Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 26.—Declar
ing that many farmers of the present
day have more faith in mocn signs
than in agricultural colleges and ex
periment stations; more faith in ordi
nary politicians than in college pro
fessors and scientists, more faith in
yellow Journals than in the best agri
cultural papers, and that the nine
teenth century farmer was no farm
er at all, but a robber of the soil,
Henry Wallace, president of the
third National Conservation Con-
grecs, delivered an address before
that body today, strongly urging
•cientiflc farming as the only means
by which the cost of living can be
reduced. In part Mr. Wallace said:
‘‘It will be my object in this ad-
dr«6s not to discuss any phase of the
conservation movement exhaustively,
but to outline briefly two drifts of
population. The drift from the farm
to the city, and the drift from the city
toward the land and the work of this
congress as'related thereto.
“Even before the daily press had
begun the crusade ‘back to the land,’
th^ movement toward the land had al-
t
ready begun.
“The land hunger is not peculiar to
any class of people nor to any state.
The merchant, the banker, the rail
road official or New York and Bos
ton. each longs for a farm, possibly
only as a summer home, but is will
ing to pay for it in investment, in
improvements and cost of manage
ment, more than it is worth in dol
lars or ever will be. He, too, is bit
ten with land Hunger. Many small
business men of our cities, who can
not hope to secure a farm and live on
it, invest greedily in acreage in the
suburbs. The workman in the fac-
this constant influx of population
from the farms these towns, as the
late census reveals, have barely held
their own and often have lost in pop
ulation, the natural increase of the
towns themselves pouring into the
larger towns and cities, in which the
majority live with less comfort than
the farmers who remain on the
farms. Vast numbers of boys and girls
fall a prey to alluring vices of the
city, and many of them eventually
take their places with the “down and
out.’ Comparatively few succeed and
become well-to-do. The children of
these few become wealthy; their
tory aims to secure two or three grandchildren usually spend gaily the
acres on which he can build himself | fortunes they never earned; and na-
a. home. | turally the family dies out, at least

country life in the country, they are

You know one always feels “very

sense of power that is unmistakable.
But when overwork or anxiety
breaks down the soft gray matter in

will do It quicker than overwork) fast
er than the food you have been using
replaces it, then to save yourself from

That’s the mission of Grape-Nuts,
made of the selected parts of Ttrheat
and barley containing the" natural
Phosphate of Potash which combines
with Albumen in the human body and
makes the soft gray filling of the brain
and nerve centers.
Another thing to be considered is
that Grape-Nutff is “po*aesaed” in

into a form of sugar, exactly as the

Grape-Nuts ha» really passed the first
act of digestion and therefore the food

“The organisation ^ of labor follow-^
ed logically the organization of cal?!''
tal, and gave us one of the greate)it
and most difficult of modem prc^
lems, that of the labor unions.
In the factory we no longer aim
to supply local demands, but state. ^
interstate, national and even inter-
national. For this there must be^
transportation and therefore we have
a railroad probliem closely intertwin
ed with the labor problem, intimat€=^
ly conected with the whole process
of manufacturing and distributidn.[
The products of these great factories
must be used by consumers living
at long distances. Hence we have
the problem of distribution, or the
problem of the middleman, and ^ ail
the direct results of the ^ application
of science to industry. Since the
world began the like has never beto
seen before. ■
“With corn at from 20 to 25 cents,
wheat 50 cents, oats 15 cents, the
manufacturer could afford to pay
higher wages than the farmer and
give shorter hours. The city could
furnish pavea streets, lights, amus^
meints, society—the joy of living. Is it
any wonder that the .farm boys and
girls fled to the. cities? The* farm
itself finally began to use* improved
machinery. The farmer used more
horses, better tools, and grew more
crops witli less than half the labor.
All this was natural, logical, inevita
ble. The older farming sections do
not have so dense a population as of
old simply because they do not need
it as when farming under old condi
tions. They could not use it with prof
it when they had to compete with
town wages and town hours.
“What then followed? Inevitably,
soil impoverishment. The nineteenth
century farmer was, speaking gener
ally, no farmer at all but a mii\er,
a soil robber. The nineteenth cen
tury farmers sold the stored fertility
of ages at the bare cost of mining
it.* With his gang plow and four to
eight section harrow he could do
more soil robbing in five years than
his grandfather could in a w'hole life
time.
“We are now nearing a pci^t where
we will need practicallr ?ii our
grains to provide for the wants oi
^ur own population. Our export of
corn is merely a dribble; in our last
ceiisus year, 100 million bushels less
than the average ten years before.
Our exports of meats and dairy pro
ducts have shrunk in ten years over
15 per cent. We sent abroad last
year only about one-third the num*
ber of cattle we sent ten years a,go.
There is not the slightest indica
tion that this decline will be checked.
If checked at all, it will be but tem
porarily, due to an industrial crisis.
Were it not for the over 500 million
dollars worth of cotton that we send
abroad each year, the country would
be drained of its precious metals to
settle our foreign ohligations, and we
would be on the verge of *^tional
bankruptcy. Lands in England that
have been farmed for more than a
thousand years produce more tnan
twice as much wheat per acre ^
average as we do in the naturally
better lands of the Mississippi val
ley. This demonstrates the
enoe between fanning,-and merely
mining the soil fertility. ,.
'This condition., has .
hastened t)y our statesmen. The gUt
of an empire of land to railroads t
enable them to furnish speedy and
cheap transportation for a^vast cp -
tinent, together^ with the
law. so excessively stimulated agrr
cultural production that
was often, and In fact generally until
about twelve years ago, force^to
sell his products at and often under
the cost of production. .This gave t^®
world cheaper food thaa it will ev^
see again, and made-
wonderful growth of great cities the
world over. ,
“The anxiety of the farmer to-find
H home market instead of having his
prices fixed In a foreign market^ uji-
der competition led to
ance of the system of high tariffs
after the reason for, it had _ ceased
to "exist, 4Jius wonderfully stimulat

land, cities which with all our boast
ed ability we have never been a,ole
to govern decently. When this undue
stimulus Is removed, as it will and
must be sooner or la«ter, our manufac
turers will have to taKe the same
medicine which sickened the farm-
era in the 70’s, 80’s and early 9^s. ^
