This past week my little girl
decided to make butter in the
same manner as my Grand
mother Landis did many years
ago while sitting on the cellar
steps.
We had the sweet cream and
the empty fruit jar but had lo
guess what temperature iPwas.
The candy and roast ther
mometers don’t go as low at the
60’s. Finally one of the children
remembered they had broken my
butter thermometer many years
ago when they checked the water
in the Conestoga before going
swimming. Such children!
We must have guessed right
because in a short ten minutes
she had butter to put in the
refrigerator to harden. It tasted
exnecially good on the home
baked bread which Judy had just
made

The raccoons are eating our
sweet corn. I’ve been told that an
electric fence a few inches from
the ground would keep them
away. But, it seems, that no one
has time to put one up in the field.
So, we are tying our dogs in the
patch at night. It seems as though
we have to work extra hard for
our food this year. Whether or not
this practice will help, we shall
have to wait and see.

1 When we burned some of the
debris from cleaning our
basement after the flood, red
embers were still glowing at
night. The three children toasted
marshmallows over them under
an orange moon.
Among the things that remind
me that Fall is on the way are an
orange or Harvest moon. Also,
little yellow butterflies flitting
over a clover field or a puddle by
the side of the road. I was always
told “When the wind blows over
the oats stubbles it goes toward
Fall.”

R ural America Shows
New Signs of Growth
The move from farm to city
may be coming to a halt. A new
era of economic and social
growth for rural America may
already be launched.
These are two conclusions to be
drawn from various reports on
the progress of rural America,
from the arid stretches of the
Southwest to the green fields of
the Southeast. They also are
indications that the much-talked
about goals of rural development
are beginning to emerge as
realized accomplishments for an
increasing number of com
munities.
Some signs of the recharged
energies within rural areas are;
—More jobs: During the 1960’s
nonfarm jobs increased by 39
percent in the countryside, a
slightly better rate than the 34
percent increase in metropolitan
areas. This growth rate has been
high in completely rural counties
as well as in those with cities of
up to 50,000 population.
-Farm-exodus ending: The
farm population has dropped to
fewer than 9% million persons.
With so few people remaining on
the Nation’s farms, little further
decline in the population is
possible. As the farm-to-city
migration dwindles to a
negligible level, continued gains
in nonagricultural jobs will have
a more visible impact on the
overall economy and population
of rural areas.
, —Greater Federal com
mitment to rural areas: The
government is stepping up its
investment in rural America
manyfold. For example, funds
earmarked for housing in rural
areas amount to $2.2 billion this
year, four times the 1969 level;

sewer and water programs are
allocated $342 million this year,
nearly twice the 1969 level. Total
funds devoted to rural
development efforts by the
Department of Agriculture will
amount to $3.5 billion this year
four times the level in 1961 and
twice as much as in 1969.
More important than the
statistics or the governmental
expenditures, however, is the
determined individual in com
munity after rural community
who resolves to solve the problem
on his own, who takes action to
set his own neighborhood on the
road to progress.

local leaders set out to combat
decaying businesses, blighted
housing. As a result of their ef
forts, the community has 386 new
low-cost homes and jobs and
incomes are up because of the
construction work. In North
Carolina, citizens mounted a
driver education campaign as a
small but vital part of their
Statewide effort to connect more
rural workers with more better
paying jobs.
Rural development is an idea
whose time has come—mostly
because increasing numbers of
local groups of local groups are
taking it upon themselves to
make sure that it does.
