Ten Per Cent Of Army Veterans Want 10 Be Farmers;

this group definitely plans to seek
governmental jobs. The federal
government now is by far the larg-
est employer in the country and the
monthly report Of the Civil Service
commission as of May 1, the lat
est report, shows paid employment
in continental United States totaled
1897, OFT, of which 2,001, 1856 were in
the war agencies. OF this number,
only 252,054 are in Washington.
While war cutbacks are expected
to decrease this number somewhat,
government work is expected to
maintain the upward trend which
has prevailed since the last war.
State and local governments nor
mally employ more than twice as
many persons as does the federal

farm youths who were in school and
were not classed actually as farm
erS.
Not Room for All on Land.
According to the army, the
chances are that the nations farms
will not be able to absorb all Of the
men planning to return to them, in
spite of the current shortage Of a
million farm workers. The army
says that rural areas normally pro-
duce more young men and women
than can be efficiently utilized on
the farm. The problem may very
well become acute considering the
wartime increase in farm produc-
ton achieved by more efficient use
of labor on fewer farms.
A little more perspective on the
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1945-08-17

problem may be had by further
analysis of the intentions of these
men definitely planning to farm. In
the first place, the survey makes
it clear that a much larger proper
ton of the men want to become
farm operators, by either buying or
renting, than were farm operators
before the war. A majority say
they can count on returning to a
tract of land which they or their
families own or they already
have in mind a specific piece OF
land they expect to buy or rent.
However, one out of every three in
dictate they will need to locate a
farm to rent or buy after leaving
the army.
So if the plans of all these pro-
spective farmers materialize, there
will be thousands of veterans look
ing for farms in the postwar period
and they very well may come
up against shortage of good land,
which may, too, be selling at much
higher prices than before the war.
So there is fear on the part of the
army that many of these men may
be forced to settle on cheaper sub
marginal land.
The army points out that relief
would be possible on this score II
large sections of public domain or
reclaimed land becomes available.
About one out of six veterans said
they would be willing to move on
such tracts of land.
The same thing is true with re-
spect to the farmer-serviceman as
with the prospective business man
/. most of them are thinking OF
investing sums ranging up to $4,000.
This may be compared with the de-
partment of agriculture estimates Of
$1,000 to $1,000 as the average cost
of the family sized farm, not count
ing necessary tools, equipment, live
| stock, etc. So these prospective
farmers will also need financial
help. How many will actually end
up on the farm will depend on this
aid, and on the comparative oppor-
| tunities offered by industry and ag-
riculture after the war.
In conjunction with the American
Historical association, the Armed
Forces institute has prepared a
booklet entitled "Shall I Take Up
Farming?" which is available at the
Government Printing Office, Wash
ington Is, D. c.
Most Will Work for Wages.
Of course by far the greatest seq
nent of the armed forces plan to
work for wages on their return. Two
aspects of the plans Of these four
million men are noteworthy. First,
only one-third of the white enlisted
men who were employees before
induction and plan to be employees
after the war, definitely expect to
60 back to their former employers.
Another one-third say they may re-
turn, but are not sure. This leaves
another million men who will either
migrate and move to other jobs or
who have learned new trades and
expect to do different work.
AS a matter of fact the tendency
among a large percentage Of these
servicemen is to aspire for work
calling for higher level Of skill and
in general, the proportion who plan
to pursue their prewar occupations
declines as one proceeds along the
occupational scale. Five per cent of

government, and the five years inn
mediately following the war are ex-
pected to see more than a million
and a quarter jobs opening in this
field.
Favorable employment opportuni-
ties and special considerations for
veterans are expected to draw prob
ably 10 per cent of the So per cent
who plan to work for wages and
salaries, into this federal, state and
local government field.
Many Returning to School.
Veterans counting on going back
to full-time school after the war is
nearing the 100000 mark.
That most of these will enter col
lege is indicated from the fact that
more than 9 in 10 are high school
graduates. The army points out
that this war has brought about the
first large decrease in college en-
rollment since the turn of the GEN.
fury and that non-military enroll
ments in colleges and universities
dropped A per cent after the first
two years of war. Civilian college
and university students in 1913 num-
bered smaller than 20 years ago.
The deficit of college trained men,
particularly acute in the liberal arts
and teaching fields, will continue to
accumulate as the war goes on. In
view Of these facts, it is interesting
to note that the two most popular
courses picked out by servicemen
are engineering and architecture,
and the liberal arts and sciences.
Engineering Most Popular.
Other courses mentioned include
business administration, pre-medic,
medicine and dentistry, agriculture,
law, education, journalism and the
ology. In general about one man
in five is considering courses of
study which can be classified as lib
eral arts and sciences, and the re-
mainder are thinking in terms Of
professional and technical speciai-
cation, with engineering leading the
field.
Another point Of particular sig
nificance is that this full-time school
course will take these men out of
the labor market, about half mill
lion of them. But the same thing
cannot be true of another large
group, about IS per cent additional,
or about 1900, 900, who plan to at
tend part-time school, that is work
and 60 to school at the same time.
Three-fourths of these students de-
sire trade and business school
courses. These also are in an older
group and about one-third are mar.
ried.
There is one more section Of vet
Grams which the survey classified.
These were a group Of about 8 per
cent, about 225, 900 who said they
definitely plan to stay in the army.
Up to more than 10 per cent who
would consider re-enlistment under
certain specific conditions. Two ma
jor considerations which will govern
the actions of this segment are ~
the terms under which re-enlist-
ments will be offered, including re-
tention of rank, choice Of service,
duration Of enlistment and opportu-
nifty for commissions, and ~ the
kind and opportunities for civilian
jobs which will be available after
the war. u.
