Too Many Farmers?
IN WASHINGTON


WHY, with the increased de-
w mand for farm products
and the fact that farming is
more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its history, is there a
continual and rapid decrease in
farm population?
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics in answer to that question
told this reporter that the basic rea-
son is simply that there are too
many farmers. AS matter of fact,
the farmers can do the job they are
doing with many less farmers than
there are today.
Actual farm population of the
country as of January l this
year was 27,439,00O which is
decrease of three million since
1910. So in seven years there
was migration of three mil
lion persons away from the
farms and to the cities.
Even so, there are still more than
enough farmers to do the gigantic
job of production which has been
asked of the farmers of the nation,
for one out of every three adult per-
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1948-10-08

sons who live on farms has either
a part-time or full-time job in the
cities and towns.
In 1914 which was one of the peak
years of farm production there were
only 25,63O,0OO persons living on
farms, the main reason being that
the young men had gone to war.
There simply isn't room
enough or work enough on the
farms to take up the population
born on farms. Farm pOpula-
ton would double itself in
generation. The birth rate in
the rural areas is 1871 as COM
pared to Ill in urban areas to
every 1000.
For three decades, chronological
development, increased yields per
acre despite rapid population in
creases of the nation as a whole and
consequent increased demands for
more food, have brought about
trend of migration away from the
farms. And were it not for the high
er standard of living brought about
by the advent Of electricity and 9TH
er convenienceS on farms, this mi
grafton would be even more rapid
than it is today.
Machine and power tools, better
housing and schools, the autorno-
bile-all have been a deterrant to
prevent this out-farm movement,
but it hasn't been enough and the
simple fact remains that the nation
still could do with fewer farmers
and still produce sufficient guam
titles of food to feed the country and
part of the world.
Even back in 1880 when there
were not many jobs in cities,
one out of seven farmers went
to the cities to work. In 1910
one out of five farmers worked
in cities and towns and as point
ed out above, today one out of
three adults make their living
or part of it working off the
farms. While this migration
has been mostly from the
smaller and less economically
prosperous farms, even on large
commercial farms and the bet
ter family-size farms the ratio
of adults working in the cities
holds good.

Care of Shrubs

Safe OF Shru6S
Shrubs require much less water
an dmuch less work than annual
flowers. Proper care, such as prun-
ing, spraying, busting and fertiliz-
ing, is important, of course, but
shrubs have fewer destructive in
sects and diseases to combat than
do tender plants. In selecting
shrubbery 1T is better to concen-
trate on six or seven favorite var
ieties. The bridal wreath, forsyth
ia or golden bells, philadelphus or
mock orange, and red bud are some
of the plants which produce early
spring blossoms and make excel
lent additions to the landscape.

Cabinet Post

Many of the political dopesters
here say that the next secretary of
agriculture, if Governor Dewey is
elected, will be Congressman Cliff
ford Hope of Kansas, chairman Of
the house agricultural committee.
Probably standing head and Shout
ders above Congressman Hope as a
statesman is Sen George D. Aiken
(Rep., Vt), who will head the SEN
ate agricultural committee in the
8lst congress, and who is author of
the new long-range farm bill. But
Senator Aiken is too independent
and too liberal.
This column predicts the next
secretary of agriculture, provided,
of course, Dewey is the choice of
the people, will be someone like
Milton Eisenhower, president of
Kansas State college and brother
of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower.

Lamb Prices

Lamb prices fell from a high of
near 81 cents per pound in jan
uary, 1920, to a low of about 8
cents in December of the same
year. Australian and New Zea-
land exports of frozen lamb and
mutton to this country were held
responsible for the sudden break
in the market. A large number
of flocks have been liquidated,
which caused a glutted market
and even lower prices. The gen.
eral depression which by this
time has affected practically
every branch of production as
sisted in accelerating the decline
in value of sheep and lambs.

Krug Urges U. s. to Retain Coastal Shelf Off States

WASHINGTON, (P)-The peo- pie of the United States cannot afford ito make a gift" of the oil rich coastal lands along the na- tion's shores to a few states, secre- tary of interior Krug contended yesterday.
 He told a joint Senate-Hause ju- dietary subcommittee that the coastal shelf off the United States and Alaska may contain 100 bill lion barrels of oil.
 This reserve, he said, is vital to the economy and defense of the country as a whole.
 Krug was the second cabinet member to go before the commit tee to oppose legislation which would turn all submerged lands over to the states. His testimony backed up that of attorney gen. eral Clark.
 Both Clark and Krug spoke in support of an administration bill which would give title to the sub merged lands to the federal gov ernment but would permit leasing them for oil. The bill would grant 371s per cent of the revenue from off-shore oil to the bordering states and place 5212 per cent in

Council Up A Tree Over Partition
(BY Larry Hauck)

LAKE SUCCESS, &-The se- curity council is stuck on what to do about Palestine, and delegates took a 24-hour recess yesterday to do some private talking about the problem.
 The official reason given for the one-day adjournment was the ill- ness of Camille Glamour, special Lebanon representative in the council. The unofficial reason is that United Nations delegates want more time to try and work something out.
 Before the council adjourned Wednesday it became apparent that at least a portion of the American resolution on Palestine partition is headed for defeat. Canada and China joined Belgium and Syria in opposing a section calling upon the council to accept the partition scheme as laid down by the 1947 U. N. assembly.
