THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931 ‘ : : America Must Turn Back to Farm Again If It Is to Escape Disaster | | 1394858 TONS. BELIEF EXPRESSED against these “factory farms,” as he calls them. “Nothing,” he says, “is more empty than one of these farms where they froduce only one crop and try to ruarket it for cash. There is no var- ety. The farmer does not grow what hhe eats. Life is dull. The children grow up to think of the cities as al- luring places. They go to them. Even if they soon discover that the city is not as attractive as they had thought, they have left the farm—and they suffer for it.” Diversification Is Remedy The remedy? More diversification, stronger farm _ organizations—and Ferhaps less efficiency, the whole | STICKERS: fin difficult, Mr. Russell believes.

It is amazing how well he can get along.” Yet the economic side, he is care- ful to point out, is not all of it. Farm + organizations, with strong chapters in each village, can do much to make rural life more attractive. Organization Is Needed “The man on the farm needs such | society,” he says. “Not merely for economic purposes—he needs it be- cause it must bring him all the rich; culture of your great state.

The demonstration will be open to the general public. North Dakota county agents helped | 240 farmers plan water systems for| thelr farms in 1930. The work was! | done in connection with Homemakers; clubs. A total of 2,400 people attended water system meetings. All non-acid vegetables and meats which have been canned should be cooked from 10 to 20 minutes imme- largely of @ seasonal character, have brightened the outlook. The im- proved sentiment which is essential to a revival of activity is spreading, and this is the more encouraging be- cause the increased operations result- ing from the more cheerful feeling are being governed by actual needs. “With @ prudent disposition to confine commitments to well-defined requirements and avoid speculative excesses, such growth of trade as de- velops should prove the more lasting. ‘The fact that stocks of goods in most channels have been substantially re- duced and in many instances are un- usually small is a constructive feature which is steadily attaining greater prominence, and this strengthening of the inventory position was one of the necessary steps toward economic betterment. “The meagerness of immediately- available supplies in some prcducing and distributing branches has been evidenced by requests for. rush ship- ments of both raw materials and fin- ished articles, the steel industry and certain textile divisions, among oth- ers, experiencing this condition, and the rate of mill output is rising in different I : “Reflecting the phase, oppor- tunities for employment of workers are broadening in some cases, but the restrictions on the public purchasing power place limitations on the turnover. There remain many irreg- ularities and numerous unsatisfactory aspects in business, yet the favorable Pportents have come more plainly into the foreground during the nearly two months of the presen? year, and the adverse statistical records appearing from time to time are regarded as chiefly revealing the influence of past/ tainer.
