reached a maximum never expert
enced in this country before. AS
result costs tend to pile up, the in
dividual staggers under load which
he can no longer carry with equa-
nimity, and the body polite is dis
eased and the human beings con-
cerned intensely unhappy and dis
satisfied. A further accentuation Of
this condition can bring no relief to
humanity and can only aggravate a
condition which has already reach
ed the breaking point ..
What has tended SO greatly to
cause this great exodus from the
country to the towns and cities?
Briefly it is this: Short hours, high
so-called privileges and opportuni-
ties of city life. Can you blame the
countryman for moving to town un-
der these circumstances? Not if
this analysis of the situation is cor
rect, because it is only natural for
people to seek to congregate where
they think they will find sthe most
entertaining spectacles and live the
easiest and most sumptuous life. I'm
fortunately, many who have gone
from the country have not found
things as they imagined they would.
In times similar to those through
which we have just passed, when any
sort of labor was at a premium,
urban residence might be regarded
as fairly satisfactory, but with ris-
ing rents and food costs, due to the
release from the army of skilled la
borers and the reduction in working
hours, the unskilled 1aborer finds
himself in very unhappy position.
After all, the things he went to the
city to obtain and enjoy are of
rather fleeing and tamnOraru char
acter which has resulted in filling
him with a restlessness from which
he cannot escape because all his ac-
customed habits and ways of think
ing have been changed. The city of
the present day, with it's socalled
manifold attractions, has taken the
average individual out of the home
street wanderer. He has no place in
which he feels happy and contentea
and where he can sit down and re-
lax and feel that he is in a restrui
atmosphere. This applies not only
to the man recently moved to the
well. Our so-called modern city life
has quite effectively destroyed the
home and it has given us nothing
worth while in it's place. This how
ever, constitutes probably a digres-
sion from the main subject, and so I
return to the original theme with
the thought that one solution of the
future of our agriculture lies in re-
turning to the land a reasonable pro-
portion of that part Of our popula-
ton which so recently left the coun-
try.
who went from the country to the
city under war conditions now find
that they lost more than they gain

The Future of Our Agricu1tur

AAe SuCure OF Our agriculture
What of the future? This is a
question which looms large on the
horizon Of human thought at the
present time. 1t is indeed a portent-
Gus problem and one that MANY an
individual would be glad to envision
so that he might know what to an
ticipate. Fortunately for us this is
not possible and so we must view
present conditions and prognosticate
therefrom that which is likely to
come to pass or which may be
brought to pass If human agencies
and efforts are properly conserved
and directed 1t is not claiming too
much, or over-stating the question to
the main issue now confronting
civilized man. 1t affords mankind
the only means by which the high
cost of living can be met and over
come, ana that sort of haIcyon pc
r rnai which prevailed in the world
existence. Everyone is therefore
tremendously interested in the flu
ture of our agriculture, and as it is
such basic and fundamental in
dustry to the. welfare of mankind 1t
seems only wise, judicious and prop
er that we should take forethought
relative thereto and try to see what
problems lie Immediately ahead and
how we shall proceed to solve these
to the best advantage. a.
A review of existing eircum-
stances and conditions shows that
there Is great dearth of farm labor
and tendency probably for most of
the comparatively few who live in
the country to move to towns and
cities, where congestion has now
