FARMS REAL FIRST DEFENSE
A well-plowed furrow and the
things that eventually come from
it create any nation's REAL first
line of defense. Such a barrier is
the greatest obstacle to an enemy.
Recent photo-
England have
planes from
landing troops. Kyes
But I do not
mean that when referring to
"well-plowed furrows." I refer to
the food that comes from farm
fields.
Armies may take the field; dip
lomats—the rostrum. Staff offi
cers burn the midnight oil, poring
over plans for attack or strategic
retreat; armament plants go on
24-hour schedules. But food and
food alone is the basis for any
defense. Without it, planes, siege
guns, high explosive shells, and
other instruments of destruction
are useless. And, since farms
supply our food needs, plow
shares, not bombs, will decide the
issues.
The strength of any nation is
its ability to deal advantageously
with the victors in any conflict.
History Indicates that no matter
who accepts the sword of sur
render, famine is the eventual
winner. America's future as a
world power lies not only with its
basic wealth that finds its origin
in the soil to finance the mate
rials of warfare. In addition to
this, this nation's future lies in
its ability to open its stores of
food and again become the na
tion to which the world turns for
subsistence.
When the heat of battle sub
sides, starving persons turn to the
man or power who can supply
them food. And the nation pos
sessing that food becomes more
powerful in determining future
political paths than all the mili
taristic powers on earth. The
success of any national political
plan of life is directly dependent
upon what that ideology can give
the governed. No group of peo
ple with empty stomachs have
ever been successfully ruled. The
statement that "an army marches
on its stomach" applies equally
to people outside the military
arms of defense. Briefly, there is
a direct relationship between the
economic and political problems
of the world.
There is neither army nor navy
large enough nor strong enough
to whip the world, but you can
build an agricultural structure
sufficiently powerful to dominate
the world. The real power of a
nation depends upon its food plus
wealth created from the land.
But food is the basic element in
any economy. Without it every
thing else would become and re
main impotent.
During its lifetime, America has
derived a majority of its leader
ship from men and women whose
background is that of small towns
and farms. They learned their
lessons of the sounder things of
life from the land—ON THE
LAND. American clear thinking,
soundness of judgment, and re
sourcefulness have come largely
from persons who have grown up
with those essentials at the very
seat of fundamentals which is in
the rural communities of this
nation.
The one outstanding difference
between America and other na
tions of the world is the indivi
dualism found in this democracy.
Vitality and initiative have mark
ed America's forward progress.
Those characteristics have stem
med from the land; from the
rugged independence that has
flowed from a rural background.
Compare it if you like to an ar
tesian well: the deeper it is, the
better in qualities of taste and
coolness.
The high morale of our nation
springs from long generations of
men and women who have con
sistently battled the vicissitudes
of nature to create the wealth of
this nation. And its food is this
nation's greatest wealth.
