BABSON DISCUSSES WHERE 10 LOCATE

Babson Park, Mass Feb. %.
During these cold winter months,
I get many letters asking where
to locate to get an easy living.
Frankly. I DO not know Of any such
locations.
Every State Has Advantages
Every one Of our 4s states and 3
territories has its advantages and
disadvantages. The South is very
attractive during the winter sea-
son; but its summers do not en-
courage ambition and progress. The
Pacific Coast has a wonderful cli-
mate; but is becoming overpopu-
lated by job seekers. New England
leads in educational facilities: but
it is handicapped by high-cost
power and by its distance from
both raw materials and markets.
The Central West appears to be
the surest place to make a living
but it holds few speculative op-
portunities,-not so many as does
the Southwest, such as Texas. Two
hardy young people with self-con-
troll could probably save money
easiest in Alaska; while Washing
ton, D. G. would be the most
difficult place to lay up savings.
Unfortunately, the saying Easy
come easy go applies to every
part of our great country.
What About Big Cities?
I advise young people not to
settle in our biggest cities. This
advice applies especially to large
seaboard cities such as Boston.
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Los Angeles. and even san Fran
cisco. Because Of the automobile
and the trek to the suburbs. these

OFF-THE-FARM JOBS


An interesting sidelight of the so-called
farm problem" which is really a complex
of related problems, is the fact that many
farmers are earning extra money away from
the home place.
This is noteworthy because it eases the
pressure on farmers who are caught in a
Tightening squeeze between lowered income
and a steady or rising cost of living. 1t is
also important because Of the changes it is
bringing in rural life.
Back in 1947, says the department, far
mers earned only % per cent of their income
away from home. BY 1852, off-the-farm in
come had risen to 26 per cent Of the total
Last year it was up to 2812 per cent, and
this year it will be an estimated 50 per cent.
The u. S. Census Bureau says that 3615
per cent of all our farm residents are work
ing at non-farm jobs this year. Five years
ago the 0ff-the-farm workers totaled 30.1
per cent of farm dwellers, while in 1910
only 21.4 per cent of farm residents worked
elsewhere.
The trend is clear. It's import-the ma
LIre and extent of its impact on rural Am
erica and, for that matter, on our whole
economy-it not nearly so clear. But Ger
tainly it is a trend for Congress to bear in
mind when new farm legislation is written.

the higher price of money.
