Eehitatiun 1911111 Enix mate Ziutna By HENRY VVALLACE Speaking of this great state of Iowa and its people, I sometimes like to imagine the great Creator of all things laying aside for a time the creation of suns and stars, planets and worlds and systems of worlds, mountain ranges and trout streams, rainbows and sunsets and women's smiles, and saying to Himself: I will now create the finest stretch of agricultural land on which My sun shall shine, and sow it with the choicest seeds. So He stripped the soil between these two great rivers down to the bare rock, then unth IIE nughty gladerg planed donuithe hiHs and HHed up the hohovvg and then filled it with selected soil from every part of the planet. Then putting, so to speak, His right hand on the Mississippi and His left on the Missouri, He pressed it together, throwing up this great backbone and giving drainage to east and west and south. Then in this fullness of time, He peopled it with the sons of the Pilgrim Fathers who had reclaimed rocky New England from savage man, and scarcely more savage beasts, the sons of those hardy pioneers xvho cleared avvay the rnighty forests xvest of the Alleghanies and made a highway for civilization. Then He brought from foreign lands the patient, untiring German farmer, the sons of I-Iuguenots, of whom Milton sang, Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints , the sons of the followers of William of Orange, the fair-haired children of the north, sons of the ancient Vikings, the sons of the covenantxvho dyed the heatherajad hiHs of Scotland udth theh'blood for con- science' sake, and to make it all the more heartsome gave us Pat, a broth of a boy to whom life is perpetual sunshine, and said to them all: Go in and make this Nleso- potamia of the new world, the country between the two great rivers, like the ancient paradise. It is the achievements of these descendants of the royal seed in bringing out the per- fection of form not in marble but in flesh and blood, in the production of waving crops of the choicest grains, with which to feed the hungry nations that you are called upon to present, and to unfold to an admiring world what is best of all, the type of men to be produced from generation to generation on this favored spot of the earth's surface, for man is greater than all his works, and the object of all human achievement is the perfection of human character. THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WASHINGTON To the Editor of Old Gold.: I think it is a very fine thing that your senior class is dedicating this yearls annual to the State of Iowa. Sincerely yours,
