% IN WASHINGTON WHAT IS * TAKING PLACE BY 4 f? . & untied state sawDR *As Thanksgiving Day has be comt an occasion for thanks for individual benefit* and blessings. Independence Day has become a time for stock-taking of .national gains and losses. Keeping in mind " thai i* was the men from the farms who turned, back the red coats and gave America its free dom, it teems proper sow to con sider the status of the farmer to? day* in our country's march of progress. Ancl to do so clearly ehowE tiat while the economic position of farmers generally has been considerabl/ improved, the me^ and women who till the soil have not shared "equally in the genera] advance* ot oar people. ? This is becoming more and more evident to the members of Congress concerned with the wel fare of rural America and is cer tain to mean a general speeding- 1 up of legislation designed to help tie farmer. Pending farm-tenan cy legislation is a c-aae in point. 'Other important measures may be expected to have more atten tion in the months ahead. Striking figures with reference to :te general farm situation were recently submitted to Con gress and are worthy of the at tention of ;those concerned- with the farm problem. To quote:" "The movement el population from the farm to the city indi cates the decreasing attractive ness of farm life. In the last 25 years, while the Nation's popula tion grew nearly 40 per <;ent; and while the per cent of the national ? land area included in farms rose from 46.2 per cent to 55.4 per cent, the farm population actual- ' ly declined. In 1?10 it was esti mated at slighMy more than 32, 000,000. In 1929 it had fallen to 30,257,000. In spite of the dia-' tress in the cities during the de pression, the farm population in 1935 was only 31,800,000 ? more than 2i>0,000 -less than the esti mate in 1910. This decline took place in spite of the fact that the annual excess of births over deaths on the farm is from 4 00, 000 to 500,000 a year. According t>a the Bureau of Agriculture Ec onomics, there was a net migra-* tion of 6,296,000 persons from the farm to the city between 1920 and 1929. "Although during the depres sion many families went back to the land in an effort to raise a'j least their own subsistence, the exodus frtfm the farm continued from 1930 ,to 1935 to such an extent that 984,000 more people left! the farm than went to it. The existence of abandoned farms and the general shortage of labor on farms in cultivation are wit ness to the fact that although thfe improvement of farm machinery may, have, diminished the need for manpower it' is not primarily responsible for this migration. "The difficulty of success in farming in recent years has been primarily responsible. From 1850 to 1920 the average value per acre of farm land and buildings steadily increased. Thereafter, ho.wever, it declined precipitous- ! ly. In 1910 it was $39.60 per acre. Iu 1920, after the wartime boom, it was $69.38. By 19'2'S it' had fallen to $53.52, and by 1930 to $48.52. In 1935 it was $31.16? appreciably less than in 1910. Not only was the value per acre less but the total value-of farm land and buildings in 1936 was $32,858,000,000 as compared with $34,801,000,000 in 1910. 'This! decrease in the total value of : 1 arm property took place in spite' of the fact that during this per iod the proportion of the total national land area devoted to far ? ming increased by 9.2 per cent, j So far as the Commission is aware, no otter major national j economic activity operates today ( with' a smaller capital than in 1910. "Not orfly has the capital de voted to farming been partly eat-( en away but tie farmer owns an ever-smaller share of that capital. In 1900, 23.2 per cent of the to tal farm acreage was operated by tenants. In 1925, the figure bad risen to 28.6 per cent and In 1935 to 31.9 per cent. The num ber of farm tenants grew by more than 200,000 between 1930 and 19Stf and stood at 2,865,000 on tbe latter date," . . . n Tomato fro it worms have des troyed about half of what appear ed to b? a large crop of tomatoes is ifarae County, reported A. 8.

Lesson for July*^Kh Ezodas .3:1-12. Golden Text: Exodus 3:tG. Moses is one of ^th* -towering^ giants of the Biblical story. In a sense he was the nation's founder. How versatile he was! We revere him not simply as tbeiiaUon's de liverer. but also as its law-giver, judge, ruler and prophet. Who can forget the loving soli citude of his mother? To save him from the destroyer she hid him three months, and then plac ed him in an ark of bulrushes where he was discovered by Pha raoh's daughter and adopted Into the royal court. But he did not forget his peo ple. In his zeal for their welfare he quarreled with an^s- murdered an Egyptian, and so had to flee into the wilderness of Midian. There he lived a secure, - happy life But God called him from his domestic quiet to heroic service. Our lesson, the spectacular story of the burning bush, furnishes the key to the career of Moses. "When the grtat idea came." savs George A. Gordon, "it took him and turn ed him from-a local character into a world character," Note his re luctance and objections. We do not love him the less fqr Bis hesi tation. He knew what was in store for him. And how bravely he met th^ crucial tests that awaited hii^i Scorned by Pharaoh, blamed his own people, apparently^ de serted by God Himself, be sefemed doomed to hopeless defeat. No wonder he lost his patience. But how magnificently he persevered _to^the eftd of that long and troubl ed wilderness pilgrimage! His strength was as granite. And at last Jie brought' his people to their desired haven, the Promised Land which he himself, < through the irony of fate, yas "not permitted ' l<> enter. ^The most moving scene in tha^pjile Negro play of the Bible, ^The Green Pastures," is ."DOCTOR" for sick radio* When your radio is tide, call the radio doctor just as you would your family physician for real ill ness.
