FRUIT AND PRODUCE Melon shipments. 104-106 Faneuil Hall Market BOSTON, MASS. j. those who tilled the soil there got a yield of fity-fold, with fair cultiva¬ tion one hundred-fold, and with good cultivation two hundred fold. That j was the garden of the world in its day. The great cities, Babylon and Nineveh, where are they? Piles of desert sand mark where they stood. In place of the millions that overran the world, there are a few wandering Arabs feeding half-starved sheep and goats. The Promised Land—the land of Canaan itself—to which the Chil¬ dren of Israel were brought up from Egypt, what is it now? A land flow¬ ing with milk and honey? I has nei¬ ther milk nor honey. It is a barren waste of desert, peopled by scattered robber bands. A provision of Providence fertiliz¬ ed the soil of the valley of the Nile by overflowing it every year. From the earliest records that history gives Egypt has been a land of remarkable crops; and today the land thus fer¬ tilized by overflow is yielding more abundantly than ever. It is made clear by every process of logic and by the proof of historic ’( fact that the wealth of a nation and the character of its people, the qual¬ ity and permanency of its institutions i are all dependent upon sound and suf¬ ficient agricultural foundation. No armies or navies or commerce or diversity of manufacture or any¬ thing other than the farm is the an¬ chor which will hold through the storms of time that sweep all else away.—James J. Hill. Chunk of Wisdom Andy Gump gives this advice to auto speeders: "Don't forget that you can beat some of ttie trains to the crossing all of the time, and you can heat all I the trains to the crossing some of the time, hut you can't beat all the trains to the crossing all the time."
