STAY ON THE FARM

w. P. Mcclure, editor Of the
Southside Virginia News, Pc
tersburg, Virginia made a pro-
posal that deserves wide atten-
ton. 1t is simple and it is i'm
portant. And the crux of it is
Why not keep farm boys on
farms?
In pursuing his proposal, he
asks q pregnant questions con-
cerning the trend of young men
away from the farm and posi-
bic ways of reversing it's direc-
ton. 1t is certainly obvious
that boys who have been rear
ed on farms and have been inti-
mately associated with the craft
of agriculture since infancy,
are best equipped to make the
farmers of tomorrow. And it
is equally true that these boys
have been marching to the city
in armies, for a great many
years, impelled by the hope of
making their fortune IN a life
of which they know little or
nothing.
In the years following the
war, this away-from-th -the-farm
drift added hundreds of thous-
ands of boys to the urban pop
ulation And when the depres-
sion came, it was an important
factor in causing the worst un-
employment situation in our
history. Most of the boys had
never learned any trade especi-
ally well, they took any old job
they could find, and it was usu-
ally of a sort requiring little
skill and no training or apti-
tude. They were the first to
be let out when production
slowed. They are likely the
last to be taken back.
We have appropriated mill
ions for agricultural relief and
created great federal organiza-
tions to administer it. Ger
tainly it would be worthwhile,
as Editor Mcclure says, to go
to the root of the farm problem
and give part of the money and
effort to evolving a plan to en-
able young men to stay on the
farm and become self-support-
ing citizens. Doing this would
prevent over population of ur-
ban centers, tend to mitigate
problems and, as
Mr.. Mcclure says, fits in per-
fectly with the Administrations
aim to provide a solid econom-
ic found alton for our country.

 coneurrcntly with the anounce' mcnt that a new revision or tne bill has Just been completed, tno A.A.A. predicted that probably nn many aa twenty state lesislaturGb ity' during tho 1933 sessions.

 Among tho states whore m ng' gressivO campaign in behalf of the Legislation Is now underway nro: Alabama, Idaho. Michigan. Mss ouri. Minnesota, Pcnhssylvania' Washington and West Virgin'n' while many other states arc cx' pcctGd to join the procession.
 "The slfety-reBponsibllity bill, said Mr Augspurgor, "haS three primary objectiv0s; First. to pro. vIdc m incentive for careful ana safe driving and to control or eliminate the reckless and lrrc- spOnsibio operator; second, 10 coin' pol those drivers who have dchnon- Atrated their eklcssichs to csthp- fish evidence Of financial rcsponn- blIity for the future .hs f prcre- quiSite to their regalDing tho priv llege Of driving. and third. to fur. nisb an incentive for. payment CT otherwise unc0ilectible judgments arising from automobile accidents.

 Speaking of the favorable out- look for tho legislation, Mir Augs' burger said:
 Many special committees and Interim committees that have been studying the law in the various states have reached the c0Bclus sion that safety-responsIbiiity law, without interfering inc the least with tho careful driver. affords q powerful weapon for the control Of tic reckless and criminal 0ps orator who Is responsible for the great majority Of fatalities and in. 1uFfes.
