Among the greatest sources of waste in the United States to-day is land. The latest reports show that this country, exclusive.: of our insular possessions, contains 1 ,9 0 0, 000,000 acres of land of which about 1,140,000,000 are tillable. There

is therefore an apparent waste of ' substantially 40 per cent, of the area of the country. Of course, much of this land can never be used for the purposes of man. Last ( year the amount of land planted in crops was 875,000,000 acres, which represents a gain of 56,000,000 acres in ten years. When we look back over our record of the last two years and consider that a very large percentage of the people of the world have depended upon us for food, we are able to gain some idea of our possibilities. It is regrettable that, while food prices are very high throughout the world and thousands of people are. actually starving to death, we have such a tremendous domain of food producing land absolute, ly going to waste in this country. In the development of these great natural resources lies one of the most splendid opportunities for thrift work in the United States and the contemplation of these facts certainly should make optimists of us all. The population of the continental United States today is about 103,000,000. If we are only cultivating onethird of our tillable land, then we can treble our population and still feel

that we have ample elbow-room. And what a nation this will be with 300,. 000,000 cituenst But our practices of thrift should and will extend not alone to the eventual cultivation of all the land that now is wasted. More intensive fanning methods can be applied and the productivity of our present acreage can be tremendously-increased. Improved scientific agriculture is making it possible for the American farmer and gardener to get an ever increasing amount of food from the land at his disposal. Small plots of ground which have gone to waste heretofore can be utilized, and the war. garden movement, which has been such a splendid source of additional food supply during the last two years, can be developed to almost unlimited possibilities. There is a certain amount of social unrest throughout the world to-day. It has manifested itself in this country to some extent. But there is no reason for pessimism.. There never was a time in the history of our country when the outlook could be viewed with as much gratification. But we must remember that our . nation, to fulfil its greatest destiny, must practice thrift just as intensively as was the case during the war. We are in no danger from Bolshevism, and the best and surest weapon we can use in defending ourselves against this menace is thrift. As long as the people of America are willing to live sensibly and prudently; as long as they are willing to develop their great resources and practice broad, progressive, constructive thrift there will be no need for alarm for any other reason whatever.' j With thrift as our national watchword our future Is secure.
