Senator Harding and Agriculture.


For years We in the East have pro-
fessed TO be greatly worried over the
migration of country boys and girls
to the urban centers. Some of Us
have really been concerned about this
unequal distribution of population.
All Of US who have seriously though,
about il have come 10 the conclusion
that il was unfortunate and poor
policy but that there was not much
we could do about il and that We
shouldn't blame the boys and girls
too much for wanting to get away
from the lack Of opportunity and the
drudgery of rural life. In the back
ground Of most of our thinking was
the idea that New England farms are
Of compa; atively small importance in
the great agricultural life Of the ma
ton and that as long as the Missis-
sippi valley would yield its rich
harvests the desertion of our own
hard. tight little acres might go on
without seriously menacing national
welfare. II the time should ever
come, we said. when the great Middle
West began TO lose its productivity
and its rural popMation. then the
government would have to do some
thing about il.
That time has come and the next
administration is even now looking
into the matter and proposing TO do
something about it," Senator CappeS
Of Kansas and Henry c. Wallace 0.
Iowa, both representative and influ-
entail farmers and publishers of farm
papers, in a recent interview with
Senator Harding carefully discussed
the agricultural problem. At the
close Of the conference both Western
ers expressed themselves much graft
fed with the intelligent and inte--
ested attitude Of the Republican
nominee toward the greatest Of
American activities.
The question of occupation and
tenancy of farm lands was one of the
most important in the discussion.
Senator Harding inquired if it were
true. as reported. that there are to-
day actually fewer people on the
farms of Iowa than there were forty
years ago. Mr.. Wallace assured him
that il is true. shockingly true. and
that the country needs TO be shocked
into a realization Of what that means
for what is true of Iowa is Just as
likely to be true of other states The
extraordinary agricultural policies
pursued by the present administra-
ton have worked undreamed Of hard
ships on the farmers: the rise Of farm
land prices has made il much harder
for tenants to buy farms Of their own
and has consequently brought about
kind Of short-sighted and short term
farming which tends to use up the
fertility of the soil without making
provision for paying it back; and the
more attractive hours and wages Of
industrial work have been impossible
for the farmers to meet.
According to these two farm pub
fishers, Senator Harding's views on
the agricultural problem have met
with the approval of the Middle West
and the people out there are going TO
support the candidate and the party
which they believe will deal sensibly
and sympathetically with the needs of
the farmers.
