ECONOMIC PROBLEMS DRIVING
MANY FARMERS INTO CITES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Thous-
ands of the country's agricultural
population are being forced by pres
ent. economic conditions to leave
| Their farms and ranches in the hope
their farms and ranches as liveli-
hood in urban industry.
This migration from the land to
the towns and cities is taking place
in practically every section of the
country. Not only agricultural la
borers but tenants and owners of
farms are represented in this great
and ominous movement.
The Department of Agriculture
has been gathering statistics on the
subject and finds that in July, Au-
gust, and September persons who
left the farms for the cities were
twice the normal number. In a
summary of economic conditions af-
fecting agriculture just issued by the
bureau of agricultural economics Of
the Department Of Agriculture, ap-
pears this statement:
"Another development of great
significance is the movement of the
population from farms into urban
industry. Figures compiled within
the month by this department lndi-
cate a very abnormal movement of
population from farms to towns now
taking place. Thus has the economic
unbalance of three years brought its
final painful-but irresistible cor
rective force into action"
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
in his annual report, refers to this
exodus from the land of Farmers
and farmers sons," but expressed
the opinion that it was "hopefu
sign" because at means a more rapid
readjustment."
Members Of congress, especially
those from the middle western, west
ern and southwestern states, do no
share Secretary Wallac's comforta
BILE view of the situation. They re
gard this migration from the LAM
as a sign CT the gravity of agrlcul
tural conditions not only at the pres
4 emit but for the future. They do no
believe it promises a 'more rapid re
adjustment" but a curtailment O
production and a serious aggravatio'
of economic problems in the large
cities and industrial districts.
Bankruptcy now and utter lack {
prospect for the future are reason
for this shifting of farmers and agri

TOURIST CAMP IDEAL ONE
Every Comfort and Convenience
Provided. Traveller Says OF
Anglin Camp

Americus is coming to the front
as tourist camp, and daily express
sions are received from those who
have come into the community, stop
ped at the Anglin camp, rested for
a day or two, enjoyed the lovely
lawns and flower gardens of Amer
icus women, and passed on, carrying
away happy memory of few days
spent in this ideal spot.
Since the establishment Of the
Anglin camp several weeks ago,
scarcely a day has passed without
the advent of tourists coming thsi
way from the frozen North en- route
to the sunny cline of Florida, all
Of whom have nothing but the high
est praise for. Americas hospitality,
the beauties of this section and the
cordiality of its people.
Edward Rode, tourist from De-
troit, Mich, who came into Americas
Monday during the binding rain
storm, stopped at filling station
and inquired if tourist camp ex-
listed here or in this vicinity. He
was directed to the Anglin camp, a
mile from the city, located in one
of its prettiest spots. Such was his
cordial reception by the occupants
of the Anglin family, and the insist
ence that he become one of the
members for the stormy night, that
he acceded, remaining a guest in
the home for several days, not plac-
ing his tents for the duration Of his
visit.
In talking with Times-Recorder
reported Wednesday, Rode expressed
his appreciation of the wonderful
beauty spots surrounding every
home, of the handsome residences,
and of the unsurpassed hospitality of
Americus people.
"In the North" said he, people
come and go and little attention is
paid to them unless they present
a suspicious appearance. Here ev-
erybody is hail fellow well met, and
it has made my heart glow to talk
to people who acted as if they had
known you all your life, when they
never saw you before. 1t has been
revelation to me, and coming to
spend one night out of the rain, |
am almost persuaded to spend Christ
mas here among this genial people.
II wish to express a tourists and
northerner's appreciation of South
ern hospitality. It~was my good for
tune to spend few days at Bob
Anglin's tourist camp on South Lee
street, Americas, Ca, the past week.
He has set aside field, with proper
sanitary and toilet conveniences to
camp in. His we'll and woodpile are
at the trevelers' disposal and his
geniality and rare wit are constant
source of delight and pleasure.
"Americus is an ideal and logical
place for tourists camp the stores
are well stocked and sufficient to
supply every need Of the traveller and
it is days run to the next camp
site. | cannot too strongly express
my appreciation and approval Of
what he is doing to make this an
ideal camp site and thereby yin the
good will of the traveller for the
town of Americas.

