We want to keep the red blood on the farm. We are not doing these things now. A recent investiga- tion of the University of California showed the average age of settlers in new developing districts to be about 45 years. Men ready to retire from active life buy farms — the boys and girls flock to the cities. A recent report issued by the United States Government shows an increase of 380, 000 in the population of California, -2- during the last five years. Sev en ty- three per cent of this increa...se was in cities and towns of 3, 000 and over. The in- crease in farm population was so small as to cause anxiety and lead to a "belief that changes in existing methods are desirable. Selling land to settlers has becone so difficult that coEEiissions to land salesmen have reached, the incredible figures of 25 to 30 per cent of the selling price. Reliable men engaged in the business say that even with these extraor- dinary commissions they are not prospering. \Tnen one considers the attractions of rural life in this state, there is no other conclusion except that this halt in development is due to vital defects in our policies.
