We had an interesting discussion Tuesday night with a gentleman who maintained that, since all renewable wealth originates from the land, the smartest thing we can do is own and operate a large-size farm. This, of course, is a familiar argument to Jeffersonian Democrats, and it is refreshing to hear in this highly industrial age. There is no question that renewable wealth comes only from the soil or from the sea. Mines and wells are renable only over such a long span of time as to preclude human interest. But we must not loose sight of some other important aspects. While total disaster would come from destruction of our farms, the disaster that would result today from everyone returning to the farms would be almost as great. Our present society is built upon the fabric of specialization and distribution. Refining rough products into usable finished products, and distributing the end products to all the other specialists concerns nearly 90% of Americans today. Who knows a really self-sufficient farmer? One who makes his own cloth, own food, bakes bread, makes ice cream, manufactures his own iron ware? With the possible exception of the Amish farmers, who themselves are slowly Separating from this ideal, there are none left. In 1840 tobacco was raised in St. Mary’s and Root townships by farmers who were very much self-sufficient. The amount of ready cash available then was almost nil. So farmers had to be sufficient. But by being a jack of all trades, he was master of none. Today, manufactured machinery makes possible a different kind of life. Detergents are used instead of soap. All types of chemical advancements have been made. Whether modem life is better than in the days of old is a point widely argued — but that it is quite different no one argues. But Indiana today could not support its population without industrialization. This area, which once harbored a few thousand (always less than 10,000) Indians, and then 10’s of thousands of farmers, today holds 4 million men, women, and children. To give each family a farm would be ridiculous. They could not survive. Many families are five or six generations from farming. And a small farm today could not compete. Things which we consider “necessities”, from cigarettes to automobiles, would necessarily disappear. So would good health, sanitation, and freedom from epidemics and disease. Life would again become coarse and a matter of hard work for the short span of 40 years, cutting present life expectancy’ in half. The contribution of the farmer cannot be overestimated. But he has so advanced his own skill that he can now produce food for hundreds besides himself. This, in turn, gives or should give, him income to buy the luxuries and processed goods made and distributed by others. So, in a great sense, while food and cloth are basic, our Society today depends just as much on “refining” and “distributing” as it does on basic food-raising, fishing, or mining. It seems quite strange that after a million yeans of struggling, man in the past three centuries has advanced himself further, allowing more people to exist, grow up, and live happy lives, than in all the past countless eons of time. . ■■ ■ - Whether it is for good or evil depends on man himself. Those who wish may make evil of it — while others use modern-day conveniences only for good. While we do not yet have international law, we do not have the constant, interminible anarchy that previously existed. Even the “dark continents” are now slowly becoming enlightened. And who are we, after thousands of years of savageness ourselves, to expect them to advance in one generation the distance we covered in hundreds of generations? Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr,
