In America, according to the ex- regard to competitive factors, KNOW! 145 ‘the average man marries at 25 that we built up a surplus which ‘weighed down the price by a farming system which might more accurately be described as “mining the soil.” As a result, America is dotted with thousands of “worked out” and aban- doned farms, a strange contrast with the situation in Europe where land has been under cultivation for cen- turies, ‘When rich, virgin land could be had for the taking, there was little cause Zor alarm, but the homestead days sre over. The farmer who “works out” his soil becomes the victim of his own action, with nowhere to turn for help.
