Our real farmers, declining in numbers, but in perform ance becoming greater every year, will continue to do an ever better job of feeding our growing population. They can also, one way or another, help the rest of the world feed itself. So let's plow ahead with this big job of farming and let's do it as efficiently as possible, using machinery and know-how to their fullest, with only the manpower actually needed. Then we must bring more in dustry into rural areas. Our advantages are so great it's a wonder we have to sell the idea at all. Let's go after this industry, not with cumber some government machin ery, but as individual com munities competing for the enterprises they want. Here again we must provide any education and training need ed in these new industries. The next step is to make good use of the manpower we don't need on the farm any more—1,000,000 good men in the Midwest alone, strong, healthy, able and willing. First, we must continue to send a constant supply of talent to the cities, the same vigorous country blood that made our nation great. Com petition for jobs is rough in big cities—we must send our youngsters well prepared for the fight. From here on the things to be done in rural areas ore many and varied. We need more doctors, dentists, educators, more roads, housing, and much more. We can have them all }ust by using fully the EXTRA manpower made available because of today's efficient farming methods. The next big source of income after farming and industry is of course recreation. It is big business now and con be much bigger if we will do two things — improve what we have to offer and do a better job of selling it. More family fun, more exciting spectacles, a great deal more emphasis on outdoor life and peace of mind. Here again private enterprise with mod est public help is the answer.
