SONG ..... farms
“How you. goin’ to keep ’em
down on the farm after they’ve
seen Paree?” was not only the
| opening line of a song sung dur
ing the last war but was also a
terse expression of a* real social
[problem which existed in 1918.
For up'to the time of the fir&t
World war farm life had been
anything but a bed of roses. The
average country boy had strug
gled for everything he ever got,
he had spent long days at hard
and discouraging work, and he
was becoming more and more en-

APPEAL .... Change
There is no doubt in my mind
that as soon as the war ends the
swing will be toward country liv-
»g.
For one thing, the cities have
lost a lot of their former appeal.
Country boys and city boys now
see the same movies, listen to the
same radio shows, ride in the
TION | same kinds of automobiles. As
for wages, while city boys make

AT FIRST
SIGN OF A
big movement toward the coun
try is not~just because the city
has lost its appeal. More impor
tant is the fact that farm life,
following the war, promises to be
full of exciting changes and great
opportunities.
Unless something interferes
with the present trend, we can
expect practically a revolution in
farming methods following the
War. Farming is apt to become a
highly mechanized business de
voted to the mass production of
food in a manner similar in many
ways to the mass production of
automobiles in our big factories.
The very same appeal of want
ing to be on the scene when great
changes are taking place, which
brought young men flocking to
the cities in the last two genera
tions, is apt to attract the coming
generation to the rural areas.
Furthermore, with farming be
coming more profitable every
year, it seems quite probable that,
for the first time in history, the
pay for farm jobs may compare
favorably with that for city jobs.
Most of the postwar planning
of today is concentrated on find
ing factory work for returning
soldiers, but there will be many
who will not want to go back to j cense num ber and state in ad-

The Natural Side Dresser
~ 7 . . \ > .7 /
Oyer 500,000 tons of Chilean Soda have been brought
in for this year’s crops. More is expected in time for side
dressing, but there are distribution complications. The
War Production Board and the War Food Administra-*
tion control distribution of all nitrogen supplies under
an allocation program. Principally, this program takes
into account three things: (1) total supply of nitrogen
products; (2) their respective locations and capacities;
(3) crop requirements. So, if Chilean Soda happens to
be scarce in your section, it is a war-time dislocation, a
temporary scarcity.
If you haven't been able to get the Chilean Soda
you need for top dressing and side dressing,
don't blame your fertiliser man. Pul the blame
where it belongs ... bn Hitler and Hirohlto.
A vast supply of natural soda is right where nature put it
—in Chile. Large quantities are ready for shipment.
Every possible ton of this vital material is being brought *
here in time for this year’s crops.
