Administrator, RA Land the raw material of farms, i forests and range is one of our ma jor sources of wealth. Hundreds of thousands of rural families are now enduring a poverty utterly inconsist ent with American standards of liv ing largely because of a failure to use the land to its best advantage. In areas such as portions of the southern Appalachian Mountains, (where conditions of living are par i ticulariy severe, one reason for the j present poverty is to be found in the history of land use. The forest, which j formerly provided the chief income of the people of the southern mountains, jwas cut off without any care for the ; future reproduction of trees. The '. land is on the v. hole too steep for j farming, and cultivation merely ag ' gravates the problem by encouraging jth eerosion of the fertile soil, j With both the forest and the top j soil destroyed, the people have be I come economically "stranded," and 'their standard of living has steadily ' declined. Housing is very poor, con sisting often of dilapidated, leaky ! cabins which give insufficient shel- conditions can be tolerated. It is es pecially important when we realize that the poverty of the rural slums means the dependence of large num bers of families upon public charity and relief. Our objective must be not only to restore to these people a chance to attain an American stan dard of living, but to make them once more consumers and producers of economic goods. The Resettlement Administration is buying up tracts of land in var ious problem areas to help restore the ! natural iorest or grass resources which, if properly cared for, can again provide employment for local people. At the same time, this work will put a stop to the needless de struction of soil fertility, which, if permitted to continue, would make the rehabilitation of the people even more difficult and costly. Families who cannot be employed in forest work will be helped to move out of the hills to Cat, fertile lands where they can become self supporting. A similar conversion of the land to better U3es is being undertaken in other areas such as the old forest region bordering the Great Lakes, the ! western plains, and the old cotton belt of the deep south. Land that is not fertile enough for farming can be almost always utilized for some other purpose, like forestry or re creation, or grazing. The extent of this work, and the long time necessary to restore the land, place it beyond the sphere of private enterprise. Governmental ac tion is essential unless thousands of families are to be abandoned to per- !.',. . . ., .
