Mr. Smith, sn editor and reporter,

news of "America RMing the Rodv".
This la the second of a series of high

EVERY CITY “SPOTTED’'
Hoboes have this city “spotted,"
as well as an other American com
munities, for its potential! .ies for
begging food and coins.
' Here is information Charles W.
Smith gathered from bobo pals:
MUNTCE, IND.—Good stemming.
DETROIT—Bad.
ALBERT LEA. MlNN.—Fair.
gTOLEDO. O.—Stay away!
LOUISVILLE. KY —Fair.

lies an added cargo of men who have
taken to vagabondage In an effort to
find work. In my efforts to contra"',
'his new hobo I found an entirely dif
ftlent attitude among those “headin'
vest.”
"We’re bound to fina something
west of Chicago,’ th2y :>ay ns they
swing up into the empty box cars to be
found in every Drain. “Let's keep mov
ing."
Whereas, east of Chicago, I found a
relative hostility among railroad de
tectives against .those seeking to
travel fiyaj cogipptmfty to coknmilnity |
in their nsffcleto hunt for work, m the j
west a far different s't.atlon exists, t
“Let the BSeti Ride’’
With the exception of twe road-, the
.o-restdenfcs of the wes etn railroads
have issued orders to “let the men
ride, so long as they stay off the pas
wnger trains.” Further precautions,
resigned to protect inexperienc
cu wayfarers, are take i ir. the addl
tiou efvegnqity box cars to even the
fast manifest, or merchandise, freight
tiains.
And because of this sympathy with
cause the attitude of the men
traveling west of Chicago struck me as
being considerably better than in the
cast.
One night I dropped off a Northern
Pacific freight train wu Stapes Minn.
I soon found the hobo camp—the
jungle*. The group sit'.lnr arounJ
the campfire must have contained 20
i men t A huge can of mulligatawny
hung from a tripod over the fire.
Supper
A cheery voice haled me: “Come on.
buddy, supper’ll be ready in a minute”
There were trwo seamen—let’s call
’.hem Green and Brawn —In the crowd.
One was a chief enginec*! the other
was the engfneer’s first mate.
“'You know,?’ Green said, leaning far
back and gazing at the heavens. I’m
learning things all the time. Brown
‘and I shipped out of ’Frisco for Ger
many. We were paid off in New
YYork. but we couldn’t ship out of
New YoYrk so we’re headttg back to
the west ooast for a berth.
"But we’re not so bad off on this
aide of the big pond aa some of us
j like to Chink. Tou ought to se some
of the things going on across.”
Keeping Hunan Straight

clear sky. Green remarked. i
“There are seven stars in the heav
ens which never move. Astronomers 1
have tried for years to discover why
that is true, when every other star, 1
and the moon and sun ar» mobile.
Thoße seven stars are the ones that
keep seamen straight when they are
out on the pond.”
Whereupon, those sitting around
the jungles delved Into the subject of
asfjronomy with a vigor that belied
their surroundings. T was prompted
„to believe for a moment that I was in
a camp of scientists waiting for some
great solar event.
The next day I rode into Fargo, N.
Dakota., and there boarded a mixed
train consisted of eight freight cars.
& baggage car and one passenger
coach. Not fewer than 75 men were
on the freight section; two men were
paying passengers were in the coach.
The Courage of the Farmer
Among these men I found many
harvest hands bound for the wheat
fields. It was inevitable that the sub
ect of wages should come up for dis
cussion—and with it the farm board, j
A man named Bronson spoke up. I
He said that he had formerly' worked |
in the Chamber of Commerce in Min
neapolis. The Chamber, by the way,
is not a commercial organization as
in most communities but is the grain
trading pit.
“If everyone in this nai.on had th* !
courage of the farmers the United I
States would never have a depression"
Bronson said. "No matter wha hap
pens to fihem, if they hava e crop fail
ure one year and they los3 nearly
everything they have, they come right
back the next year and try' *'
"Don't think for a moment,” an
other man spoke up—l didn't get his
name but I did hear him say that he
was a salesman by profession—"that
this country is whipped. We're sing-*
ing the blues now-, byi. ncie* Sfciii*
is coming back:'. |m not licked, I
and L have hundreds of friends
who are doing just whut I’m doing to
day because they’re not ready to tjuit
Keep On Looking
"I don't know whether I’m going
to find any work out this way or not."
Bronson agreed, “but I'm going to
keep on* looking until I find it. But
until I do I’m riding the freights and
doing my best to get along."
From Minot, I turned south into
South .Dakota. halMng momentarily- to
visit in Pierre, the capital. It is not
a large city, but it attracts wayfarers
who desire to stop and rest—and “look
fer something."
In the “jungles" I found the men
singing and talking. Two of the num
ber were on. their way east after a
stationary engineer, remarked:
“Some day this country out here,
where there now is nothing except de
serts and wastland, will be a solid
paridise. Irrigation will do it. It is
true that in many sections water is
hard to get, but the day ia coming
when science will find a method to
utilize the melting snows of the moun
tains to provide both electric power
and watre for farming,
“Land fer Every Man”
“The east to too crowded. Out here
there’s land for every man. Persons
won’t live on it all the time. But they
will have Hj and when times like these
come along—end they do, in cycles.
They’ll have a place to go where they
can raise enough to live on decentiy
and not worry until they are called
back to their Jobs in the cities."
But it was in the “jungles" jus* out
side the Burlington yards at La Cross.
■Wha.. that I received my greatest
shock of the whole trip. A group of
grizzled men. all of whom were much
the worse for wear after traveling
seven* hours on a dirty freight train
were discussing political sconagay.
I One of them said. In I —that
would have been moUre in place in
some staid old club for professional
genuises:
“Some day the people of this coun
try will learn that our present form of
government has been outgrown. It
was all right when the nited State*
consisted chiefly of states etet of the
Mississippi river. But our national
government now is big business and
should be run on big business princi
ples.
“Constitution Will Be Revised"
"The constitution will be revised by
the people to provide for popular
election of a president and vice pres
ident and a board of directors, each
director to have supervision of seine
especial department. Congress will
be eliminated as being an unneces
sary expense
"The board of directors will be
elected and will replace the present
cabinet. They will meet in session
periodicaly to handle the nation's af
fairs. When they find that some link
in the business Is weaker than others
they will concentrate on that weak
link until it has been strengthened
sufficiently to make the whole strong,
just as the board of directors of a
railroad or a steel corporation or a
department store company docs.
"Then and then only', will taxes be
reduced to the point wheie every man.
can live as a free citizen."

