With the froit on pumpkin, fodder in the shock, the world settling down to i hard winter and a Ions war, those of us who aren't in the first draft or Just elected to office have a chance to look two ways from Christmas. The Industrial tail is about to wag the agricultural dog again the experts tell us, surplus labor is about to be syphoned off the farm which Is fine for the man who has too many mouths to feed and too few tht not so good for the farmer who needs a few extra hands. However, if you do turn around and look back 35 years just to take your mind off present troubles you can see some interesting sights which have just been set up in sharp perspective by the inter-bure- committee of the HOLLYWOOD apparINently one of the first things a young actor has to learn is when to quit a Job, if staying is likely to be a bad idea.

In that short span for a man or a mule, 35 years, 10,000,000 mules and horses and thousands of men have been pushed off the farm by the machine. And, according to the in Washington, a prognosticate million and a half more mules and horses will be replaced by tractors in the next 10 years, and more than 8,000,000 acres of land now used to raise feed for work stock will be put to other uses. Farmer Has Long Utilized Machines We've been hearing a lot about man versus the machine, especially since the smash of 1929 that made unemployment the big Issue, and gain since the smash of 1940 when the Nazis with their tanks and motorized equipment went through France like a plow through loam. But the farmer had been getting machine conscious long before that Especially since the little jack-of-1- 1 trades tractor appeared on the field, replacing the cumbersome earlier models. Along with the tractor came a lot more "technological developments" including not only farm machinery like the combine and the but other scientific advances such s testing and breeding and feeding of animals and plants, soil conser vation, disease prevention and outer things. This technology has hurt s well as helped. Besides the thousands of men who have lost their jobs on farms as well as in factories, prices have been affected and the whole social life on the farm has changed. "It is not that these scientific advances are to be blamed" for the difficulties which have arisen, the Washington experts say, but "the troubles, if any. arise from the inequality of adjustments and responses In agriculture and industry to such advances." Just what the advantages and disadvantages are that lie ahead is e book, told in detail In a and the government by printed called "Technology on the Farm." One thing that interested me particularly in this interesting book, aside from its excellent and detailed information, was an editorial opinion it expressed on the way the use of machines has changed farming for a living to farming for cash. There's a difference. Of course when you have to buy lot of machinery you need hard money but there are disadvantages in simply raising products with the one purpose of turning them Into corn-pick- er 224-pag- money. Increased Investment Reduces Security First, it reduces security. If you raise your own food you need never starve in a panic. Then there Is health: A family with a low income and the plenty of food growing right on cona to more get is likely place tinuously healthful diet than one which has to buy what it eats. Raising one's own food helps divide up responsibility for the family welfare because young children and old folks can tend a garden or feed the chickens. If the eggs and vegetables and milk are purchased, the children's interests are removed from the Interests of their parents and older brothers and sisters. Furthermore, a child who helps raise Its own food also gets what a city child doesn't get- -a chance to learn through doing. Another disadvantage of farming for money only, with the greater use of machines, is that it makes it harder to own a farm. The money goes into perishable things Instead of into the solid title to land. The FABM MACHINERY Life on American farms is being changed by technological advances, Baukhage reports. He finds that the trend toward growing products primarily for sale Instead of home consumption raises many new problems. The Greek ambassador in Washington told Baukhage that his people are now more united than ever.

It was had shortly after the Italians crossed the border from Albania, and the Greeks $ad met this new invasion from the west as they met the Persian invasion from the east 450 years before. I say I stepped on foreign soil because the embassies and legations of a foreign power are considered a part of the territory of that power no matter where they are located.

It is really just a big private residence made into I legation where the minister, a cheerful little man with long name, Cimon DIamantopoulos, lives and carries on the business of his country. As I sat in the attractive cubbyhole that is his study, pouring over a map of the country be knows so well, I had a strange feeling. The walls with their artistic etchings of classic beauty seemed to fade away and I could see those tortuous passes of the ancient Pindus mountains. Mule-draw-n artillery were strugthe gling through the snow-driftwith fierce Greek mountaineers their kilts and tufted shoes on one side, the plumed Bersaglieri equally fierce Evzones mountain fighters on the other. I could see the attack in the blinding blizzard, the clash on the narrow roadway hardly wide enough for small motor lorries to pass, and then men and mules plunging down into the bottomless abyss.
