Try me and see. .I t M an a Land Animal (iy nmnkT iiuiihako) The dictum of Henry George fiat man is a land animal has never been denied, excepting by a man in Matteawan. Man cannot live long when separated from land. We get our sustenance out of the ground, and we are well and happy only when we are on good terms with Mother Earth. One-half of our population are farmers. And the farmer is no longer a joke. It is a fine thing to see a farmer crank up his automobile and go to town and collect his rents. In the west the farmers are the capitalists. And the farmers have always supplied most of the brain and sinew for the cities. Land of America, however, has been like the forests. We have had so much of both that we have been wasteful, extravagant and slipshod. The National Soil Fertility League, made up of strong and earnest men, who are working without any aim for im mediate personal profit, are show ing the world how to double soil production. Around East Aurora there are men who raise one hundred bush els of potatoes to the acre. Then right alongside of these are farm ers who raise two hundred and fifty or three hundred bushels to the acre. The difference in yield is not a difference in soil, sun shine and water. It is simply a difference in the brain of the farmer. The cry of "Back to the land!" is a swelling chorus. I suppose that good roads have a deal to do with this not to mention autos, trolly cars, bicycles, motorcycles and cheap commutation tickets. Men are living longer and liv ing better now than ever before. The chief reason of this is that we are getting on friendly terms with Nature. We are a part of Nature; in fact, we are Nature, and the more we move with Nature, love Nature and under stand Nature, the saner, more efficient and the healthier and happier are we. The great land show, which is to be held at Madison Square Garden, November 3 to 12, is the most important happening that will take place in New York dur ing the year. Especially important and valu able will be the lesson taught to the school children; and it is good to see that arrangements are be ing made by the public school teachers so that every school in New York City and immediate vicinity will go in a body and see the wonderful things that are produced right out of the ground. No exhibition like it, or equal to it, has ever been held in New York City. Children who see this show will never forget it. The apples, pears, peaches, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, wheat, corn, oats, potatoes, melons and vege tables and fruits of thousands of varities will be shown, growing and ready for market. There will be lectures and stereopticon and moving pictures showing modern farming meth ods. The state of Washington will ship three carloads of apples to be given away to the young sters on "Big Red Apple Day," and Oregon and Colorado say they will not be outdone. Also, best of all, reliable infor mation will be given as to the value of land, and the opportuni ties for settlement all over the continent. Canada will be on hand to show us the wonders of Winnipeg, Al berta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia; and it is a curious thing that lots of Gothamites do not know that Canada is on the map. Mexico will also be represent ed. It is to be a North Ameri can exhibition, devoted to the land and the miracles that it pro duces, with the aid of sunshine, water, air and the intelligent manipulation of the earth by head, hand and heart. Especially timely is this ex position in view of the fact that the study of agriculture is now being introduced in many of our public schools. School gardens are surely coming everywhere; and the study of the soil and work on the land is making the school a delight for thousands of children where before the lessons out of musty books were drud gery. Bad boys running a garden are good boys, the idle boy like the idle man is a rascal. God meant that we must earn our living. On our Roycroft School Farm we have found that city boys make the best farmers. The country boy gets . too big a dose of hard work and is inclined to get away to town, where there are more noisy doings; but the city boy looks upon the land with a romantic eye and takes to gar dening, farming and the care of livestock most kindly. Thus we get a rotation of human crops And at the last, the hnest crop that this country is producing are our boys and girls. It is hard to teach the grown ups, but the youngsters are go ing to get a tremendous amount of fun and profit out of the New York land show.
