More than 70,000 farm men aiul
women throughout the land have
dedicated themselves to the comple-
tion of a huge task. It is the job ol
working out agricultural policies tlwt
will coordinate existing agricultural
projects, develop new programs, and
adequately take care of the. immediate
needs of agriculture as well as the
long-range activities required to at-
tain a healthy farm economy.
Federal, state and county agencie.,
have joined with farmers to create
land planning committees. Mum
credit is due those responsible for the
organization in that they began their
efforts on a local basis. Instead ot
taking wide areas and attempting to
draw general conclusions, committee;
have been based on a county plan.
Each committee attacks its local proo-
ietn. In their own small areas eons*,
mitree member-, can easily gather to
do intensive work. Because the arc t
nl their study i- onU one county, it
is easy to secure information and con-
venient to check for accuracy.
Th e communities within the im-
mediate area hold their meetings and
repot t to the county committee who,
iiijturn, coordinate the mtormation.
By beginning with the local cotnimtm.
•y and working up through the coun-
ty and state t,, the national picture or
agriculture it is possible to prevent
vague generalizations which are sr.
often made by so-cailcd farm leaiTei..
but which base no practical value to-
ward solving farm problems.
lake every other effort, the sucCesa
ut the Land Use Planning Programs
will depend entirely upon how many
practical farmers and business men in
rural communities take an active part.
The weakness of movements of this
sort is that they sometimes never get
beyond theoretical limits. So-callcc
"experts" sometimes get an idea, then
proceed to publish pamphlets about a
and immediately consider the endeavoi
a successful one. [yet us sincerely hope
that such will not be true of the pres
ent plan; that worthwhile results will
stem from the program. They can ir
all of us do something constructive
and actual.
File Land Use Planning Program
has every indication of being a practic-
ed one that lias emerged from a theo-
retical idea into a workable plan.
Active committees, having a record of
accomplishment, are to be iound in Xs

Some of the products of industrial research which are contributing to national strength, and which giv#
promise of future improvements of an Important nature, are a part of the General Motors traveling expo-
sition, the Parade of Progress, which was launched recently on a nation-wide tour. At the formai opening
of this scientific exhibit, Charles F. Kettering, research leader, declared that the permanent defense of
America in the immediate future and in succeedh j years is going to require greater ingenuity and inven-
tiveness, more dissatisfaction with old, inefficient ways of doing things, more real hard work th'ah 'ever bsfo:-*..

THEY RODE BY RAIL
Last January, the railroads gave a'
superb example of the efficiency ol i
their service. This example wasn't a
prepared stunt—it was made iu tin
ordinary course of business.
During that month, tlu- railroads
transported 207,000 members of our
military forces without the slightest
difficulty or interference from other
traffic. More than 132,000 of these
men were transported on 385 special
trains. The remainder rode on regu-
lar trains.
1 o handle this unusual passenger
traffic required 633 routings. Thcs"
were made by the individual if Iro.-uN
involved, in cooperation with the
Military Transportation Section Of
the Association of American Rail,
roads. This section was created last
August to maintain close liaison be-
tween the military forces and the rail
roads of the country. Not only does
it direct the movement of military
personnel, but it also supervises the
movement of supplies and materials
for the huge military construction
projects now underway in almost all
parts of the nation.
In past periods, the railroads have
demonstrated their ability to handle
extraordinary quantities of freight
without delay, confusion or shortages
ot cars, and now they've proven a.-:
equal degree of efficiency in expedit-
ing the transportation of passenger.*.
No industry is better prepared to
meet the emergency demands of .the
time. And that preparation wasii't
due to luck. It was the result of years
of steady work in preparing for just
such an abnormal period as we are
experiencing today. Long before
one was thinking of war abroad ,vid
upreccdented defense at home, the
railroads were getting ready.
This industry exemplifies private
enterprise at its very best, And right
now it is quietly and efficiently per-,
forming one of the biggest and omwav
vital jobs in its long and colorw
history.
