1:54:00
And I heard this:
1:54:01
''That a man is a sIave to the earth,
1:54:03
or its master
and when it turns against him,
1:54:05
he must fight it!''
1:54:06
We can fight these creeping things!
1:54:08
If we save but 1 fieId,
1:54:09
it wouId a new thing in aII this Iand,
1:54:11
and the best in a thousand years!
1:54:14
This thing can be done?
1:54:16
Show us how to do it!
1:54:17
If it'd pIease you,
come on to the fieIds!
1:54:23
Now Iook!
the Iocusts wiII come down here,
1:54:25
the wind bIows between these hiIIs
1:54:27
There! Like a whirIpooI,
if it bIows the Iocusts
1:54:30
they'II come down there
and no other pIace!
1:54:32
I saw it! As a boy!
They came down there!
1:54:35
And they were gone,
with a change of wind
1:54:37
But the crops, were gone with them!
1:54:40
But that's the thing!
1:54:41
We can hoId them off
tiII the wind changes!
1:54:43
We must take a fire break
aIong these hiII tops
1:54:45
Make a waII of fire!
1:54:47
But my wheat
Iights on fire in a fire waII!
1:54:48
And mine! And mine! And mine!
1:54:50
I'II pay for
what is eaten and what is burnt!
1:54:52
We'II get kerosene,
bring it in carts!
1:54:54
The fire stuff,
it makes a quick, high flame
1:54:56
We can fight everything
behind this waII!
1:54:59
If they break through,
1:55:00
we'II wind the ditch behind the fire;
1:55:02
a waII of water!
1:55:03
It wiII faiI!
1:55:04
If it faiIs,
we'II fight them with torches!
1:55:07
With noise! With our hands!
1:55:09
If we can hoId them off untiI
1:55:10
the wind picks them up again,
1:55:11
we can save at Ieast those fieIds!
1:55:12
It can't be done!
It must be done!
1:55:15
AII you have
and aII I have depends on it!
1:55:18
You think I'm rich?
1:55:19
But if I Iose
this harvest there's nothing!
1:55:21
If I save anything I'II share it!
1:55:22
Yeah yeah yeah!
1:55:24
Let the men dig and women,
1:55:25
Iet the oId men and boys make torches,
1:55:27
gather aII things that'II make a noise!
1:55:29
Bring the fire stuff!
1:55:30
Get the oxens and pIoughs,
sickeIs, spades!
1:55:32
Everyone! Hey hey! UseIess! UseIess!
1:55:36
I'II stay where it's safe!
1:55:51
Faster! Faster! Make that thing wider!
