THE RURAL life problem
In the words of Mr. S. A.
Lindsev. chairman of the Texas
Farm Life Commission, "The
farm life problem is in no sense
a das.- problem. It is a city
problem as well as a country
problem, state, nation, and
world-wide.". This being the
case, it is a problem in which
we that live in town should be
inteii sted as well as those who
live in the country. Further-
more it becomes the duty of all!
