THE LOST TRAIL
(Annabelle Dennison MacConnell)
Once in a glad free springtime
I dwelt In a valley fair;
Where winds swept free and the sun
shone gold
And wondrous flowers blossomed
there!
Taking life’s joys for granted
I left youth’s valley fair
And turned to the far-off highlands
And all that lay hidden there.
So on a day when fate called me
1 left my valley fair
Nor never once looked back to see
The treasures forsaken thert!
I wandered to the highlands,
Explored their greatest heights;
I found beyond fair cities
Ablaze with gleaming lighfs.
I realize desire fulfilled,
Tasted success and fame;
Then I woke to understand
One pays to write one’s name!
For I've looked and searched in vain
To re-enter my valley; it seems
The road is closed forever
And I have only dreams!
Yet sometimes I feel most sure
That I’ll find that trail once more
Which leads to the goldoa valley •*
Where wild-flowers bloom galore!
“If the Farmer Quits the Machinery of
Huidan Endeavor Will Cease”
By P. C. HOLDEN
Agriculture is and must be the greatest factor in reconstruction.
This is no time for little things. We need a chamber of agriculture that
is big enough and broad enough to realize the importance of creating such
conditions in the country that our best and brightest and brainiest people
will be attracted to the farm, for the reason that the activities of the city
are measured by the productive power of these farms.
We must not forget that agriculture calls for our best thought and
our best effort. We must remember that farming is the biggest, the most
important job on earth, because every other man’s job depends upon the
job of the farmer. If the farmer quits the merchant will have to quit,
the manufacturer will have to quit, the railroad man will have to quit,
the laboring man will have to quit. The whole machinery of human
endeavor and human government will cease—even life itself. The, most
important thing on earth is a human being; the next most important
thing is that which makes it possible for that human being to exist—the
production of food.
Two great armies won the war—the army that served on the battle
field and the army that served in the harvest field. The latter army was
mobilized within twenty-foVir hours after the declaration^ war. As it
was the first army to rally to the defense of the flag, so it will be the
last army to cease fighting for world freedom. While the army of the
battlefield is being demobilized the army of the farm is facing the tre
mendous task of furnishing 60 per cent of the world’s food during the
coming years.
