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.
