United States farms can compete
with European cheap labor, and
even survive high railroad freight

On American farms, one worker
on the average produces twelve
tons of cereal. In Europe one
worker produces one and ons-halt

The farm problem Is not to bs
solved, according to Mr.. Clapp, by
keeping the boys on the farm"
but by letting the boys go 20 the
factories, using more machinery on
farms and thus reducing cost OF
production.

AMERICAN OUTDOOR
RECREATION IS 4
NATURAL RESOURCE

Outdoor recreation has become a
natural resource of America which
must be Judged on equal terms with
lumber, power, metals and similar
products in administration Of the pub
lie domain, according to an article in
the October number of Outdoor
America, official publication of the
lzaak Walton League of America.
The article, written by Donald
Hough, special writer for the maya
zine, is in protest against the plan
submitted to the government by pri-
vate interests for use of the Super
ior National, Forest in northern Min
nesota for a series of giant overflow
basins for power dams and water
storage.
The projected development, it is
claimed, would wreck recreation
area Of vital Importance to the peo-
pie of the middle West. The Superior
Forest is pictured as the last wilder
ness area east of the Rockies, as a
playground of national Importance. ST.
tuated within reach of 25,00O,000 peo-
pie. It is, according to Mr.. Hough,
"the juiciest plum dangling before.
the eyes of commercial exploiters to-
day and a battle-ground on which ma
tional issues for use of the public do
main are being fought"
Outdoor recreation, until recently
considered by-product, now out
ranks every other public use of some
parts Of the country Mr. Hough
claims.
Seventy years ago, he points out in
the article, the people had no use for
the forests and streams other than as
they could be developed commercial
ly. He says: There was too much
outdoors and not enough money, and
the outdoors, converted into money,
has built up America. Times have
changed. Today there is too much !
money and not enough outdoors. The
establishment of outdoor recreation
as a major use of the public domain
is based on this fact"
The day of private domination of
public domain is approaching an end,
ne declares, and points out that "the
remnants of recreational territory
within democratic striking distance of
civilization are pitifully small, and the
people have not the slightest inten-
ton of letting those remnants get
away from them"

we view him with respect; without ad.
vantages he rose, and all misfortune s
grievous blows could not his course
defect. If he is modest. we admire
the diligence that would not tire, the
grit that would not quail; If he is

poor. humble lad enjoying fame and
kale. Ie he is modest, we point out his
merits as we go about in language

tells the story of his rise whenever
he can back some guys against the

any wight who happily got started

no SCHOOLING" he declares, II think
that books are merely snares, and

men who learned all knowledge that
the schools upturned, and they were
in the hole; l had no teachers in my
youth. attended no scholastic booth,
and I've an ample roll. My parents
died when l was small, had no rela-
tives at all to take me in their charge:
l had no loving aunts to guide, to
counsel or to point with pride, and
I've a bundle large" And so with
fear and dread I scan the person of
