One Third of Farm Families Living in
"Slum" Conditions, According to Survey

One out of every three farm fam
lies in the United States is living
in "slum" conditions, according to
a survey completed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Findings Of the survey were based
on three-year study by the bureau
Of agricultural economics and the
Farm Security administration. The
study included approximately TO-
DOC, 900 rural families.
1T is a conservative estimate,"
the report said. "that one-third Of
the farm families of the nation are
living on standards of living so low
as to make them slum families"
Poverty is as abject and as wide
spread in rural areas as in the most
crowded sections of many large
cities, the report said. Among near
" half of the farm population living
conditions were said to be Sub
standard"
These conditions were said to
have existed for many years and
to have been aggravated by the de-
preston. Fifty years ago three out
Of every four farmers owned the
land they titled. Now only q few
more than half own their land. In
1895 there were Z, 1865 900 tenant fam
lilies and the number was increas-
ing by 200. 900 q year.

Of which there were 2,700,000 in

use Roses al Food

The Chinese serve fritters on
their New Years day made from
rose petals. Years ago rosebuds
were served on tables like radishes.
One Of the legends is that Cupid,
hurrying to a council Of deities on
Olympus with a vase Of nectar, fell
and spilled the contents. Roses
sprang from this nectar. One of the
myths pertaining to roses, notes a
writer in the Rural New Yorker, is
that Milo, a maid, gave flowers to
Venus. This maid had a tunor on
the chin and Venus told her to apply
roses from the altar to the swelling
as q cure. The rose is used in arts
and sciences and is related to the
apple, pear and berries.
