Income from farming is NneVenly
diVided. Only THE top tbird of the
saati0n's 100000 farmers are reap
ing the present bigb-leveI incomes
for agricultural produce. The mid

no more than $4OO q year, according
to estimates from census statistics
based on 1914 reports.
All these organizations are agreed
on general detectives. Briefly these
detectives are:
I To provide more opportunities

country.
= To establish better rural health

7 To provide more rural recre-

leisure.
A To discover civic and cultural
T. outlets that will add to a feel
ing Of appreciation of the impor-

The work to be done In this
broad program does not concern
farm people alone. Every small
town has a stake in it. Whether
the towns Of the future grow in
importance or languish depends
on keeping a happy and salts
fed population both in the towns
themselves and the country
roundabout.
Ways to do this are what the lead
ers of local community enterprise
will have to discover. A knowledge
of what has been done by communi-
ties that have made notable prog

In the final phase hogs will be