WAR ON RATSWILL

Fanners To Cooperate In
.1 ’Effort To Save Crops
From Rodents
Raleigh, Oct'. 6 (AP) —A war on
rats, conducted on a Statewide basis
through farmers, has been declared
for North Carolina.
With a very short com crop this
season, the war on the rodents will
have as its major objective the pre
servation of as much of the corn as
possible. Reports how that annually
thousands of bushels of com produced
in North Carolina are destroyed by
rats.
A. E. Oman, rodent control specia
list attached to N. C. State'college by
the biological survey x*f the nited
States Department of Agriculture, will
direct the extermination campaign, to
be hunched November 17 for the
eastern half of the State and Decem
ber 10 for the western half.
The ne*w canned bait prepared under
the direction of the agriculture de
partment will be used in the war on
•tihe rodents, and Oman will seek to
secure as wide distribution of the poi
son as possible.
County agents In 50 counties will
take part in the campaign. The,
agents will ask the farmers to place,
the bait on their places to kill rats. ;
Saptple poisonings will be made in
various sectors and then the canned
bait wifi be used extensively. Each
half-can of the bait wiH slap 50 or more
of -the vermin, Oman said, and there
are thre of the half-pound cans of bait
In each standard farm package.
The bait Is Red Squill mixed In the
ratio of one to with meat, fish and
cereals. The material la relatively
to domestic animals .but to .toxic to
rodents. B] is slow acting, which
meant that rats eating of It can leave
the premises before dying and also that
ail rats will gat a portion of It before
the alarm breads, Oman said.
' *TWs to a war against tt:h and
wdste,” the Federal Evert sold. "W*
Fes B**t World “Serious ”t f
want to start the practice of cleaning
up the rat population of thl sstate
each fall at the beginning of the
sorage season.
“It will cost about the priet* of one
bushel of com to buy a package of
bait, and the results will have many
barrels of corn. Every farmer who
wants to have a part i n ridding his
premises of destructive rodents should
get in touch with ihis county farm
agent and seek to have some of the
bait placed around his premises dur
ing the campaign. ”

the demands for help from county and
■State workers have been greater dur
ing the past season than at any time
in the history of the service.
Emergency economic conditions
have made work In farm management
and marketing of leading importance
in the extension program, though the
emergency calls due to drought, the
unusual winter of 1931-32, relief work,
and the seed and fertilizer loans re
quired a great deal of the extension
workers’ time, he said.
Ah was the case last year, one of the
most Important activities has been in
producing the home living on the farm
and conserving home produced feed
for winter. The home garden, poultry
flock, egg and mGx and meat supply
have necessarily been maintained on
a larger percentage of farms than
heretofore and these undertakings
have flooded extension workers w;:t
problems vital to the success of !t, t
enterprises.
