HILL BILLY
RURAL PROGRAM
It is simple advise that the town jobless return to the little hill deserted farms and feed themselves; but even though these townsmen knew farming and gar dening and livestock and chickens and cows, yet there would remain the matter of tools and horsepower and cash for seed and fertilizer Starving is more cheerful in the hills than it is in town. Once a fellow gets equipped with tools and horse, has pasture and his hay crop and his grain crop and his garden going then family can get by with little cash, or even with none at all BUT you can't farm with a busted hoe and a fond hope. If all this money wasted on unemployment relief had been used wisely there would be hundreds of thousands of folks self-supporting in this country right now can see how the hook-up could be made so could any other farmer. Take a deserted 160-acre farm: equip it with the minimum of tools, implements, a good team, wagon, some axes and garden tools, few saws, few cows, few brood sows, couple hundred chickens On this 160 acres put 16 families, each in its small shack center the stock in one barn: divide the work accord ing to the abilities of the men and women; grow garden for 16 families, not 16 gardens for 16 families This way you have an abundance of manpower you have adequate equipment but no duplication you intensively farm every inch of the place and nobody kills himself working. Such plan requires one good exeperienced foreman and bit of co-operation; the loafers would have to be weeded out pronto, and they would be: but instead of 16 half-starved families robbing 16 little patches of marginal land there would be real farm, and food for 16 families A hundred families on 1000 acres would be better, but in units of a quarter section, centralized, directed labor, your unemployment relief hundreds of millions of dollars would have got us out of the mess three years back A single family on single scrub farm is inhumanity: but a dozen families pulling together, even on different farms, can get by, and also have some congenial social life. bation.

Like Shoemaker, he doesn't mind admitting that he is an ex-convict. But he does want it known that he was sentenced only for "technical" violation and that depositors in his bank have been paid off 75 per cent, pretty good rate for busted banks.
