1922 State
Farms Are Idle
State Survey Shows Many Leave
Farms For Life In Cities.

Lansing, May 15.AThe number of
men that have left the farms of Michi-
gan during the past three years is three
times as great as the number of Michi-
gan men that died or were killed in the
Civil war. 1t would reduire the pres
ent male population more than fifteen
years Of age Of Lansing and Flint to re-
place them.
There are enough vacant houses in
Michigan to house conveniently the
population of Grand Rapids. The num-
Der of farm houses vacated within the
past twelve months could easily accom-
odate all of the people in the city OF
jackson with homes; 8.74 per cent OF
the farms of the state are wholly idle
this year, an area of approximately
1858, 600 acres, equal to about five ord.
mary counties.
The total men and boys over fifteen
years of age on the farms of the state
is 23O, 900, or S2.5 acres to be worked by
each man and boy.
These figures are based upon com
plete survey made during the past four
weeks by the Michigan crop reporting
service under the joint supervision oil
Coleman C. Vaughan, secretary of state
and Verne H. Church, field agent, Unit
ed States bureau of crop estimates, and
aided by the office of the superinten
dent of public instruction.
A blank was mailed to each rura
school district asking for report upon
the farms of that school district. The
compilation of these reports shows thai
Is, 232 farms are idle this year as com
pared with II 1891 last year. While the
abandonment, which in many cases i:
temporary because of the lack OF tenant
farmers, is least in the best farming
sections, il is found to be community
movement. Many districts show M
abandonment, but where families be
gan leaving the act seems to be contag
ious until in some cases one-third t.
one-half of the school district had mi
grated to the city. In the south centra
district only Al per cent of the farm.
are idle and in some counties only 3 pei
cent. In the northwest district of thu
lower peninsula 1874 per cent are idle
and occasional counties report Is pei
cent or more.

ls II Pseudo.SeIenee?

Human intellect is so partial to a
generalization that even men Of SCI
ence constantly are guilty Of general
izing upon an insufficient basis OF
facts. A learned professor of the Uni
versity Of Cincinnati invites us to be-
lieve that the older the parents the
better the chances Of distinction for
the children.
He draws his conclusion from what
he SAYS are the facts concerning cattle
and horses. But only the other day
we read dissertation by another SCI
enlist warning against taking for cri-
terion the history of the domestic ami
mails, asserting that the human race,
as far as heredity is concerned is as
much a wild species as lions, ele-
plants, or wolves.
The Cincinnati savant also derives
his induction from the facts concern
ing the parentage Of illustrious men,
Franklin, Lincoln, Newton, for in
stance, the sum Of whose parents
ages at their birth was high. Yet it
is a fact that the mother Of Napoleon
at the time of his birth was but eight
cen and his father scarcely thirty.
And the illustration can be repeated
many times.
