to Farms Grew.
Washington, D. C.—The
fascination of farm life has re-
asserted itself, to judge from
new statistics available here.
The airen call of the barnyard
animals and the open farmland
spaces is responsible for' the
fact that the movement of
population from farms to eities
has slackened. There is a very
marked tendency now for per-
sons not only to "stay on the
farm” but also to go back to it.
W. M. Jardine, the Secretary
of Agriculture, has stated that
3.250.000 people were lost to
the farm population daring the
past eight years. The Bureau
of Agricultural Economics has
announed that while the move-
ment from farms to cities con-
tinued in 1927, it was consid
erably decreased.
The bureau estimates that
1.978.000 persons left farms
last year, compared with 2,-
155.000 in 1926 and 1,900,000
in 1925.
Offsetting this movement,
1.374.000 persons moved from
cities to farms last year, com-
pared with 1,135,000 in 1926
and 1,066,000 in 1925.

"A study of 2,745 persons
leaving the farms far the <
during the parted same 1920
indicates that 38 per cent left
the fans for economic rea-
ioan,” declared the Secretary
in an oral itntwwf- “Ffcfm-
eal disability caused 25 per
cent to leave, 11 per teal left
to get better aehoetiac tor
children and 2-5 per cent left
after baviag attained a tarn
Pe*Tr5ere is a high degree ef
probability tint the farm pop-
ulation is certain States, same
Eastern and Some Western,
had began to decrease oaa or
two decades before 1910. The
drop, therefore, in farm popu-
lation is a phenomenon which
had begun in some States be-
fore the war.”
Secretary Jardine declared
that after a study of LI*7
persons leaving the city for
farms daring the same eight-
year period, it wan found that
87 per cent had previously had
some farm experience.
“This would indicate,” said
the Secretary, “that the move-
ment from city to farm is very
largely the movement back to
farms of people discontented
for one reason or another with
city Hfe and work. There is no
way of knowing except by in-
ference whether the 'roes of
farm population to cities is
leaving a poorer class of farm-
ers on the farms or a better
class.”

In Memory of Jeraldine Smith
She is gone, our precious treas-
ure, -
To that blissful spirit land;
Gone to dwell with Christ for-
ever
And His holy angel band.
Jesus claimed her as His Jewel,
Now we’ll hear her song no
more,
’Til we met to sing with Jesus
On that fair celestial shore.
Tiny feet that traveled light-
ly
In this weary world of woe,
Hence will tread the Courts of
Glory
W’here are heavenly lights
aglow.
Yes, she’s gone to Join the
angels,
Leaving here a vacant chair,
But among the treasure left us
Is a memory of her.
How we miss her, sadly miss
her
Since her spirit soared away,
But this thought our hearts
will gladen
We shall meet again same day.
Yes, she’s dwelling with the
Savior.
No more cares her soul shall
try.
In a fairer world up yonder,
We shall meet her by and by.
May God’s comforting power
rest with the heart-broken
family, t Cora Rhodes.
