INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE
The best news that has come out in a long t ime is the
report from Detroit that the big automobile companies
are calling men back to work and that the rains have
changed the "dust bowl" back into productive farms
which promise the largest yield of wheat in a quarter
of a century.
The motor manufacturers" reduced their output for
1938, with the result that most of the stock is practical
ly sold qut, and in the higher-priced cars buyers are gob
bling up the best of the "used" cars of last year's mod
els. Now the makers of the popular-priced cars are
looking forward to larger sales than ever of their new
models, and are preparing to put them on the market
earlier than usual.
One of the reasons for the car-builder's optimism is the
certainty that there will be many millions more dollars
flowing into the pockets of farmers as this year's boun
teous harvest is marketed. That much of this money
will be spent for new cars is regarded as certain, tor the
motor-car is as essential to farm life as the horse and
buggy used to be. Probably the worst examples of
worn-out cars still doing duty can be found in the reg
ions where farmers have seen little or no money coming
in for the past few years.
Prosperity in American has always been measured by
the productivity of our farms and the ability of the rural
population to buy the product of our factories. That
is as true today as it ever was, though the proportion of
farm folk to city dwellers continues to diminish.
There are still more than six million families living on
farms, twice as many more living in rural communities
and small towns dependent in large measure upon the
prosperity of the farmer. And the automobile industry
is only one of many equally dependent on farming.
