THB PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD. N. X FRIDAY. JULY 4, 1937 j :ac!? two z:m: ... - . I."!, ij WHAT "'it ' ' I- . TAKING PLACE V BY UNITED STASENATOR "p . -, - AS Thanksgiving: Day has become an occasion for thanks for individual benefits and blessings, Independence Day has become a time for stock taking of national gain and losses. Keeping in mind that it was the men from the farms who turned back the redcoats and gave America its free dom, it seems proper now to consider the status of the farmer today in our country's march of progress. And to do so clearly shows that while the economic position of farmers generally has been considerably im proved, the men and women who till the soil have not shared equally in the general advances of our people. This ib becoming more and more evident to the members of Congress concerned with the welfare of rural America and is certain to mean a general speeding-up of legislation de signed to help the farmer. Pending farm-tenancy legislation is a case in Boint. Other important measures may be expected to have more atten tion in,, the months ahead. Striking figures with reference to the general farm situation- were re cently submitted to Congress and are worthy of the attention of those concerned with the farm problem. To quote "The movement of population from the farm to the city indicates the de creasing attractiveness of farm life. In the last 25 years, while the Na tion's population grew nearly 40 per cent and while the percent of the national land area included in farms rose from 46.2 percent to 55.4 per cent, the farm population actually declined. In 1910 it was estimated at slightly more than 32,000,000. In 1929 it had fallen to 30,257,000. In spite of the distress in the cities dur ing the depression, the farm popula tion in 1935 was only 31,800,000 more than 200,000 less than the es timate 'in 1910. This decline took place in spite of the fact that the annual excess of births over deaths on the farm is from 400,000 to 500, 000 a year. According to the Bureau of Agriculture Economics, there was a net migration of 6,296,000 persons from the farm to the city between 1920 and 1929. "Although during the depression many families went back to the land in an effort to raise at least their own subsistence, the exodus from 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 witness to the fact that although the improve ment of farm machinery may have diminished the need for manpower it is not primarily responsible for this migration. "The difficulty of success in farm ing in recent years has been primar ily responsible. From 1850 -to 1920 the average value per acre of farm land and buildings steadily increased. Thereafter, however, it declined pre cipitously. In 1910 it was $39.60 per acre. In 1920, after the wartime boom, it was $69.38. By 1925 it had fallen to $53.52, and by 1930 to $48.52. In 1935 it was $31.16 ap preciably less, than in 1910. Not only was the' value per acre less but the total value of farm land and buildings in 1935 was $32,858,000, 000 as compared with $34,801,000,000 in 1910. This decrease in the total value of farm property took place in spite of the fact that during this period the proportion of the total na tional land area devoted to farming increased by 9.2 percent. So far as the Commission is aware; no other major national economic activity operates today with a smaller capital than in 1910 "Not only has the capital devoted to farming been partly eaten away but the farmer owns an ever-smaller share of that capital. In 1900, 23.2 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by tenants. In 1925, the figure had risen to 28.6 percent and in 1935 to ' 31.9 percent. The number of farm tenants grew by more than 200,000 between 1930 and 1935 and stood at 2,865,000 on the latter date." v . X CROSS ROADS Mrs. W. G. Shaw ; and daughter, Ann.
