UdlVeSGOu news: 1--WE man
half loaf these days and he will |
get mad and destroy the bakery.
In all parts of the United States
people are leaving the cities and |
making homes on farms. A lead
ing paper of Baltimore states that
many men from eastern cities are
settling upon farm land in Mary.
land; and several Maine news.
papers comment on extensive
movement of population in that
state from cities to farms. In
times Of depression like these,
when the number of employees in
cities is greatly decreased, men are
compelled to go to farming. When
a laborer loses his job, and can
not get another, it is useless for
him to remain in a city. He soon
becomes destitute, and must find
some means of getting the neces-
sites Of life. While a farm er may
have many hardships, be without
money, and badly in debt, his con.
diti0n never g IT'S as bad as the city
la borer who can get no work.
The farm will always bring some
Income, and the: farmer is sure of
food to keep himself alive. A
farmer~in good health never has to
appeal to charity, unless some un-
usual disaster has visited him. It
is not strange then that the un-
employed leave the cities tor the
farms. They do not do so be-
cause they have plans to at once
become prosperous and wealthy,
but they know that thay can there
maintain life. The present condi.
tions have forced thousands of men
who had before earned good wages
in cities, and been heavy purchasers
of farm products, to themselves
become food producers; if not for
the market, at least for their own
use. Naturally one Of the results
has been a decreased demand for
farm products, and also an in
creased production of them by the
new tillers of the soil.
