Today we hear, and read, much about “Frontiers”—with emphasis on “The New Frontier." Not many years ago, when one heard, or saw the word, he thought of and visualized the great West_a borderland—beyond settlement and civilization.
Now the phrase; “The New Frontier” is seen practically in every newspaper and magazine one picks up. it no longer refers to border lands alone. It refers to Science_every kind of work— every region of thought. The New Frontier is everywhere.
In the early 1940’s a great Texan wrote in an Agricultural report to the Honorable Coke R. Stephenson, Governor of the State of Texas, “The old frontier is gone; No new lends lie to the West; Today’s frontier is the Soil beneath our feet. Conservation.not exploitation, will unlock the boundless possibilities of THE NEW FRONTIER, and shower the wealth and blessings of the SOIL upon ALL MANKIND.”
Also, in the early 1940’s another Texan, who had caught the same vision, came to Rappahannock looking for a farm.
He had left his native Texas when a young mani.._.had come East, became a member of a big business corporation which he served with distinction for a number of years. Then at the end of that service he had come to Virginia.
“I’m not retiring,” he said to a, friend, “I’m just changing my work and Mary and I have learned to1 love Virginia. We (it was always we) are not looking for a farm and a house that is all fixed up. We want to find one that has see i better days.yet with enough left to tell obit’s Story, We want to be genuine FRIENDS of the land.do our work for it with understanding.” !
