AMERICAN FARMER MUST WORK TO KEEP WORLD FROM STARVING
(San Francisco Examiner)
1‘cnec will bring no holiday to the American farmer. He will still
have the world to feed for many years yet. Already it is certain that the
United States must provision the shattered Herman and Austrian empires if a
terrible famine in those countries is to he averted. Neither England nor
Franco, will ho aide to reorganize their demoralized agricultural industries for
; t least two or three years. Russia is already a land of famine and it may
be years before the peasantry of that unhappy country will ho able to work
their lands. The smaller neutral nations, like Holland, Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, are short of food. Bulgaria and Serbia are war torn and
helpless in the face of famine.
It is to the. great granaries of America that the hungry people of Europe
must look for food to keep them from actual starvation. Fortunately, this
country has broad acres and willing workers. But even the enormous agri
cultural resources of this land will he taxed to their limit to supply the food
the world will need.
Agriculture thus will be lifted to the plane of a great national endeavor.
It will he compelled to call upon the services of the dollar a year men—men
capable of handling large problems and of obtaining quick results. The bus
iness of producing food enough for all the world must be taken up as a great,
vital, financial and economic issue.
Labor saving farm machinery must he utilized to an extent never considered
necessary heretofore. Tractors must he employed to replace horses, big motor
trucks will be necessary to meet the problems of delivery.
Lands now lying idle must be brought under cultivation. Arid areas,
capable of irrigation must be supplied with water. The aid of the Hovernment
may become necessary to carry out large agricultural projects.
All of which means a tremendous demand upon the man and money
power of the nation. All of these facts will contribute to the prosperity of
the people of the* nation. There is no reason for distrust of the future in the
United States. Peace has brought serious' problems, but it has brought the
certainty of prosperity, and prosperity does more to make a solution of prob
lems easy than all the theories in the world.

“IN FLANDERS FIELDS” *
4 - 4
4 Shortly before his death in January, 191S, Lieutenant Colonel 4
4 John McCrea, of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, wrote the poem, 4
4 “In Flanders Fields." This poem has. perhaps, been more widely 4
4 copied than any other which the war has produced and is universally 4
4 regarded as the greatest poem of the war. Mr. C. B. Galbreath, State 4
4 Librarian of Ohio, Columbus. Ohio, was inspired*to write an answer, 4
4 which has also had a wide circulation and which has been very popular 4
4 On November 20th., Attorney J. P. Heed, of Emmett, Idaho, wrote a 4
4 still later answer. 4
4 The three poems are printed below and are worthy of receiving 4
4 attention and study in every school room of Alaska. The sentiment 4
4 expressed is democracy’s answer to the boasts of the autocracy; 4
4 humanity’s answer to inhumanity;, civilization’s answer to kultur; 4
4 order’s answer to rapine, lust and murder. 4
