BETTER COUNTRY LIFE To enable farmers to enjoy nodem schools, libraries, hospitals, and recreation centers seems less a question of per capita wealth and income than it is a problem of grouping rural communities so that the cost is distributed among the largest possible number of people. Dr. C. J. Galpin, of the United States Department of I Agriculture pointed out at the Farm Home Conference at Purdue University. October 11. Dr. Galpin cautioned his hearers, however, that groupings of taxes areas for such proposes should not be too large. Dr. Galpin compared briefly the total income of the farm population and the total income of people not on farms as reported by the National Bureau of Economic Research. He said that studies in various sections of the country indicated that in 1919 the per capita income of farmers comI pared favorably with that of city people. In a number of States the per capita farm income equalled or exceeded the per capita income of other people in the state. i ’’The consolidated school ntovement points the way for other institutions in rural districts," Mr. Galpin said. “To enable farmers to afford modern I grade schools it was necessary to I make the school districts larger. A similar method for the support of libraries, recreation centers, hospitals ' and high schools can probably be worked out.” o s—s—s—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
