Interchange of Farm and City
Population is Not
Logical Move
Man said Adam Smith is of all
baggage the most difficult to be
transported In the United States
however the problem of transport-
ing him has been solved much more
thoroughly than elsewhere and the
country prides itself upon the mo-
bility of its population Here we
say no man need stay put against
his will Ile can pull up stakes and
aiove on to greener pastures wher-
ever they may be discerned This
fact we take to be an evidence of
national well-being And so it is—
normally But is is another story
when men are forced to move
against their will betokening indi-
vidual and social maladjustment!
In such circumstances large shifts
of population are a measure of dis-
tress rather than of welfare And
if besides being large in volume
these shifts of population are un-
intellingtly motivated and to a
considerable degree socially aimless
they constitute a heavy national lia-
bility Movements Since the War
first by reducing the supply and
thus increasing the cost of farm
labor and afterward by creating
unemployment relief problems that
increase the farmers' taxes
Authorities on taxation agree
that farmers pay more than their
share of the country's taxes Far-
mers have consequently a vital in-
terest in preventing nrban un-
employment for with the exception
of war unemployment is the great-
est unproductive consumer of pub-
lic revenue

Some Shifting Desirable
Neither indiscriminate opposition
to nor indiscriminate support of
cityward or country ward move
ments of population is rational In
this matter degree is everything
Movements of population to the
city and back to the farrn should
be proportioned to the constantly
changing relative requirements of
agriculture and industry No other
country tins against the rule of
proportion in population movements
more than does the United States
For this offence it pays heavy toll
Since the balance in the popula-
tion movement is now running to-
ward the farms it may be worth
while to glance at the incentives
Ten thousand persons who moved to
farms in 1926 were asked by the
United States department of agri-
culture why they did so Nearly all
had been brought up on farms or
had had farm experience Many of
them had previously migrated to
town and had not done well Others
had retired from farming and did
not like retirement A few city peo-
ple who take up farming are tem-
peramentally well suited to it
Many seek the refuge of the old
farm home when they lose their
Jobs in the city and these may dis-
place the hired man or the hired
girl In addition however there are
thousands who go to the farms for
unsound reasons They may settle
on poor land or in regions lacking
necessary community facilities
such as roads and schools They
may try without experience or ad-
equate capital to produce farm
commodities for the market
On the other hand many who
leave the farms for the cities ale
equally ill-advised This movement
likewise contains much that is
sound and inevitable Young peo-
ple born on farms often do not take
to farm life or cannot start farm-
ing in favorable circumstances
Normal Loss to Cities
As progress in farm technique
releases men from agriculture to
other occupations a certain loss of
farm population to the cities is
normal Above this normal loss
however is a wasteful excess move-
ment Adults who leave the farm
for the city nearly always have
hard going if they attempt to en-
ter city occupations
In short the interchange of
population between town and coun-
try consists of a small part that is
logical necessary and socially de-
sirable and a large part that is
wasteful Farm personnel in the
United States has changed vastly
more than the acreage in farms has
changed in the last decade This
turnover is as costly as the corres-
ponding turnover in industry
