Adams, Agent Wingham Ontario EASTER AND THE FARM LINKED “It is only agriculture which helps a man not to be a beggar, and it is only through agriculture that a man can be famous in the world by being called a king. Even persons who possess gold, silver, jewels, and cloth­ ing beg from agriculturists. It is food which is life; it is food which is Strength, and it is food that is the source of all life. Agriculture is the life of all animals.” This quotation is taken from a San­ scrit manuscript of B.C. 1300 in a prayer to “The Glory of Parasara,” a Hindu Saint, revered for centuries as the prototype of agricultural science. More than a thousand years .how­ ever, before the advent of Parasara, the farm as the cource of food, cloth­ ing, and the other necessaries for feasting and rejoicing at the various national festivals, particularly at the coming of spring, was emphasized and recorded in the statutes of China by the Emperors Fu-hi in B.C. 2852 and Shounung in B.C. 2800, the latter being known as “the divine labourer and inventor of agricultural imple­ ments.” At Easter of Spring time, as at all other ancient festivals, the farm was idealized as the source of food by which all men and animals were en­ abled to live, and to-day, whether this important fact is recognized or not, the function of the farm as the pro­ ducer of food and the source of civ­ ilization has not altered. Without food and clothing, the celebration of Easter would be impossible. Easter without paschal eggs, Easter without Easter lamb, and Easter without the Easter parade of the latest fashions in women’s finery and the latest modes in men’s clothes—for they all come originally from the farm—would indeed, be a dull one. The ancient significance of re-birth as symbolized by the farm would pass into the limbo of the forgotten. In accordance with the ancient tra­ dition that the world was “hatched” or created at Easter-tide, eggs were presented by the early Persians, Jews, Egyptians and Hindus to friends as a token of the spring or re-creation of the world. The early Christians adopted the custom to symbolize the Resurrection, and at first coloured the eggs red in allusion to the blood of their redemption. In the Greek and Latin language the term pascha, from the Hebrew Pasch (passover) was us­ ed, and in this way the Christian cel­ ebration of Easter is linked with the Hebrew Passover and sti.ll earlier pagan festivals of the creation. The ancient Norse Goddess of spring or fertility was Ostara (in Anglo-Saxon, Eastre or Eostre) hence the English name Easter ICING SUGAR I MACARONI 2 Lbs. for..................15c | 2 Lbs. for..................11c PORK .
