The Japanese agriculturist has long been famous for the admirable manner in which he keeps and tills his farm. The fields are clean as regards weeds, and order and neatness are perceptible everywhere.
Life is in many ways a majestic trial of one's power to command. Three men buy adjoining tracts of land. One man mines coal upon his acres. He amasses wealth and influence because he is in control of the Carboniferous age and the human need of light and heat. The second man tills his ground and raises wheat and corn.
Yet, I never saw a ragged woman nor heard of a hungry child. All summer the settlers work from dawn to dusk under the clear sunshine of the open prairie, paying rent to no one, for each tills his own land, and though there are drawbacks drought, hail, and harvest-frost they meet them lightly, for you see neither anxious faces nor bent shoulders there. Our people walk upright, as becomes free men.
"Out of the till," answered Cyril. "Have you ever stolen anything out of the till before?" "Yes." "Yes, what." "Yes, father." "Take your hands out of your pockets and stand up straight, if you can.

Descendants of the ancient rulers of the land now till the fields of the descendants of the conquerors. Some, indeed, representing more or less the Indian part of the population, are owners of estates; yet a full Indian rarely has lands of his own. He is a hewer of wood and a drawer of water, tills the fields, and performs most of the drudgery of the country.
I have won her O good brown earth, Make merry! 'Tis hard on Spring; Make merry; my love is doubly worth All worship your fields can bring!

The audience did not cheer, it sat as if in church. The girl seemed to be speaking prophecy. "When the boys and girls will not go West nor to the city; when life will be worth living. In that day the moon will be brighter and the stars more glad, and pleasure, and poetry, and love of life come back to the man who tills the soil." The people broke into wild applause when she finished.
The man who works hardest, the man who kills the most deer, the man who catches the most fish even later on, the man who tends the largest herds, or the man who tills the largest field is the man who succeeds; the nation which is quickest to kill its enemies, or which kills most of its enemies, is the nation which succeeds.
