corn with greater success than the Argentine. Our 
cattle are better. With abundant alfalfa all over 
our land we will be able to more than hold our own 
against this competition. 
That is the dream of the writer, that he may has- 
ten the day when alfalfa meadows will be common 
in nearly every township in the United States, mows 
filled with alfalfa hay, stacks standing in the fields, 
yards and corrals filled with good cattle, abundant 
supplies of manure made available, fields becoming 
richer rather than poorer, and country people hav- 
ing wherewithal to live as country people ought to 
live, in comfort, sending their sons to agricultural 
colleges and their daughters as well, both to come 
back to the farms and there continue the labor of 
soil-building, field-beautifying and home-making.
