reation, increased security and better living.
This does not mean cities will be aban-
doned. 1t means, rather, that they will ex-
pand from their industrial cores to include
more rural homes in their eavirons.
From coast to coast you can see evidence
of the growing trend toward this way of life
More Americans are buying farms today than
ever before, and one third of these purchasers
are city people. A recent poll of workers in
the Kaiser shipyards on the West Coast
showed that 81 per cent of them plan 10 buy
land with their wartime savings. Around New
York and other eastern cities, it is next to
impossible to buy small farm. The demand
for acreage among industrial workers in the
Detroit area is 50 great that number Of
them have bought plots sight unseen, to their
sorrow, from INSCRIPTIONS spectators.
Land Doem
AS A matter OF fact, there is land boom on.
Right now farm prices are az per cent above
prewar levels and Secretary of Agriculture
Claude Wickard has had to warn the public
against being taken IN by real-estate sharpers.
Now why is it, in this industrial age. that
50 many people are thinking again of the sod?
Why does everyone want little farm near
the city? Or. if not that, few acres in the
country where the family can camp out for
vacations and week ends with the thought Of
building it up to real country home over the
years? asked Jim Hastings his own reasons
for becoming part-time farmer.
First of all. he said he finds it grand recrea-
ton. Doing manual work in the open air is
much better fun, he thinks, than the things
which used to cost him money in town -
bowling, going to ball game, drinking beer
in bar, or playing bridge in stuffy apart
ment. And he and his wife have recreational
facilities which they didn't have in town =
badminton court, croquet lawn, and out
door fireplace.
As for the children - Jim has two small

as city people everywhere find it desirable

Each great war has been followed by

present war, we will sec another trek,
but this time it will take a new form.
Most of the best farming land in this coun-
try has long been settled. Advances in agri-
culture are making it possible for fewer COM

to the land will follow pattern called rurbani-
