<br />which give promise of developing into mighty oaks of conser-
<br />vation. Nevertheless there is disappointment that the big scale
<br />cattle industry, of all food production plans the closest to na-
<br />ture's plan of abundance, failed to reclaim the harmony, the
<br />cooperation, the development and balance that was the earth's
<br />heritage before the coming of man. However, the priveLege and
<br />responsibility of analysis belongs to the reader rather than to
<br />the reporter. Therefore only a very general suggestion is vol-
<br />unteered, namely, that the agricultural production of food dif-
<br />fers radically from standard production in industry, which pro-
<br />cesses so called dead material, while the farmer deals with ever-
<br />changing, developing inter-dependent units with which his co-
<br />operation is of necessity mandatory.
<br />
<br />To those, who per-adventure wisr to make an analysis of
<br />the historical events in this and the following chapter on Dry
<br />Fanning, is submitted the following comprehensive definitions
<br />of history. Quote, "Civilization is not as we too often take for
<br />granted the use and enslavement of a constant, static earth of
<br />stored resources. It is an active evolution, developing mutual
<br />and interdependent cooperation, between' the evolving human'
<br />animal man, all other animals, plants, soils and minerals"a coop-
<br />eration which can be destroyed - disrupted by the failure in
<br />cooperation of any."
