Twenty miles away I went over
Project SO. Here was better land,
less poverty and hopelessness. In
the narrow valleys of the 10000
acre project there were some
5000 acres Of fertile bottom land
Here the government would make
a great lake for both drainage and
recreational purposes.
On some of the uplands there
were apple orchards. Here tiny
flower gardens frightened the
drab homes. People were poor,
but there was none of the starva-

Lithuanian Americans did them
selves proud last Saturday after
noon in the elaborate ceremonies
dedicating the Lithuanian home at
the tercentenary settlement on
Chase park boulevard. Officials at
the village were not hesitarft to
state that the crowd was the larg-
est that has ever been present for
dedicatory exercises. Alderman
John w. Bender, chairman of the
Lithuanian home committee, today
stated that he wished to thank
everyone who assisted him in max
ing the affair the tremendous sue
cess that it was and that he APP
preciates the fact especially that so
many people were in attendance.
Alderman Bender in distributing
his thanks and appreciation was
not forgetful of those who appear
ed on the program, nor of the COM
mittee and individuals who help
ed to raise hte funds necessary to
build the home.

We went back to the car and
drove across a roaring, bridgeless
creek, and on up the red clay road.
The next shack was a little better.
Sure they'd. ,sell-although they
wasn't gettin' hear what they ought
to have for their land. Up the
creek they was payin' 50 an acre
fer land not near as good as this.
But they'd have to let the govern
ment people have it.
At a dozen of these poor noun
tain homes we found the same
general condition. The timber
was gone, the soil has been wash
ed away and there was no way for
these Ozark folks to make a liv-
ing. They have to let the gov
eminent take their little farms
they had owned for generations.

A mile up the road we pulled
UP by a rickety old democrat
buggy, drawn by blind white
horse. A lean, pinch-faced man
and woman were leaning forward
half-bent in the front seat. A boy
about IL years old was standing
in the wagon bed behind.

woman told me. Were only rent
'ers. We don't know what'il hap
pen to us when the government
takes over the land on the pro-
ject. It'll be pretty hard for the
likes of us to get on another farm.
!. Times is awful hard. Last
year we had drought and this year
we've had floods"
The Bankhead bill is to help
just such unfortunates as these.
1t would buy up large tracts of
land and then put these disinher-
tied and forgotten men on small
farms, and let them pay for them
over the years.
I know little of the measures
practical possibilities as to financ-
ing and administration, but after
spending several days among the
people of the lower depths on
those sub-marginal lands, it be-
comes apparent that life could be
made pleasant and livable here in
this gentle climate of the Ozarks.
There is room here for hundred
thousand and more new families
on small plots Of ground. No for
tune awaits them, but here can
be found a way of living.
I'VE are about to develop new
pattern for life here in the
Ozarks," o. L. McMurray, the
county agent of Fayetteville, said
to me with considerable enthusi-
asm. ION 40-acre homesteads
families can live comfortably and
happily. Right here in this sec
tion they could have for cash
crops three or four acres of straw
berries that should gross them $50
an acre; three or four acres Of
tomatoes, bringing them in a gross
of around $35 an acre; they
should sell two or three fat pigs
and chickens and eggs; and they
should sell two or three fat pigs
and chickens and eggs; and they
should raise almost everything
they seat. Besides their house and
fuel and their fod they should
have a cash income Of at least
$500 a year. Here in this mild
climate they should have a little
car and a radia and live like
kings"
