seven years and looks
forward to his tenure

Barns never fell down when I was a kid. Yet as
you drive across rural America today that is the com
mon denominator of all states-barns falling down. I
have been struck by this phenomenon for quite some
time and I am pretty sure about what it means. Is it
the rise of absentee landlords, loss of output, lack of
self respect, closing out of the smaller farms, or what
I suspect most: a continued depopulation of rural
America? Actually it is all of these things, and more.
This represents a real change for the heartland
of America. No longer the rock-ribbed center of our
society, rural America now is owned and managed
by large real estate conglomerates, populated during
desirable weather by rich urban rusticators Land not
given over to rustication by urban dudes in their pickup
trucks and useless four-wheel drives has been sec
onded into giant 3000 acre farms churning out a gross
national agricultural product big enough to feed China.
All overseen by banks more interested in the bottom
line than abstractions like rural life.
These events force more and more rural folks off
the lands, raise their taxes, close them out of land
ownership, and give the most choice parcels to city

continued from pagel
people. Of course they let their barns fall
down. But what is this doing to us as a
society? Seeing my grandparents’ home
town of Rockwell City. Iowa not as a cru
cible of commerce, or trumpet of trade, but
as a forlorn relic really hurts. Where are
all the rural Americans, why did they go.
and where do they live now?
The reasons are almost as simple as
the enclosure laws that preceded the In
dustrial Revolution. Farms expanded in
size as units of service, the 1970's and
1980's bankrupted what was left of the
family farm, herbicides, pesticides and a
liquid nitrogen changed the way anything
is raised in America. When I was a kid, a
large hog farm was 100 porkers. Today,
across America, a large hog operation is
a hundred thousand hogs fouling the air
and water for five hundred square miles.
Not only a change in farming, but a mas
sive incursion into the environment as well
as the social strata of rural America. In
urban Chicago welfare is a code word for
racism; in rural America welfare means
half the shrunken population of any given
county.
Why mourn these changes? I suppose
at the basic level it is a feeling for me of a
personal loss of identity. I knew and iden
tified with a way of life that is gone forever.
But I also mourn the loss of a value sys
tem that placed family first, hard work and
industry second, with education underlay
ing both ideas. Instead of a therapist, a tight
knit circle of relatives and friends provided
support and comfort. I look at my grand
parents' home and remember a college
professor, banker, a head of a Fortune 500
company who grew up there. Now it looks
like someone who married his sister lives
there.
Where they all went is a mystery to me.
Many went on to college and never looked
back, others disappeared into low-paying
industrial jobs in the rust belt. But so many
characters I knew as a kid could never sur
vive in the city—no skills, eccentric beyond
description, independent beyond taming.
A rough-hewn class of rough cobs, who
could shoot out a pheasant’s eye at a hun

grandparents lived, the street past the

college dorm. Fixed points in an ever
changing life, and we remember what all
those people taught us.
Literature and science alike will tell
you that American regionalism is going
the way of the passenger pigeon. I not
only hope not. I know it is not. Oh.
maybe the obvious twang of an Okie, or
the drawl of a Texan, but even there a
good ear will hear Dallas, west Texas, or
Oklahoma. The old road signs steer us
home everytime. Value schemes may be
harder to see. and maybe they are fad
ing away. They will if we let them.
We all worry today about what we
see as a decline in our society. Read a
little history. Violence. It was ever so,
only not reported as routinely or spectac
ularly. There was always someone who
pulled a gun or a knife to settle a dis
agreement. There were probably those
who carried guns to school, the differ
ence today seems to be the mindless
willingness to use them. Maybe Old
Lodgskins said it best in Little Big Man,
"...white men are crazy, they don't know
where the center of the earth is." Road
maps, maybe we should start using them
more often.
Or maybe we should be turning
back tcrthe hometown sources of those
maps and find an unwillingness to accept
or tolerate violence. Whether the vio
lence is racism, crime, drugs, institution
al barbarism in our prisons, conglomer
ate America, dumping toxic waste in our
old swimming hole, or a kid packing a
gun. Racism, drugs and crime do not
have to be part and parcel of our daily
lives. Our social roadsigns should steer
us away from accepting murder mas
querading as entertainment in TV and
movies or lurid crime replacing news and
reporting in our papers. The real crime is
our acquiescence, acceptance, tolerance
and participation in this corruption of our
society. Look in the media mirror, it
reflects us.
The book I am recommending this
month is Zephyr by Henry Kisor. Riding
the Amtrak Zephry Kisor samples the
sights and people on his train trip west.
Always an interesting author. Henry
Kisor taps into the lives of his fellow pas
sengers. and the vital signs of railroading.