'To illustrate" continued Herr
Deutsch, chow present prices and
conditions affect people:
Take business man with small
capital who formerly bought a ma
chine for his factory for 10000
marks. He put aside a 1000 marks
yearly amortization fund, so that
when the machine wore out he had

purchase price, he cannot put aside
The amortization fund. When the
machine is worn out, he is through.
"Or sH man has 100000 gold
marks capital in his business. An
parently he is goinly splendidly, earn
ing 100 per cent on his capital. but
with the fall in the marks value his
present capital and earnings to-
gether are worth only 100000 gold
marks and really he is 1000, 0QO gold
marks loser.
People say the great industrial
concerns have money abroad. This
has been greatly exaggerated.
True, big undertakings have to
have dollar credits. Since the Yer
sailles treaty, with its amputation of
territory from us, Germany does not
produce many raw matsrian She
has to buy not only c6ps g. lead,
wool, cotton and flax, as before The
war, but iron, zinc, coal and great
deal more of her food.
This excess Of imports over ex4
ports doesn't betoken prosperity. A 4
nation, like an individual, which
buys more than it sells, is getting
deeper into debt or consuming its
capital.
Much industry you see in Ger
many is supplying German needs.
They are paid for in paper marks
but the raw material is bought in !
foreign currencies.
Between Berlin and Vladivostok
are 300 million human beings who
need our manufactured goods, but /
can't pay for them. There are lands
which can pay but have put up
wall against us-high tariffs or anti
dumping laws. 1 mean England,
France, the United States, Czecho-
Slovakia. We still have market

tent in Asia.
eve haven't the gold to pay the
Allies and we can't pay in goods

References are made to the lack
OF unemployment in Germany.
Employment is valuable to
country only when adding to its
wealth. Remember the coal and
other materials we hove to supply to
the Allies. So far as Germany is
concerned the men so employed
mlgth as well be jobless.
Neither the German government
nor business men want to depreciate
the mark. If Germany sold more
abroad than she buys abroad, there
might be something in the claim,
but with imports exceeding exports,
the cheaper the mark the worse for
U.S."

NEW ASSAULT ON
LlZZY'S FATHER

The assault by five members of the
House Military Affairs Committee on
Henry Ford's proposal to buy from the
government the great Muscle Shoals
plant serves a purpose only in that 1t
opens a new angle to the handling of
this gigantic government enterprise
that will arrest attention. The prot
estants charge that the Ford plan is
part of "the most indisideous propa-
ganda that the nation has witnessed
for many a day" They contend the
plant has cost the government $685.
487, 900, and that it is proposed to sell
1t TO Ford for less than $4,000, 600.
They contend the contract does not
enforce the manufacture of fertilizer
by Ford, and that this fertilizer propa-
ganda has been spread TO gain the
backing of the farmer. Further, they
sheer at the plea to labor in stories
of the possible employment for a mil
lion men. The chief cause of objec-
ton is, however, that Mr.. Ford does
not agree to make fertilizers at all
unless he can make them at a profit
TO himself" This is a terrible ar
raignment. By what rule of thumb do
these very patriotic congressman con.
denim h moral standard of a man
because he wants to make profit out
of a business enterprise. If we had
in the national congress a few men
of sufficient business acumen to think
of profit for the public, we would not
be worrying to-day about the disposi-
ton of the Muscle Shoals plant. 1t
would be operated by the government,
supplying to the farmers fertilizer at
cost or near to cost; it might even be
turning out standardized farming ma
chinery and putting an end to the en-
ploitation of the farmer at the hands
of the machinery trust. Farmers
mean food, and food means life. If
the opposition can bring this about,
then by all means scrap the Ford
plan, blu If it cannot, If the country
must await the slow d~isintegration of
the plan, if 1t must stand idle until it
rots n falls to pieces like so many
of our wartime ships, il ii must fol-
low in the wake of the thousands of
wartime automobiles, left for months
in the open, to be made junk by the
weather, While our patriots bubble
like the three little Tailors of Tooley
Street, then the sooner we get some
action and some salvage from the in
competency of our reclamation au-
thorities the better.
The shocked congressman say Ford
is not an Aladdin plus the lamp. True,
but he is a pretty sound business man,
II his past performance for labor
bespeaks we'll for the workman in the
future If he be permitted TO turn gov
eminent tloundering into private en-
prgy.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922.

Although Pm feeling very fit and in
the best of trim, there's something
seems to fret me quite a lot. I've
pondered every day, of late; I've lost
my usual vim and all through just one
worry that I've got.
My youngster has the whooping-
cough and while he's running round,
he gets his spells of whooping like
the deuce. His little cheeks get red
dish and his throat seems tightly
bound and the help l try to give is of
no use.
Little folks done seem to mind it;
they just cough until they're through.
Then they smile and think the whole
thing is a joke. But when grown-up
people hear them-when the sound
bursts forth anew, well, you almost
think. in sympathy, you'll choke.
Wish that l could take his cough
ing; | would gladly whoop and whoop,
if my youngster from the trouble
could be free. Yet he smiles and
bears it manly, as he did his case of
Group. After all, l guess he's got
more nerve than me.
