The commissioner did not state, however, what

in the stricken area. He gave opinion where they
could be moved to. Mead emphasized that the land
should have been cultivated since there is,
in normal times, insufficient rainfall to sustain nten-
sve agriculture Even if this drought broken, he said
another is bound to follow.
This announcement is entirely in line with rhe state
ments of Under Secretary of Agriculture Tugwel, who
in explaining the policy of the Roosevelt administration
has time and again announced that there two million
farmers too many in the country These farmers have
to be eliminated, taken out of production.
This policy announced first by Tugwel on Oct.
3d. 1888. Up until the administration has dared
not to undertake definite steps to cut out farmers

made about the irrigated FARMS little plots of land on
which farmers supposed to grow most of the things

that the American farmer is to be pushed down to
lower standard of living than that of the European
peasant The proud conquerers of the wilderness, the
homesteaders and pioneers the men and women who
first built this country, thousands of the in fact two
