The husbandman but removes the obstacles. THE HUSBANDMAN BUT REMOVES THE OBSTACLES
stacles away. The husbandman tills his field, breaking up the clods of earth into fine mould, penetrable to air and rain; he sows his seed, carefully covering it, for fear of birds and the wind; he waters the seed-laden earth, turning the little rills from the irrigation tank now this way and that, removing obstacles from the channels, until the even How of water vitalizes the whole field. And so the plants germinate and grow, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear. But it is not the husbandman who makes them grow. It is, first, the miraculous plasmic power in the grain of seed, which brings forth after its kind; then the alchemy of sunlight which, in presence of the green colouring matter of the leaves, gathers hydrogen from the water and carbon from the gases in the air, and mingles them in the hydro-carbons of plant growth; and, finally, the wholly occult vital powers of the plant itself, stored up through ages, and flowing down from the primal sources of life.  IN HIS FIELD IT TAKES OBSTACLES AWAY THE HUSBANDMAN TILLS HIS FIELD BREAKING UP THE CLODS OF EARTH INTO FINE MOULD PENETRABLE TO AIR AND RAIN HE SOWS HIS SEED CAREFULLY COVERING IT FOR FEAR OF BIRDS AND THE WIND HE WATERS THE SEED LADEN EARTH TURNING THE LITTLE RILLS FROM THE IRRIGATION TANK NOW THIS WAY AND THAT REMOVING OBSTACLES FROM THE CHANNELS UNTIL THE EVEN HOW OF WATER VITALIZES THE WHOLE FIELD AND SO THE PLANTS GERMINATE AND GROW FIRST THE BLADE THEN THE EAR THEN THE FULL CORN IN THE AIR BUT IT IS NOT THE HUSBANDMAN WHO MAKES THEM GROW IT IS FIRST THE MIRACULOUS PLASMIC POWER IN THE GRAIN OF SEED WHICH BRINGS FORTH AFTER ITS KIND THEN THE ALCHEMY OF SUNLIGHT WHICH IN THE PRESENCE OF THE GREEN COLOURING MATTER OF THE LEAVES GATHERS HYDROGEN FROM THE WATER AND CARBON FROM THE GASES IN THE AIR AND MINGLES THEM IN THE HYDRA CARBONS OF PLANT GROWTH AND FINALLY THE WHOLLY OCCULT VITAL POWERS OF THE PLANT ITSELF STORED UP THROUGH AGES AND FLOWING DOWN FROM THE PRIMAL SOURCES OF LIFE
