SHIFTING IDLE TO FARMH
The government's effort to place unemployed city workers
on farms where they can ' support themselves and! their
families constitutes one of the most interesting experiments
.' in the' entire recovery program. Interior Secretary Ickes,
under presidential order) will have $25,000,066 to spend on
the endeavor. The consequences may well be more far-
reaching; than the modest beginning indicates.
What' to do with hundreds of thousands of workers peima
! nently displaced in industry has been one of the riiost.baf--'
fling problems of ' the economic and social 'reorganization: now
being attempted.
,Cpal mining furnishes a case in' point.'.. Authorities esti

favorable circumstances. There is no longer sufficient de-
