come late last fall with the tightening OF
industrial conditions and consequent lack
of employment in the cities. 1t became
increasingly evident this winter until IN
February the tide seems to nave begun 10
flow the other way.
1.-The change, naturally, is most marked
in the vicinity of the industrial centers,
the February sales in New England, Ior
instance, having increased more than 700
per cent over those of last year, those IN
the Middle Atlantic states about 10 per
cent over last year and in the steel centerS
and manufacturing district of the central
west approximately 100 per cent.
The great majority of men going from
the cities and manufacturing towns back
to the farms are believed to be men who
came from the country originally, at
tracted by high wages in industry. Many
of these men accumulated considerable
savings and now that work Is uncertain
and scarce they are using their savings
to purchase self-supporting homes Tor
themselves rather than to accept lower
wages or to live in idlenesS while their
savings are being eaten up by high rents
and other unavoidable living costs in the
cities
New England was said to be leading the
movement While the increase throughout
the United States is in excess OF 80 per
cont greater in February than for the
same period last year, New England
farm sales show an increase OF 2OO per
cent. due to the fact that many factory
workers who have been thrown out of
employment or forced to submit to wage
reductions have left the cities and towns
and gone into general farming, dalrylng,
poultry and hog raising and Dee keeping
as well as the Cultivation of small fruits.
An interesting feature of the situation
is that of the 4,272 farms sold last year,
I.171 were disposed of in New England,
more than one-quarter of them to residents
of other states; while OF the 3,lOU farms
sold in other states. only 81 buyers were

past year sold APP farms, valued at more
than S20,0O0.0O0, from Maine to Califor-
mia. has made public at its offices here
the interesting discovery that, for the first
time in many years, there are signs of a
change in the drift of population away
from the cities and back to the farms.
Recently announced federal census sta
tistics showed that the aggregate popuia-
ton of American cities, when the canvass
was made six months or more ago, act
ualIy exceeded the aggregate population OF
the farming districts. condition ,unpre
cedented in the country's history. inns
is explained by the fact that there was an
influx of people from farming communities
to the cities. especially in the period or
abnormal industrial activity durlng, ana
Immediately following the war. 1nou-
sands of farmers and members OF their
families came TO factory localities where,
for two or three years, they made Dig

idle city dwellers as wells are turning u
