Agricultural Head Would
Make Farm Attractive to
All Ages and Thus
Solve A Problem That Is More
Grave Than the City Man
Even Suspects
By J. R. Howard,
President American Farm Bureau
Federation.
(Editor's Note-J. R. Howard is
president of the American Farm Bu
reau Federation, an organization of
American rural dwellers, of progres
sive, thinking farmers. What he has
to say strikes a note that may sound
alarming until one reads his offered
solution. The happiness of children
on the farm is a matter that is of
vital importance to you.)
Here and there a hilltop eighty
has worn out and lies beneath the
sun indifferent to the seeds in its
keeping, to the hungry who tramp
over it. Hills that never failed the
buffalo for nobody knows how many
thousand years, are gray with the ex
haustion of extensive production.
So long as the sod was unbroken
the fertility of the soil remained in
tact. The pioneers who broke the
seal from the soil richer than crea
tion. For under the unhampered
government of Mother Nature all
plants give back their surplus at the
end of every summer. The first
wheat field waxed golden on the
legacy of the frugal prairie grass.
The first corn fields spent riotously
the compounded interest of centuries
of the earth's careful savings of plant
food. And the farmers fed their
crops on the soil's store for so many
years before it became noticeable
that the principal was being touched,
that the supply was unconsciously
supposed to be inexhaustible. We
sowed intensively, reaped bounteous
ly, and then burned the straw and
stubble complacently. So long as
the virgin qualities of the soil, under
a system of wasteful soil mining, sup
ported a relatively spare population
we were not worried about the fu
ture. And now many an aonemic
field dots the countryside in mute
reproach.
There Is No Waste.
Fortunately, rowever, farmers are
awakening to the fact that soil must
be revitalized. Public opinion for
bids the burning of straw. Legumes
have been put to making hay and
nitrogen. Fertilizer companies are
doing business. Phosphate and lime
stone deposits are being distributed.
The hilltop eighties are being re
juvenated. Just as the land has been
devitalized, here and there a farm
community has worn out. The church
door has been nailed shut. The
school house is out of date. The
children of the- old homestead have
moved to town and the farms are
now the abodes of transient families
who hope to get enough ahead to
move to town also.
No nation has ever risen above the
level of its agriculture and the dead
communities scattered through the
United States are comparable to the
white alkali patches on the hilltop
eighty. And if allowed to spread
will ruin our country just as sure as
blight will wipe out an apple orchard
The worst of it is that the worn
out community is not necessarily the
one where the land is past produc
tion. If that were the case the
building up of the soil would bring
a flow of new blood baok into the
personnel of the occupants. It is of
ten in our richest sections that the
human force of agricultural produ&
tion is at low ebb.
We are used to thinking when we
speak of agricultural production, of
grain and livestock, cotton and wool,
lumber and fruit. But the open
country has an important product in
boys and girls who constantly feed
our cities.
Reputed History.
The history of the pulseless com
munity is well known. The pioneer
father who thrust his plow into the
unbroken prairies was as vital as his
acres. He had come to the new
country to make a home. His neigh'
bors were home builders. The noa
interference of outside world, need
for protection and common ideals
fostered social contact. They were
the best type of humanity, being the
kind who were not contented to be
poor in the state or the foreign coun
try from which they came. Since
they were in their new homes to stay
they set about making their com
munities fit places in which to live
They built school houses and church
es at the same time they broke the
sod and put up their barns. The next
generation took up community build
ing at the point left off by their par
ents. ' The old homestead was kept
in the family all members of which
started out equally. If anything, the
Court of Morrow County, Oregon, made
and entered on the 10th day of May,
1922.

boy whose lot it was to stay home
and run the farm was considered to
be a bit better off than the boys who
had studied pedagogy or medicine, or
letters. Fortune had not overtaken
the pioneer people yet. but they rea
soned that it was a new country, and
the future was promising.
About three generations away from
the pioneers the real exodus begins.
little visiting back and forth with
the members of the family who had
cast their lot in the cities and towns
makes the children wonder if the lot
of the brother to remain on the fam
ily homestead is the one to be cher
ished. A Shadowed Picture.
