Three Improvements

He believes that wise legislation
could be put into action and three
important improvements could be
brought about.
Q) Powerful incentive for the ten
ant to conserve the soil since he
would reap the benefits.
CD Much more careful selection of
tenants. since removal of poor ten
ants would be more difficult.
(3) Improved community status Of
those tenants who become estab-
lished under arrangements of this
kind.
Such is a brief summary of the
goals studied in typical research
now being done for the benefit Of the
farmer.
Unfortunately, however, as | said
earlier, politics is bound to play a
powerful role in the effort to secure
any wise legislation" and, with self
ish interests, will make up the chief
obstacle.
Circumstances will force action in
regard TO the reeonversion and adj
justment Of industry in the present
session Of congress but it would be
an optimist indeed who would pre-.
dict that constructive farm legisla.
ton could be carried out in an cleo.
ton year. The farm lobby Is one
Of the most powerful in congress
but unfortunately pressure exerted
by it frequently fails to have for its
objective the general good Of the
country. Proponents OF certain
measures may be really honest in
expressing the wish Of their particu-
lar constituents but the farm prob.
lem in America is so closely inter.
woven with every phase Of our life,

Washington. u. G.
Ever since the beginning Of the
year. Washington has realized that
one Of the most important problems
before II Is rehabilitation.
It isn't a future problem. It's
here.
Nearly a million and a quarter
men have already been discharged
ifrom the army and navy since Pearl
tHarbor. More than $4,000 were
physically disabled" but excepting
the severely wounded. most Of these
a be absorbed into civilian activi.
ties.
Reconversion of our economic and
social structure Is beginning.
Two weeks ago. l discussed at
some length In this column. the
George report on re~eonversion. Since
then has come the Baruch report on
the same subject. which was rapidly
followed by executive action. II
looked as II congress and the White
House were in a race to see who
would be first to start the colossal
job.
While attention Is being eentered
on readjustment Of industry. less at.
tention has been paid publicly to the
necessary readjustments in agricul-
ture which must come. Because
llmany starving peoples will have to
be fed for some two years after the
war is over. the demand on the
farmers for production Of food and
textiles should continue on somewhat
the same basis as at present. But
adjustments will have to be made
whether or not this high rate of
production is maintained because
any changes in our economic life
are bound to affect the farmers.
One Of the most important recent
contributions to this planning for the
adjustment of agriculture has been
made by DIR. Murray r. Benedict,
q Wisconsin farm boy who is now a
professor of agriculture in the Uni
versity of California. lie points out

It must be remembered that up
