 FALL, 1933 



TO THE MAN BEHIND THE PLOW 



The civilization of today is facing a crisis. The tremendous 

 overhead in carrying on the various i3ranches of industrial activi- 

 ties has become so heavy that every vocation is staggering under 

 the load it has created. 



This is not the first period of hard times that this country has 

 experienced. Each time by slow process, recovery has come. 

 The class that is the safest is the class that produces its own food. 

 The Man Behind the Plow can grow the wherewithal to feed 

 himself and family, he has first chance and first choice of the 

 products of the soil which the teeming miUions of the earth are 

 fed. In those parts of the country where farming is diversified, 

 the farmer is independent and self-dependent. Crops should be 

 planted for self-protection. 



Let us hope that we shall soon see the heralds of a brighter day 

 looking on the horizon. Let us work to that end with a steadfast 

 determination to rely upon the first great vocation of the human 

 family.
