TO continue it will bring calamity to
every private individual.
Industry in America has f1ourished
as never before in history. Yet we
find that the total capital Of the farm

in 1914 to s32 900 900 900 today. This
capital has earned only one-half of

and this makes no allowance for a
depreciation of approximately two
billion dollars in farm equipment.
$50 inter-related are the units Of
modern civilization that this will in
evitably react on industry. If men
leave the farms at the present rate,
then food prices will rise. with a re-
