BACK TO THE FARM
There is no need of discouragement about the farm situation.
The hunger in the cities is too great.
On the sidewalks of the larger cities millions of people are looking for work. Other millions do not have sufficient income to allow a proper standard of living.
It will not be long before these people will look either backward or forward to the farm.
Farming will yield to them what they have not had—a good living.
Then lands will sell and agriculture will present a different front to the world.
