The crowding in cities where arms factories and camps for armies are growing is dramatic. But what defense means in the country is the emptying of whole areas, the uprooting of thousands of families, to make room for camp sites, for safety belts around Trinitrotoluene (TNT) plants, for bombing and artillery ranges. Of course, the farmers are paid for the land. Moving from the land is a more complicated business than moving from a house. One farmer, affected by the TNT plant and the bag-loading plant in Will County, Illinois, is a dairyman in the Chicago milkshed.
