By L. C. GRAY,
Asst. 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-
