The farm problem is not the prob

soil, of improving the quality of corn,
or of conserving our foods, forests. Or
other natural resources. 1t is not the
problem of increasing the skill and
business efficiency of the modern far

Neither is il the problem of making

these are parts of the real issue, hut
they are not the problem itself.
What the Problem Is.
The farm problem in its most funda-
mental aspects. is the problem of main
tanning upon our farms a class of peO-

The problems of the city are due 70

isolation. During the winter or early
spring months bad roads alone make
hermits of many families.
The snow bound days pictured by
Whittier in his charming idyl are nc
longer frequent occurrences but less
poetic mud-stuck days are still an aX
listing reality. Physical isolation and
the economic independence of the farm
are the fundamental causes of socia
isolation
Its effects are the well known con

The effects of physical and social
