Once More, The Soil.
Xhe first command - ever given
, God to man wav before man
ppearedupon the earth and had
Reference to the soil.
When it pleased him in the
of creation, to separate
jhe water from the dry land, he
laid; Kow let the dry land
bring forth "grass" Why did
god so command? Because God
knew it would be best for man
w do so. God knew that grass
from its very nature would
pow without labor, and would
told the earth from washing and
produce feed for other animals
cheaper and with less labor than
any other crop that could be cul
tivated. Now lets analyze what
followed in " Adam's family as
they proceeded. Let us try to
realize that human nature is the
same today as in the beginning.
Adam had two sons the first
round, Cain and Able. . Cain pro
ceeded to grow vegetables, corn,
wheat, cotton etc. He of course
returned nothing to the soil and
after while just as it does now
his crops begaii to fall short.
On the other hand Abel did what
the Lord commanded. He let
the Lord bring forth grass and
like Abraham did in the 13th.
chapter of Genesis put some nice
cattle to grasing on the grass
and it put silver arid- gold into
Mspocket. Then what happened
Cain had exhausted his soil and
nrhen the Lord called upon them
for a sacrifice. Cain had noth
ing: acceptable to offer and
through 'malice and his own
bad management and envy slew
his brother. Why all this;
Simply because Abel obeyed the
Lord and received the blessing.
He let the crass crow, he
put the cattle, sheep and
poultry to grazing it and returned
the manure to his sod crop which
in turn gave more feed to feed
more cattle to sell tor more
money which made him rich.
Now this is the very first lesson
in the history of the human
family of successful farming,
and grass and sheep and cattle
did the work.

Versa, poor soil poor people.
Now if this be true 'we should
lnvestigate and hunt for the

the cause. And vou will not
far until you will find that in
a country where the farmers
owand sell cultivated crops,
you will see bare lands, lands
washing away, lands growing

year. And where you see the

the people growing poorer along

ates a demand for the article or
articles he make. If he expects
to hold the market resulting
from that demand he must' make
a worthy product. The volume
of his production built up by the

the manufacturer and the retailer
