Tumbledown Farm .9 Acres (give or take an acre or two)

Excerpt: We shall find our rootage in the soil. ...This new character, this clearer sense of relation­ship with the earth, should express itself in all the people and not exclusively in farming people and their like. ...Now, here lies a difficulty and here is a reason for writing this book: the population of the earth is increasing, the relative population of farmers is decreasing, people are herding in cities, we have a city mind, and relatively fewer people are brought into touch with the earth in any real way.
