The Farmer’s Day Again
On the Boardman project 16 good ranches have
been sold and the end is not in sight. 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.
