America's lush jwn country
side offers a story you won't get
merely by looking front a car
window. It's the story of poverty
festering at the <-ore of the
world's most amazing system of
agriculture.
Under Secretary of Agriculture
Charles S. Murphy peered past
the countryside’s serene surface
during a recent address in Mem
phis. Tennessee. He is part of
what he saw. -
• 'The ihortclity rate of child
ren five to fourteen is 30 per coot,
higher in rural than urban areas
and 100 per cent higher for ages
M to 21"
* “Rural America has almost
three limes the proportion of di
lapidated end substandard houses
as urban America."
• "Only thirty jler cent of rural
young people go to college, com

youth. In many rural communi
ties. the high school graduate is
the exception rather than the
rule.”

ilies and individuals employed as
farm laborers have total annual
income below nationally-accepted
standards of aeequacy."

futile fight to uphold a dwindling
