A SLUDY OF HEART-ROT IN WESTERN HEMLOCK. 39 
1,000,000 larger than for any preceding year, 3,000,000 greater than the next largest, 
and 7,000,000 greater than the preceding five-year average. 
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 greater than the individual. And yet the 
- Government will help and help in every way that is possible. 
It was farmers 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 
intelligence, the energy, the foresight, the self-sacrifice, and devotion of the farmers 
of America will, I believe, bring to a triumphant 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. .
