 Revolution that made America free. I hope and believe that the farmers of America 

 will willingly and conspicuously stand by to win this war also. The toil, the intelli- 

 gence, the energy, the foresight, the self-sacrifice, and devotion of the farmers of' 

 America will, I believe, bring to a triiunphant conclusion this great last war for the 

 emancipation of men from the control of arbitrary government and the selfishness 

 of class legislation and control, and then, when the end has come, we may look each 

 other in the face and be glad that we are Americans and have had the privilege to 

 play such a part. ' '
