The Drouth and Farm Income


(New York Herald ribune)
The average person who has been
reading since last May and June of
the march of the drouth over encrm-
Gus areas Of the Midwest and North
west and who no doubt has, in con-
sequence, been entertaining serious
misgivings as TO its possible effect on
the fall recovery Of business must have
been pleasantly shocked and a little
puzzled by the recent announcement
Of the Department Of Agriculture that
farm income in 1884, far from being
below last years would probably show
an increase Of approximately $780,
100000.
In its current monthly letter the
National City Bank does much to ex-
plain for the layman the reasons for
the apparent contradiction in the
farm picture. In the first place, it
points out, the average of prices on
the farm on August Is was 20.8 per
cent above year ago. What IS more
significant and what comparatively
few people realize, however, IS that
despite the political importance Of the
Western grain belt, in which the
drouth did its most serious damage,
economically it is generally consider
ably overrated. It will probably sur
prise those who are only casually in
formed on the sources Of farm incomes
to know that only about one-third OF
the total farm income Of 1888 was
derived from, the territory worst az
fected by the drouth-that is, the tier
Of states from the Dakotas and Mon
tana down to the Mexican border be-
tween the Mississippi and the Rock
les. Another third IS derived from
the partially affected east-central
states, and the remaining third from
all the others, which were largely UNI
affected.
"The agricultural Importance Of
the Eastern industrial states" we are
reminded by the economist of the
City Bank, lis frequently not realized.
It may be news to some that farmers
IN the North Atlantic and New Eng
land states received as much for their
milk, eggs and chickens in 1888 as all
the wheat growers in the country re-
ceived for their wheat. In the same
year the dairy cattlemen Of New York
State alone received more for their
milk than the hog raisers Of Iowa
received for their hogs. Throughout
the depression fruits and vegetables
have put more cash into farmers
pockets than all the grains combined
or ali cotton and cottonseed combin-
ca, and the fruit and vegetable crops
this year are generally good except in
the heart Of the drouth country. Six.
ty per cent OF the income from this
source comes from territory almost
totally unaffected by the drouth."
TO many persons, reading these fig
ures will be like discovering new and
undreamed Of economic resources. But
that Is one Of the amazing things
about this country of ours. Few Of VI
realize or appreciate how bounttful
Mature really Is with us. It is pref
~ difficult to incapacitate us all q
once-or. for that matter, any cousid-
sgehle part Of Us.

Planning for the Mississippi
Valley

No more striking reversal Of gov
eminent policy has ever been OBJ
served in this country than that
which deals with the use of the ma
tional land resources. The United
States achieved a reputation through
out the world as Land of oppor-
tunity' through the opening Of the
Mississippi drainage basin for settle
ment. Through the Louisiana pur-
chase at the beginning of the 10th
century, the government acquired a
vast unsettled domain, and proceeded
to make the acquisition of farms as
simple as possible. Toward the end
Of the century. farm homesteads were
virtually given away by the federal
government.
Settlers were encouraged to till the
virgin soil for all it was worth. Rail-
roads were built into all sections to
carry away the products Of the farms
and to carry to the farmers the prod
ucts of industry that would make
farming yield more for each day of
labor than 1t ever had yielded before
anywhere in the world. The forests
and streams and mineral resources
we're exploited along with the soil
until, according to Morris L. Cooke,
chairman of the Mississippi Valley
committee, a danger point has been
reached.
In an article in the New York
Times, Sept. 9, Mr.. Cooke writes that
the now almost incalculable wealth
If this tremendous area, covering
.,235,00o square miles and inhabited
~ 4s,ooo.o 900 people, can not be saved
except by careful, continuous and CO.
ordinated planning He asserts that
without planning We face a disaster
as certain as tomorrow's sunrise
With planning We can raise the
whole level Of life in the Mississippi
Valley and make it yield not only an
increased supply of material goods
but those immaterial satisfactions
without which human existence is
meaningless"
The planning Mr.. Cooke has in
mind is that of reforestation and
flood control, in particular, with wa
ter power resources conserved and
harnessed. In the last century, and
until recently, private exploitation of
all these resources was encouraged.
Now the government proposes to put
on a severe check-repair the soil
damages done by erosion and destruc-
ton of the forests and otherwise reg
ulate human activities. so as to per-
init the general re-enrichment of the
region.

HOOVER STILL HAS FANS

Somebody In Washington cares
what Herbert Hoover says.
His first piece on liberty came out
In the Saturday Evening Post on
Tuesday. On Wednesday there wasn't
q copy to be had In Washington. BY
Thursday the distributors had six
men securing the town to pick up
just one copy for filing purposes.
But 23,500 copies had sold out clean,
an increase Of $500 over usual Wash
ington figures. And there weren't
any more.
Even II every reputed member Of
the Brain Trust had bought copy to
pick to pieces, it wouldn't account
for that many.

PACIFIC AIRMAIL FIRST

Despite the ballyhoo for trans
Atlantic airmail service, put down
your bets that trans-Pacific service
will come first. Harllee Branch, first
assistant to Postmaster General
James A. Farley, isn't in Alaska for
his health. He's looking over the
possibilities Of regular airmail from
Alaska over the Boring Strait to Rus.
STA and Japan.
It would connect at this end with
regular seaplane service to Alaska,
and with the Chinese lines at the
other. Lindbergh didn't 60 over this
route couple Of years ago for his
