Lvery year a huge army moves iirom farms to towns and cities, passing as it goes, another army about two-thirds as large moving to the farm from the cities, states the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. This shifting of population has been going on for a long time, although the movement from the farm was especially large In the four years from 1924 to 1927. In those years, an average of 2,027,000 persons annually left the farm for the city and 1,240,000 reached the farm from the city, according to estimates by the United States Department of Agriculture. In .addition, an enormous movement of farmers from one farm to another or from one section of the country to another section occurs every year. : Those going to cities and towns may be divided into. five principal groups, surveys by the Department of Agriculture have shown. Investigations covering limited numbers reveal that about 25 per cent are retired farmers, those who are unable to continue farm operations because of old age or physical disabilities, and the difficulty of obtaining adequate hired help. Nearly 40 per cent leave the farm for economic, reasons, These include the young adults ready to start occupational careers, and older adults who are unable to make farming pay, or who believe they can do better in thefcity. Eleven. per cent leave to give their children greater advantages in city schools. About 1.8 per cent leave in order to turn the farm over to sons or sons-in Jaw. A few, 2.5 per cent, leave because they have prospered enough to be able to leave the farm for an easier life and an opportunity to enjoy certain things they were unable to have on the farm. About one out of five leaves for reasons which are not readily classified. e

The throng going to the farm from the city in most eases is returning to country life. About seven out of eight have had some farm experience and have found after personal experiénce with both farm and city life that they preferred the latter. They became disillusioned as to city opportunities and as to the pleasures in urban life. The great majority prefer farm work to city work. While somewhat harder, they consider it more healthful, and they prefer its independence, its closeness to nature. They consider its living conditions better for children. About half of these farmers reporting to the Deparrment stated that they were making a better living on the farm than in the city. This was espegially true of tenants. Some others had not been on the farm long enough to determine whether or not they would be able to make a better living than in town. g

. These figures suggest that about half of the farm folks who go to the citics decide later on to return to the farm, the Foundation points out. Presumably, many of these who went cityward in the last few years when the movement in that direction was especially large, will return later on, Successful adjustment to city occupations by mature persons trained entirely in farm work is not easily made.

The direct money cost of this moving about is enormous, to say nothing of the amount of lost time and efficiency involved. It also brings serious disturbances of family life, :

' While farmers will have fewer hogs to sell in the coming year than in the last one, prices are likely to be enough higher to bring an increase in , total returns, says the Sesars-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. This con- ' clusion is based on a study of the record for the last six yvears in which the s smaller the number marketed, the larger the amount received. : ' In the hog yeaf ending October 31, 1924, for example, 52,876,000 head - were sold to packers for slaughter under federal inspection for which they . pald $897,000,000, Two years later, in the 1925-1926 hog year, only 40,812,000 . head were sold but packers paid $1,019,000,000 for them. Twenty-three per cent fewer hogs sold for 33 per cent more money. In 1926-1927, slaughter ‘ Increased to 48,080,000 head and cost to packers fell to $1,061,000,000. An additional increase In marketing occurred in the present hog year and total . live cost diminished further. : Seven per cent fewer pigs were raised in the spring of 1928 than in . the spring of 1927, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. ;The reduction, which amounts to about 4,000,000 head in the entire country - and to over 8,000,000 head in the corn belt states. will cause a decrease in ' market recelpts in the fall and winter of 19281 ). In addition, farmers’ » plans indicate a decrease of 7 to 15 per cent in the 1928 fall pig crop which ' will determine the market supply in the spring and summer of 1929. These ; reductions are due to low prices for hogs and the unfavorable ratio between - prices of hogs and corn in the past year. o : Hog prices abroad have been quite unprofitable in relation to feed costs - since early in 1927. Production is beingwcurtailed and foreign demand for r American hog products probably will increase during the coming year. In r fact, some Increase in exports of hog products has occurred already, although - foreign hog markets are still heavily supplied. : ; v With fewer hogs to be fattened and indications of an increased corn Crop, -the ratio between prices of hogs and of corn is likely to become profitable for . feeders during the coming year. If so, farmers will be tempted to increase - their herds once more. The experience of the last-half dozen years shows, . however, that such a procedure is likely to reduce not only prices but the ~total income from hogs. It may make the hog market of 1930 repeat the ' events of 1927. S | ’ If a small pig crop sells for more than a large crop, then a small crop ' 1s the sort to raise, the Foundation points out. This tendency is not the fault . of the market machinery, but is due to the inelasticity of demand. A ‘dispro- : portionate decline in prices is necessary in order to bring about enough | increase in consumption to use up the larger amount of product.

' : Fear the Reaction. ~ Hoover headquarters here are worried about the whisper campaigning which appears to be gaining the momentum of a snowball rolling down hall. o : . Repeated efforts to quash slanderous assertions about both candidates have thus far been unsuccessful. Some republicans forsee the possibility that the democrats may, attempt to set up Gov. Smith the democratic nominec as a martyr to gossip. i Hubert Work chairman of the republican national committee recently issued a statement denouncing the slander campaign but the whispering has persisted. Senator Reed Smoot, republican Utah asserted that “Governor (addressing Smith) the way to martyrdom is not via ‘what Mrs. Jones says to Mrs. Brown” He counselley Smith to avoil what he terméd “clothesline controversies.” :

: Because of a Girl The following poem is submitted to Banner readers by Dick Shadiker of Cromwell:

i Holy CGee, Gee Whiz I shall never forget the sixth of May That beautiful, wonderful, adventerous day. - #p It was in the year of twentyeight. The year I'll always celebrate. Because of g girl ; ' Just’ because of a girl. )

She changed my life from bad to good A thing ’twas said, no one ever. could But she fooled them then as she fool- - ed me now. . ; Yes, she fooled me and T'll tell yoa how. : " She threw me down Yeah, she threw me down.

She thrg&w me down for a good looking cus A guy who owns a pretty fair bus A guy who doesn’t have to work And one who takes her where pleasure lurk. He’s a gentleman \ Sure he's a gentleman :

He's a gentleman because of his old dad : His dad who loves his cute lil lad And gives him money enough to burn So at work he’ll never have his turn That’s a gentleman ~ Yes that’s a gentleman

But here am I as poor as cotton. I guess that’s why she has forgotten That I was once her lover true. Her lover who could nothing do Because 1 was poor Uh, Hub, because I was poor

Yes, I guess thats what her standards

are 3 5 A gentleman is a loafer with a car. And T as a pauper am just a bum

Who must take insults as fast as they

come. Thats the truth. Yes sir thats the truth.

She couldn’t believe in me at all She quit me cold like a big ice ball I guess that shows what a gentle-

man is, ; So were out of luck poor men, Holy * Gee, Gee whiz, . We're out of luck : Chass we’re out of luck ’

I wonder when she marries this guy Will their children grow up and die As gentlemen or as poor folks I wonder S - Yes, 1 wonder, ‘ »

Sparta Church Home Coming Sunday September 30 has been designated as the annual Rally Day Home Coming celebration at the Sparta Christian church at Kimmell. This is an annual event with this }cpurch and one which is looked forward to by members and friends with keen anticipation. :

- The services during the sunlight hours this year will be in charge of the church membership as a whole. The evening hours however, have been turned over to the young people of the church, who are to be entirely responsible for the program which we trust we may be able to publish in its entirety some time before rally day. The Albion Girls' Quartet have been invited to sing at the evening services and will probably render two or three numbers. e Two Are Seutenced in Elkhart Roscoe Hartman arrested at Elkhart several days ago for driving while intoxicated was fined $lOO and costy and given a suspended sentence for thirty days at the penal farm by Judge C.
