Lack of an adequate number OF

Section rs of the merchant ma

the Shipping Board and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission power
to suspend the preferential rates
when II is found that American tom
mage is insufficient to take care of

The discriminatory features of the

NEED FARMERS,
PAYNE WARNS
Fall in Rural Population
Menacing Production Of
Nation S Food.
FAVORS SMALL UNITS
National Parks Also Are in
Danger, Secretary OF
Interior Says.
FAVORS SMALL UNITS

Unless life on farms Is made more
attractive a serious situation with
regard to production of food Will
soon confront the country. according
to the report of John Barton Payne,
Secretary of the Interior, made pub
lie here yesterday.
During the year ended June 80, the
Secretary points out the number OF
vacant farm houses in Ohio alone
increased from $4,000 to $4,000, or
81 per cent. other States, he says,
present similar conditions.
"The difficulty is that people prefer
to live in towns and villages and to
enjoy society and the conveniences
and comforts of modern life beyond
the reach of a scattered population
living on large farms.
Can this be remedied by the own
ership of small farms and the for
nation of neighborhood associations?
Small farms bringing people nearer
together and intensive cultivation of
these farms. may be the answer.
Favors Small Farm Units.
IF the farm unit was forty acres,
better results could be obtained than
IL the unit is eighty or 160 acres.
"The Importance of this subject
can be realized when ii Is stated
that three measures are now before
Congress authorizing the depart
ment to aid persons desiring to pro-
cure farms All embody the COM
munity settlement idea. One knows
as the Mondell bill provides an ap-
preparation of $500. .000. 900; the world
war farm and home building act in
troduced by Senator Borah appro-
PIRATES $500, 1000. 900.
The third bill enlists the services
of the department in the reclamation
of land for community settlements.
The Reclamation Service is available
for this work." the Secretary says.
National Parks In Danger.
The great national parks are in
danger of destruction. according to
the report, which pleads for a fixed
national policy forever preserving
their resources from the demands of
commerce.
with the rapid settlement and
changing conditions of the West
the wisdom of creating national
parks and permanently setting
apart such wonderlands as the yell
lowstone Park, the Grand Canyon,
the Yosemite, the Sequoia, preserv-
ing for the present and for future
generations those wonderful works
of nature, and the wild animals and
birds, so plentiful in the early days
but now SO scarce, is increasingly
evident" says the report.
IF this principle is not recog-
nized and eommercialization in any
form is allowed to creep in, it will
be only question of time when our
Wild West will be only a memory
and the big game of our country
will be extinct and these places and
objects, now so wonderful. will be
seriously and permanently injured" +"
