On the Stan field project every farm that was for sale is reported sold. At Irrigon and around Hermiston likewise have been many transfers. The movement back to the land is very definite throughout the nation. In the middle west mortgage companies have disposed of their holdings acquired through foreclosure dur ing the days of the depression. State lands and farms taken by tax foreclosures by counties have been returned to the tax rolls and new and higher values have been established. The sound feature of the movement is that cash is paid and no heavy debts taken on by the wise far mers, many of whom remember the disastrous ef fects of mortgages when the depression came in the thirties. They are looking ahead to what might hap pen when the war is over. They figure that they can at least eat and have a roof over their heads and be independent of the sheriff if when, or if tight days come again. Also capital that can find no investment when money is cheap and has low rates of interest seems to find safe investment in lands and other proper ties. It is all making a backlog against a return to the terrible conditions of other days. Farmer leg islation has gained much this last decade and farm ing has come to be recognized as more essential to modern industrial life. Farming has also become more mechanized and more scientific. It is skilled labor just as much as that of the factory. During several decades after the civil war. and during the great development of our industrial life and centralization of population, the farmer was made “the goat” of our national pro gress. Through the results of cooperation, farmers’ organizations, and political farm blocks, agriculture has fought its way back to a proper place in the eco nomic life of the nation.
