Excerpt from The Farmer and the New Day For many years I have been meditating upon the mat ters that have been written about in this book. I have lectured about them to students and talked about them to farmers and other folks. Long ago I planned to write them out in a book or series of books, but I have found it nearly impossible to write satisfactorily in the midst of administrative duties. Good thinking and good writing on themes such as these require from most of us, time, fresh energy, and sufficient relaxation of mind to enable one to chew the cuds of reflection. Ex ecutives find it difficult to secure these requisites. I am finishing these pages under the pressure of a demand to join at once colleagues overseas in educational work among our soldiers. All that I have attempted in this book, is to endeavor to state the larger problems which the farmer must face during reconstruction and to indicate the significance and character of the relations between him and the rest of society in this new era. There has been little at tempt to furnish solutions of specific problems; rather to indicate a few of the fundamental principles and methods by which agricultural improvement and an ad justment to world affairs can be made.
