coordinated, and the dwellings, in
stead of being scattered around,
as on Vashon and elsewhere, will
be concentrated in a village or
small town, which is good as far
as il goes. Secretary Lane recog-
nizes that one of the drawbacks
of country life is the isolation
and lack of social enjoyment F"
which has been a great factor in
enticing the younger people to the
cities, but not tI.a only and in fact
not the greatest factor in that re
spect. The main inducement for
this exodus is that the younger
generation cannot get adequate re-
turns for their labor, and here is
the weak point in the scheme. I'm
less the government sees to it that
the distribution of the farm pro-
duets will bring better returns
than al present, it is likely to be
a failure. The present system of
distribution is, to say the least,
cumbersome and leaky, with the
result that the producer gets too
little and the consumer pays too
much for the product. The cost Of
any manufactured product is based
on the labor cost, and an equitable
system should equally base the
price of farm produce on the labor
cost OF producing the same. IN
til some such system is put into
effect the farmer will not be get
ting a square deal, No CONNER
cial venture could exist under the
condition that now applies to the
agricultural business. It's time
that the present unfair and ex-
tortionate methods gave place
to something better.
