steady decrease OF rural population
Increased output per man in the
country means the release of man
power for city industries. 1t means
that in America man is master OF
mis- land and not its slave. II we
/ should fall face down and worship
/ the fetish of production per acre
It would mean turning our farming
1 population into a state of peasantry.
Il we on the other hand emphasize
( production per unit of man power it
means broad minded. intelligent
free people on our farms.
Z Let us take a sample case and
examine this myth of rural decad-
ence. Between 1910 and 1920 eight
States of the union lost population
from counties measuring more than
one-half the total area Of the State
We will disregard Delaware, YER
mont and Nevada. The remaining
five are New York. Indiana, Kansas,
Mississippi and Missouri. Missouri
lost population from 1872 per cent.
of her area, and Missouri is the
fourth State in the union in acreage
Of corn, wheat and hay. Two of
the greatest agricultural counties of
Missouri are Platte and Pike. In the
40 years just past Pike county has
lost "a per cent. and Platte county
20 per cent of her population and in
these counties that means rural
population. What "A beautiful exam

county as an example of what is to
become of American farming Let
us see what has happened. In 1850
these two counties started out with
a combined population OF 44.0OOl
people and in 1920 they had $4,000
population.
In 1880 there were 43.SOO cattle
in these two counties. In 1920,
$4,000 A slight gain per capita.
In the 40 years that Platte coun-
ty lost 20 per cent of her population
she increased her acreage devoted
to crops by 80 per cent. Pike county
in 40 years lost "a per cent. of her
population and increased her crop
area by "a per cent. Twenty-four
per cent. less people worked "a per
cent. more land. These are not iso-
lated instances. There are twelve

Captain Smith yesterday enter
tanned at the Suckers Works in
Weybridge, a large party Of
friends VIC came to wish him luck
on his attempted world flight. He
had completed all of his arrange
ments and talked to his visitors
with modest confidence in his
chances for success.
Sir Ross was a pilot remarkable
for his skill rather than for feats
OF the daredevil type. He never
took chances beyond the necessary
one. Safety first" with due re-
gard to the accomplishment Of. the
task before him was his motto in
the air.
Captain Sir Ross Smith sprans
into prominence In aviation In 1918,
when accompanied by his brother
Sir Keith, he made a. flight from
England TO Australia, 1880 miles,
winning a prize of 10000 pounds
sterling from the Australian gov.
eminent. Both aviators were
knighted for the feat.
Captain Smith saw distinguished
service in the European war, frs!
with the Australian light horse in
Egypt and Gallipoli, and later as an
aviator with the Australian flying
corps inrEgypt and Palestine. He
was one Of the British Army ay!a
tors who in December 1918 mada
the first flight from Cairo to Cal
cutta.
The route Of the flight around
the world, which the brothers e2
pected to start from Croydon, near
London, April 25, was by way OF
France, Egypt, Asia. Minor, India
China, Japan and Siberia, thence
Jumping to North America at Ber.

of the Aleutiau Islands and at
Unalaska, thence across Canada TO
the 500, swinging there 10 the
southeast to New York and con.
tinuing along the New England
Coast to New Foundland, for the
jump across the Atlantic to Ireland.
The aviators expected to cover
the 21,500 miles in $40 hours OF
actual flying spread over a period
OF three months. Their machine
was OF the hydro.aeroplane type,
fitted with wheel for allghtA1g on
land and propelled by an engine Of
450 horsepower.
