To Ihe Editor of The Journal: The strength of a nation tie in in agricultural claw. When this class becomes, through continued oppres sion, unable to support the weight of the structure of civilitation that must rest uHn it. then (let-ay and disintegration sets in, and the days of the country's institutions are num bered. Recent observations of the writer, on a small area of the state's domain have aroused some thought alone the line above suKftested, end. if any very great ortion of the nation's "muJ fill" is showing the same degree of weakness, is has been suggested to ns. during the past few weeks, then there is more to be done in this coun try during the next few years, than scramble for "pie" at a party pie counter. To-be-sure there are still a great many ideal homes in the country dis tricts. and there are yet a few of the old fashioned citizens who re mind one of a former dav. Hut these ate becoming distressingly scarce, and the other kind are becoming alarm inslv numerous. and hen we view the neglected area of the various sections and see the devastation that alien ownership and sorry t nancy has ! wrought w ith the lands, we are made to feel that the days of feasting on the surplus products brought forth from the store house of nature, is about over, for there will not only be no surplus, there will be less pro duce than the cost of cultivation will demand and the loss will have to be borne by someone, with this thought in mind. We are wondering how much deeper the foundation the ag ricultural industry--can be eaten into before there is collapse? No build ing will stand longer than the foun dation on which it res's will support. Every one knows that rn.v mate rials are the first requiM'e in indus trial progress, ami with the-e facts be lore us it i auiai is h-w grea ait elloil being made to te.ii-li i:g neuliiiie how to catty a greater load, while not one little finger i. being lit It 1 t.i reluo" .un of the burden. Why is it that n:r wise economists ocii-io! altogeih -r the fact that pre vention is easier and less ri.-Uy than cute? We know this about some things, why not see its powerful effect on the most important things? We world consider a man who would speed up liis car in an attempt to siaii a precipice, that had never been spanned, but was lined on the bottom w ith the carcasses, and vreck a ge of every one who had made the attempt, a fool; yet we ate doing vir tually that very Tool thing, when we try to bridge over the chasm of a wrecked agriculture: by doping the industry with false hopes, while nr the same time we pile .: renter bur dens upon It, and insist on Its carry ing us over, by Increasing Its speed. We learn from history that the downfall of every civilization began with the deterioration of agriculture. W hen agriculture begins to chare un der its bi'tdcn, then evidences of de cay sets in, and the chances of con tinuing intact begin to diminish. In the Tutted States, agriculture has been discriminated against until the reaction Is setthij in; ami If the pendulum of retaliation should swlns to an equal distance from the center in the opposite direction to that i' has reached on Its present swing, there would be only a miserable rec ollection of a once proud nation, 'among the few survivors who would be left. Agents of financial, com mercial, and manufacturing interests have dominated government r.ni? made and executed laws In the In terest of those Industries, at the ex pense of agriculture, until agriculture is milked dry. and Is pot in a con dition to come fresh unytltiie soon, so what are we going fo do about it ?

Lincoln's Birth day, nuil Other Historial Occasions. To The Editor of The Journal: This is a wonderful month. To begin w-lih there Is ground hog day on the second. It serves as a weath er prognosticator to the farmers throughout the United States. On the 9th we celebrate the birthday of W. H. Harrison; on the twelth. Lin coln's birthday; on the twenty-second, Washington's birthday; all three or whom were presidents of our country. A. N. Stephens, the only vice-president of the Confederacy, was born on the eleventh; and Longfellow, America's greatest poet, was born on the 27th. St. Valentine's day, which occurs on the rourteenth, makes the young people happy, and gives the fair sex an opportunity to woo and win in rupid's game of hearts. February Is the only month In which the moon cannot appear new, quarter, or full twice as it 'can in the other months. Delug in the middle of the winter. It generally hands out cold weather. February has five Sundays every twenty-eight years except when there ire eight years from one leap year, as in 1900. If one is born on the twenty ninth of February he may go to school before his second birthday arrives. The years 1852. 1880 and 1920 had five Sundays In February, and this will not happen again until the year 1948. Is there another month that ran equal It? Excelsior, Mineral Springs, R. F. D.