And by this time there is a little
less hope for the future. Three or
four generations of unfulfillment is
not very conducive to the virility of
hope. The old homestead is rented
to a class or people not quite pro
gressive enough to get away. The
community immediately loses much
of its stability. There is no com
munity pride for these people except
to move again in a year or so and
naturally do not feel responsibility
in their temporary arrangement And
where the profits of the land must
be shared between two families, the
landlords and the tenants, there is
nothing left to devote to the ideal
community center. The taxpayers are
away from the land and are therefore
not personally and subjectively in
terested in the church, schools and
social phase of their neighborhood.
There is such a constant shifting of
residents that organization is difficult.
There are no local allurements and
ties and as soon as a member rises
above the level of his environment
he goes to the city where more is
promised him, even if it is not al
ways given.
In the meantime the descendants
of the first farmers have either lost
out in the demands of city life and
are finding their mess of potage as
day laborers, or they have prospered
and forgotten the farm from which
they received their birthright. And
most of them do prosper. It has
been said that 94 per cent of the
leading citizens of one of our large
Eastern cities was brought up on a
farm. Of a group of 100 representa
tive men, commercial and profession
al, in Chicago, I found that 85 per
cent came from the country. More
than 60 per cent of the men and
women listed in "Who's Who" are
likewise from the country.
The successful ones return to the
country and build palatial homes and
estates and constitute the highly ed
ucated landlord class. Is the country
slowly differentiating into this and
the propertyless laboring classes?
If America becomes the home of
landowners and peasants we will
have failed our Pilgrim fathers mis
erably and inexcusably.
A Good Example.
I have not been discussing the
United States on an average. I have
chosen the wornout community and
the womout farm as signals of dan-
ger ahead. Like we sometimes go
through the barrel and pick certain
apples.
There is no doubt but that the root
of the evil is the prevailing economic
injustice dealt the farmfng industry
The farmers themselves are the ones
who will have to change this system
They cannot all walk off and leave
it. Moving to town may solve the
problems and better the finances of
the individual but toll will be taken
later on a national basis.
The farmers who deny their chit
dren the emancipation of liberal edir
cation likewise drain the fertility of
the neighborhood. The physical la-
bor is returned with the personal in
terest in the individual farm; the
wheat is usually properly stacked,
and the hogs well housed. But these
are the farmers who ride the plow in
disgruntled objection to the world
market conditions with which they
are unfitted to combat. Their vision
is as narrow as their Iass. They
are the fanners whose blind refusal
to join in co-operative marketing, be
lieve in the Farm Bureau, and be in
dependent in politics, holds back rur
al progress. By the hardest work and
the closest saving they usually man
age to get more or less ahead finan
cially, but they do not go about it in
the way that benefits the whole com
munity conditions. And where silos
make proud the landscape while
house church and school squat apol
ogetically in their shadows there is
no real wealth.
If sending our young folks away
to be educated does not pay us any
thing in our own communities: if
ignoring the possibilities of education
is dangerous, it must be the system
of education that is at fault.
To Retain Color.
I would not strike from the readers
the romance and the glamour of the
other worlds, but I would include
stories which throw a little color
around the farmers' lives. I would
include in the geographies studied in
the country schools a bit more of
agricultural detail. I should like to
see the beginner trace through the
copy book some such sentence as, "I
am proud to be a farmer," or "United
we farmers stand, divided we fall."
I would bring the high schools within
home distance of every country boy
and girl. I would put rural sociology
in every freshman course and con
tinue the study throughout the four
years. I would have our Agricultural
Colleges teach marketing as well as
production, reaping as well as sow
ing. I wish that there might be instilled
in the minds of all country boys and
girls a feeling of responsibility for
the farm a feeling that no matter
what work they might take up they
owned a return to their country com
munity in service that they were
not free from obligation until they
had paid back to country life the in
. , 1, . ,
trest on the capital they ook-that j
the members of the family who go ;
out to be lawyers and doctors and;
merchants and bankers realize that
they were indebted for their success
to the training and strength and ide
als they received from their rural en
vironment and that even if they are
temperamentally and naturally un
suited to take the lot of the man who
stays behind to feed the rest, they
have a debt of honor to pay the one
who does, and that to the soil and the
community they must give back. The
tree takes food and sap from the
ground in the spring, gives service! from which port they will take pass
to the world in the summer, and then age for Sweden May 27th. Mr. Berg-
