I happened to be in the presence of the President one day. and he asked me if I had any suggestion to make along the lines of inducing people to go back to the farm. I told him that the answer was very simplemake it profitable. The moment you make agriculture profitable. or the moment it becomes profitable. you will not have to incorporate in an immigration bill a provision to select immigrants to come to till our fields. The reason people are fleeing from the farms now is because it means economic and social and educational death to stay on the farms. As rapidly as it is possible we are becoming a nation of classesthose whom grim necessity or the lack of divine investment in brains will drive to the soil. and those who will go Into other vocations. as they are doing today.
