IF THE GRASS SHOULD PERISH
FAMINE WOULD DEPOPULATE WORLD
By F. F. WEHMEYER
As our gaze wanders about it
shows that the hills and dells are
turning that beautiful emerald shade
that verifies the calendar's state
ment that this week marks the be
ginning of spring. We brag boast
fully of our industries but few peo
ple remember that we are still a pas
toral people and that the larger half
of our own United States is given to
the pasturage of livestock. The
meaning of grass will never be so
eloquently, beautifully and com
pletely covered as by a former con
gressman from Kansas, John J. In
galls: "Next in importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air,
those three physical facts that render
existence possible, may be reckoned
the universal beneficenct of grass.
Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
those minute tenants of a mimic wil
derness, our earliest recollections are
of grass, and when the fitful fever
is ended, and the foolish wrangle of
the market and the forum is closed,
grass heals over the scar which our
descent .into the bosom of the earth
has made, and the carpet of the in
fant becomes the blanket of the dead.
"Grass is the forgiveness of na
ture her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, satur
employed at the Oasis left for her
home in Freewater for a short visit.
Mr. and Mrs. Adams of Athena

Oregon
ated with blood, torn with the ruts
of cannon, grow green again with
grass, and carnage, is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic be
come grass grown, like rural lanes
and are obliterated. Forests decay,
harvests perish, flowers vanish, but
grass is immortal. Beleagured by the
sullen hosts of winter it withdraws
into the impregnable fortress of its
subterranean vitality and emerges
upon the solicitation of spring. Sown
by winds and by wandering birds,
propagated by the subtle horticul
ture of the elements which are its
ministers and servants, it softens
the crude outlines of the world. It in
vades the solitude of deserts, climbs
the inaccessible slopes and pinnacles
of the mountains and modifies the
history, character and destiny of
nations. Unobstrusive and patient,
it has immortal vigor and aggression.
Banished from the thoroughfares and
fields, it bides its time to return and
when the vigilance is relaxed or the
dynasty has perished it silently re
sumes the throne from which it has
been expelled but which it never
abdicates. It bears no blazonry of
bloom to charm the. senses with
fragrance or splendor, but its home
ly hue is more enchanting than the
lily or the rose. It yields no fruit in
earth or air, yet should its harvest
fail for a single year famine would
depopulate the world."
