Any reminder of the good old days when American cookery traditions were being formed Is sure to warm our hearts and make the gas trie Juices run a little swifter but It Is safe to assert that we'd have l gastric reaction of a more painful sort if we were actually to return to the dally fare of our ancestors. We do not want to revive the mistakes and the deficiencies of the early American diet, but there can be much pleasure and benefit from renewing our acquaintance with some of the dishes which derived from the early days t i i i CRISP AND BEST IN BROWN T this country. Indian cookery lore has been combined with and modified by the customs and traditions of each separate group of settlers. In Charleston, C. C, the cookery Is a very special mixture of French and negro art. Certain of the favorite dishes of the Middle and Far West were evolved during the covered wagon pilgrimages. Thus the beginnings of camp cookery, although much of It was far less healthful than present-dacamp food, as the frying-pawas the most extensively used Implement over those open fires. It Is no accident we associate clam bakes and blueberry puddings with Cape Cod, chile con carne with Texas and New Mexico or fish pilaus with Charleston, where the rice fields used to stretch In every direction.

No projects such as these have been carried out by any other nations, according to M. L. Wilson, assistant secretary of agriculture. "This only nation-widplanning with the conscious idea of removing land too poor to farm from cul tivation Is being done in the United e States," he asserted. Commenting on the resettlement program, he said that there are approximately half a million farm families who are unable to produce anything to be exchanged. Their homes, which often average three persons to a room, are on the poorest grade of submarginal land. "The land must be shifted to better uses. It has been tradition In this country to get land into ownership, but the land on which families are failing because of its r timber poorness is partly plains, land, areas in the semi-ariland whose surface soil has been washed away by erosion, etc. It is largely land which Is not adapted to private ownership. It is breaking its private owners. The thing to do Is to bring it back into the hands of the government. "The solution is the gradual transfer of people on it to what l we have been calling communities."

Resettlement Is hardly the to the nation's farm problem, in the opinion of the 150 delegates to the conference of agriculture, Industry and science, which met at Dearborn, Mich., to honor Henry Ford for his contributions to "ehem-urgic" farming and to sign a "dec-- , laration of dependence upon the soil." Principal speaker in the con- clave in the town that Henry Ford built was Louis .7. Tabor, master of the National Orange, who urged farmers to grow every plant and every product that can be grown in the United States. He said, "The American farmer hopes this conference will (et in motion influences that will do more for rural life than the politician has ever been able to accomplish."

Said the son of a lawyer, "My daddy can get a hundred dollars Just settling something about a fence line." No. 2 retorted, "My father Is a doctor and sometimes has two hundred for a good Job." Not to be outdone, the smallest of the group ended the bragging with, "Well, my father Is a minister, and It takes six men to carry away the money on plates after he preaches."
