Describing Soil Misuse
8 AN FRANCISCO (UP) Mliuu of
ths agricultural land of tha TJnltad
ststas bat Jeopardized ths draara of
a great, prosperous and ststole Amsr
Scan democracy, according to Dr.
trwla C. Gray. sxecutlvs aecretary
of President Rooaerelt'i committet
on farm tenancy.
Dr. Oray aUo la director of ths
division of land utilization of the
nrettlement admlnlitratlon. a mem
ber of the governments great plains
committee and vartoua other govern
mental organizations for the bring
ing about land reform and conser
vation of resources.
A large part of th nation's land
resources ' are gone. Dr. IjswIs de
clared, and much of the remainder
Is In s state of deterioration.
The greatest danger to the United
States as a -whole. Dr. Oray foresees.
Is the creation of an Immense land
Ires, homeless and wandering class
that would start the decay of Amer
ican Institutions from within.
' Cites World History , .
. "Th decay of many nations," he
declared, "has begun with th re
volts of lsndless populations. This
wss th ess of ancient Rome just
s It was with modern Russia, and
It wss for thst reason that Ksrl
Marx ohoss as a basis for his soc
, lsllstlo theories the possession of
lend.
"Our land problems of today have
teen faced by other nations and
peoples for centuries past and ar
th tarn a ban caused the dltsp
pearanc of many nations from ths
arth.
"In our present highly Industrial
ized life, w have lost sight of the
agrloultural needs of ths country
until floods, drouths, dust storms,
tenants' unions, and farmers' strikes
hare called our attention to them,
while at th earns time they have
started th roaming about th coun
try of a vast number of homeless,
landless people who may eventually
constitute th nuoleus of a revolting
element against American Institu
tions. Revolution always beglne eas
iest Willi dissatisfied agrloultural
clssses."
Low Income Group Grows -
Dr. Lewis declared thst one-fourth
nt the population of th United
States depends upon agriculture, yet
th condition of a vast number of
these people Is pitiful In ths ex
treme degree. He ssld that there
now are 1,000.000 farmers who hsve
sn Income of less than 9400 a year
and nearly twice that number who
ar little better off.
There ar 1,000,000 farmers that
do not stay on their farms for more
then a yesr, he ssld, for the reason
that they have either mis-used the
lend to such an extent thst It csn
no longer be worked profitably or
thst they were never suited for sgrl
eultursl pursuits.
Dr. Lewis ssserted there srs two
tilings necessary 4o save what should
ordinarily be the most stable and
soundest clsss In American life. First
Is to crest a vsst clsss of small
landed farm. - proprietors who csn
profitably work their land on a per
manent basis and, second, to crests
In th American mind th conscious
ness that land ownership offers not
only a means of making a living
but Involves a responsibility toward
th nstlon.
Warns of Speculation
Steps, he declared, must be taken
to prevent all misuse and deteriora
tion of land, apeculstlon and every
thing else which Is not only exhaust
ing th nation's land resources but
bresklng up ths possibility of a per
manent, prosperous class of farmers
and Isnd owners.
At present. Dr. Lewis said, only
bslf of the nation's farmers enjoy
anything Ilk economic security,
while many of ths others hsve been
reduced to th status either of ten
ants, laborers or evsn crop sharers.
Dr. Lewis advocated a system that
will permit a vast amounts of land
to revert to th government, which
will be charged with Its redistribu
tion in such a manner as to maks It
profitable to those who work ss well
s to insure conservation ss part of
th national resources for future gen-siatlons.

ST. PAUL (UP) Young men who

woe to th escort who forgots thst

Neatness was a requisite and the

Other points stressed by the co

selves th right to "hand out a llns,"
Included:
"Young men should know their

"Tell the girl she looks nice, but

"Have Ideas of -your own. men
