To them the call to grow ' wheat does not come. This is no time to waste land and seed in trying to do the manifestly unprofitable work. » There are many other farmers whose land is thoroughly suitable for growing wheat, but who may be tempted to grow some other crop be- cause there is a little more money in it, This is not the time to be counting coppers when human lives and human freedom are at stake. It will be a terrible retribution for our selfishness if we should be compelled to plough our fields as a defeated people because we have "placed profit before patriotism.
