BACK TO THE LAND MOVEMENT
Why the Checking Of the March to

Temporary.

The tide Of population which has
been rushing from the country to the
city has been temporarily checked; In
fact 1t is Seceding In the other direc
ton at the present time. Farmers
and farm laborers, lured to town by
Inflated wartime wages, are returning
to their rural haunts, now that theiI
source Of high living has gone. witt
them are going unemployed city labor
ers, largely foreigners. and some city
business men who have heard the
siren call Of the countryside.
This movement, which started with
the rehabilitation Of our troops, and
was accelerated by the shutting down
of war babies" has received added
impetus tSom the general business
slump.
There Is undoubtedly a fsrmward
movement. But Is 1t great enough to
be Significant
When / discussed this question with

to be important. After considerable
investigation In various sections Of the
country and after receiving facts and
opinions from agricultural colleges.
farm bureaus and state departments
In a dozen states, my original idea has
been upheld. The cityward trend
may be balanced for the time being
by the movement back to the land,
but such a condition Il for the mo
ment only.
Farming Il far from being "the Life
Of Riley" In the year 1921. Many
farms are being sold for taxes; mort
gage foreclosures are forcing unfor-
tunate farmers to become wage earn
ers: returned farm laborers will ind
farm wages rather meSEe: effer their
well-filled city pay envelopes, ana
some, undoubtedly will move back to
town In search Of an elusive JOB,
plumbing, and friendly movie palaces.
