CITIES LOSE LURE AS YOUTH'S TREND IS NOW TO Million More Are in Rural Districts Today Than in 1930 Opportunity De creased by Frontier End By FRPD BAILEY United Press Staff Correnpondent WASHINGTON. (UP) The Cities have lost their lure for farm boys and girls, according to M. L. Wilson, undersecretary of agriculture. Not many years ago a large per centage of farm boys and girls went to the city to seek their fortunes, Now, because Jobs are scarce In cities, they are staying on the farms. Reports gathered by the depart ment of agriculture Indicate there are approximately 7.000,000 young people between the ages of 10 and 36 on farms. In 1030 there were 6,857.000. Wilson estimated that If tf:e pres ent trend continues there will be 7,170,000 youths on farms by 1040, The largest Increases have been on farms producing Incomes so low that adequate education becomes virtu ally impassible. Village Poverty Worst In addition to form youths, there are approximately 4.300,000 people . between the ages of 1ft and 20 living In small towns and villages, where, Wilson sold, "poverty during the depression has probably been more Intense Hi an on the farm or In the big urban centers." Of the total farm population, 31.0 percent are youths from 1ft to 39 years old, whereas only 17.1 percent of the total non-farm population Is Jn this age group. Even at the peak of national pros perity In 1020 there were 3.000,000 boys and girls between 1ft and 25 years old on farms which yielded less than 1600 gross Income for that pear. Agriculture officials believe thnt number much larger now. In 1030 there were 1,600,000 farm youths In homes receiving government relief. The depression, Wilson said, "closed the door of opportunity" to millions ef farm youths. Trend Is Reversed Because of those closod doors In 1 ties, migration from farms to cities almost ceased. In fact during the past five years more young people have gone from cities to farms than from farms to cities. This clty-to-farm migration, Wil son said, resulted In "exceptionally severe competition among rural youth Who wero attempting to get started In farming." Because most of the tnlgrantn to farms had little or no capital tho farm relief situation was Intensified. A long-range factor contributing largely to lack of farm opportunities Is the fact that the nation no longer has a geographic frontier to which young people can go to find oppor tunities In farming. The advice many years ago of Horace Oroeley: "Oo west, young man," Is no longer good for farm boys and girls. Itinerant farmers have created a serious relief problem In the west. Other factors are low farm Income robbing youths of opportunity to obtain nn education and other eco nomic sdvantages and ti:e depletion mt agriculture's natural resources, tending to force Income continually lower, Wilson said. 1 Menus of the Day HPA POLK WILL VOTE WASHINOTON.

NEW DIaTSTODYING LOIR EXEMPTIONS FOR INCOME; TIMES WASHINGTON, July M.(F) Ho well Mnglll, acting secretary of the treasury, announced today the aq- mlnlstrotlon was studying the feasi bility of lowering personal Income tax exemptions.
