The public is invited. Hard Land Two farmers we re talking about how hard their land was during the recent spring drouth. Said the first: "My land was so hard that a two-horse plow with a sack of dirt on the beam wouldn't break it." "That's nothing,' said the other, "my dad's land was so hard he finally had to take a brace and bit and bore holes to plant his corn!" Perspires Freely Teacher—How do you account for the phenomenon of dew? Student—The earth revolves on its axis every twenty-four hours, and in consequence of the tre mendous pace, it perspires freely. n KYES- Dirtdor, National Farm Youth Foundation AMERICA IN REVERSE It has taken us a little more than a generation of so-called progress to change the United States from a nation of security for the majority of its population _ of men by ma chines. They rec ommended huge investments for mass production with the result that billions of dollars have been invested to reduce the cost of production. Unfortunately, a very impor tant factor was overlooked. In each case the production mech anism required was able to reach the highest efficiency only through the production of one item. America developed a one item industrialization and there in lies the "monkey wrench in the machinery." The physical plant and equip ment were localized. People mi grated to the industrial centers from the rural areas. The mi grants were mainly young men and young women who had been dazzled by the industrial cities. America provided a great do mestic market for industrial goods. So we proceeded to gear up and supply goods for that tool connections, beautiful chromium ull quality and compare its COMPLETE price.

The result was large scale in dustry with mass production; large scale transportation with massive, heavy trains and miles of expensive roadbed; and final ly, large scale farming of cash crops. These tremendous opera tions, when at full capacity, wore said by the industrial engineer to be efficient. With a virgin mar ket, the quantities of goods re quired for mass production were easily sold. First the cash mar ket was saturated. As a result, we began borrowing on futures through what we called a high standard of living, and America became the "land of plenty." You could borrow large amounts of money to build a manufacturing plant and the consumer could borrow money to buy your pro ducts. We called it prosperity. Then something went wrong. People had not realized that this production was being financed out of savings and by borrowing on futures which were never to materialize. Our industrial ma chine could work efficiently at full capacity, but could not op erate properly on a smaller scale. Suddenly, city people found themselves either thrown out of work or facing heavy financial losses. They had been induced to go so far from the land, through the inflexible economy of large scale production, that there was no chance of sufficient numbers returning to the land, or making a living through their own efforts. We all know too well the resulting situation and the prolonged depression came in its wake. People immediately became conscious of their insecurity. Ec onomic problems became political problems. History indicates that this usually happens. The spec tres of unemployment, starva tion, hopelessness and finally, political revolution, came upon the scene. It makes no difference which political.party is in power, history dearly indicates that most government leaders do the same things when confronted with these problems. During the most severe phases, persons in least secure economic positions were affected first. So cialized legislation, relief, and in creased government activity in creased the burden of those for merly secure. They became afraid. Since most people do not un derstand government financing, they feel secure. They cannot comprehend that a government, like a company, can run out 'of money. In the final stages every one begins to feel the burden of taxation, particularly the farmer who has been supporting the en tire population at great loss to himself.
