AGRI CULTURE IS THE FOUNDATION of our prosperity. For this reason the farmers of the nation have organ ized to obtain a moratorium on fore closures until farm products will bring cost of production and farmers can meet their obligations.

Greed and selfishness have pro duced a strain Of social conditions that are hard to. explain, But call it what you may, tech nocracy or what, It is leveling down barriers that held to the spot. The productive fields that were once cleared away. Are now covered with shrubs instead of hay. The quail and the grouse now nestle and play, Where the brable is clothed in purple and gray. Tons of paper and barrels of ink have been used, And disquisitions clover are be ing refused, State craft has apparently lost its sway, So we will balance the budget some other day. There is a tree of mammouth size, On Capitol Hill, and its fruit is a prize. The cost to maintain is a bur den to all, However the fruit is about ripe and ready to fall. Some are now holding their baskets ready to catch The first plum that strays from the glittering thatch. To gladden the heart of a real good friend. Who scored a victory and a poli tical blend. To end the depression there is only one way, Eliminate politics, greed, sel fishness and don't delay. To execute justice to every man, Stop hoarding money and reach out whila you can, And save the country from a downward trend, For the Master stands ready His help to lend.
