4 Revolt is Over
|~ Out around town levei-headed
| observers told me that Reno is los
| ing out with the farmers. The 3
‘.-\'s have brought them greatly in
! creased prices for their crops and
| large bonus payments—more than
| 100 million in lowa alone — and
| their flaring revelt expressed in
five-and-ten-cent foreclosure sales
:and radical demonstrations is over.
! But here in what once wag staid
land conservative lowa there is a
) | leaven of deep discontent slowly
e working. A professor at the col
- lege of agriculture at Ames put it
s into words for me: ‘l§
d “More than 43 per cent of lowa
land is mortgaged at from S9O to
ISIOO an acre—a grand total of
$924,000,000. Some 60 per cent is
[farmed by tenants. These tenants,
plus the debt-ridden farmers, offer
an unknown factor for the future.
Right now 80 per cent of all the
farmers of the state are behind the
{3 A’s and there is no chance of a
|"Third party next year. But in 1940
{these tenants and men_ in debt will
!he potential Third party peovle.
{ln the northern countries there is
:a steady infiltration of radical
iideas from Minnesota and Wiscon
| sin that is giving a different color
ito the whole state. lowa farmers|
will stay with Roosevelt this com
‘in;: election, but anything can hap
| pen after that.”
’ A Farm Editor’s View
In the eyes of a farm editor who
| moves constantly about the state,
the situation was this: “In 1932
Towa elected her first Democratic
| governor in 40 years, and in place!
|of eight Republicans and one De
;mocrat in congress we elected six
|l‘)emocrats and three TRepublicans.
"This same number held in the elec
itions last fall. In the past six
{ months there has been some slack
ling of Roosevelt enthusiasm, and
[it looks as if he may have a hard
itime to carry the state. In state
and county elections the votes will
probably swing back to Republican
ranks. There has been consider
able talk of graft, especially in the
handling of liquor affairs . .. We
hear little talk of Huey and Cough-l
lin, and Reno has definitely lost
iout. People in the country have
fewer radios than they had five
lyears ago; radio manufacturers
| seem to have centered on plug-in
]sets. Despite all our brags, only
jone family in every four in rural
idistricts has electricity. Roose
| velt's rural electrification will be
fia vote-getter . . . Farley will be
imade the strawman goat. Tugwell

The United States Bureau of
Fisheries is building a hatchery in
Nantahala national forest neat

| small trout yearly for restocking

optimism, despite the tragic cropt

state this spring.

the biggest merchants and most|
successful business men in this|
part of the near-west. ‘“Farmers!.

{ Much interest is being shown
among the Negro citizens of Ath
ens in a course in home hygiene
and care of the sick whieh is be
fng given by Rosa Ire Brown, Negro
public health nurse of the Athens
land Clarke county health depart
i ment. |
} The Athens, Clarke county chap
ter of the Red Cross and the
!Clarke County ‘Tuberculosis asso-i
ciation are cooperating in conduct
‘ing the course, which was begunl
| for the purpose of providing the
iNegro population with additional
lknow]edge as to personal hygiene
| sanitation of the home and care of
babies and small children in the
home. Special emphasis is also
placed upon care in the home of the
sick and pwevention of the spread
of diseasa in tre home and com
munity.
The health department points
out that “to those who are educat
ed 'a.nd careful, in a less degree,
and to those who are untrained and
careless in '‘a greater degree, ill
ness will inevitably come in the
course of time.” If there is some
member of each family who knowsl
the law of health and hygiene,|
sickness will be rare. When it
does come, a member of the fam
ily who is properly trained in car
ling for the sick, and providing
comfort, is invaluable in that way
’as well as in preventing other mem
bers of the family from* becoming
infected. S - i ,

| A State of Mind
! Southward from unbeatable Neb
|raska you enter into Kansas it
which is as much a state of mind |
{as it is a geographic unit. When
iI wasg a boy in Indiana we used to
!sing a song that proclaimed that‘
| “roosters lay eggs in Kansas.” You
lcan never tell about this state of,
|John Brown, and Carrie Nation, |
!and Sockless Jerry Simpson, and'
[ the Murdocks, and Allens, andz
|W‘hites and Landons. At least théy
shrem] Republicans here, t
i Wise and mellowed Victor Mur-|
}dnck, at Wichita, pounded that?
* | into my head: “Kansas is definit-!
: 'ely and irreconcilably a Republicani
Istate. In the western part of the’
Istate farmers who actually bene-!
fitted from the 3 A’s payments vot-‘
ed against Roosevelt. They are‘
Republican in their+ blood, just as
,pel)pl(} in Oklahoma are Democrat
ic . . . If Roosevelt can make hisl
lfuur billion war chest last he'll be;
reelected. Still, if he strikes ai
lslump next summer, he can be de-i'
‘ seated.” ’
Sixty miles northeastward the‘
[Sage of Emporia, William Allen‘l
;’\\'hito, views with as much humor |
tas hope the “Grass Roots” conven-l
ftion, that he must accept as at!
!leust' partly his own stepchild.'
{ “America must do three things to
save herself: put buying power
into the hands of the lower two
fifths; decrease profit in industry!
Isu that goods can be more equita,blyi
distributed; raise taxes to meet the!
flung‘ pull of unemployment and,'
| public works,” he says. “The Re-l
publicans’ one chance depends on/
‘the man they nominate,” %
Two Roosevelt States }
On the western edge of Missouri:
men dismissed the possibilities of)
anyone but Roosevelt carrying the;
state as too fantastic even to both
er te talk about.
The same was true of Oklahoma.
“Huey can carry a good many poori
tenant farmers and share-croppers
with him, but Roosevelt will get!
the state,” Victor Harlow, editor[
of Harlow's Weekly said to me.
I'p at the noisy, blustering state’
capital the extraordinary governor,
.. W. Marland, who five years ago|
had 80 millions, views with grow-l
ing alarm the vast exodus of farm
people to the cities. “We'll have
to get at least three million city
families back to the land or we will
2o the way of Rome. It's the pri
mary question before the nation.” l
