cisely since 1921 that the crisis in ag-
riculture has wrought it's greatest de-
vastation-e exiting countless thous-
ands of families from the land on
which they and their ancestors had
lived and herding them into the in
dustrial centers, there to haunt the
slave markets in the ranks of the
army of unskilled unemployed. So
deep is the agricultural crisis that
many of the bankers who now hold
formerly productive land by virtue
of the foreclosure of the mortgages
are unable either to dispose of the
land or to secure tenants to work it,
with the result that they are "land

gone into bankruptcy. For this
steady decline in agriculture, which
Coolidge calls progress, the presiden-
tial benediction IS bestowed upon the
individual farmer.
Such sentiments must have adorned
the speech Coolidge tried to deliver
at the Minnesota state fair at st. Paul
in 1922, when, as vice president in the
Harding administration, he was boot

farmers there assembled.
COOLIDGE refutes his own optim-
" istic observations when he outlines
what purports to be an agricultural
program and admits that agriculture
has not fully recovered from postwar
depression"
According to Coolidge the main
problem which is presented for So
luton is one of dealing with sur
plus of production. That is to say
the farmers are producing more thar
they should and so the remedy is fur
