FARMERS WRITE PRESIDENT ADVANCE IDEAS FOR IMPROVING RURAL CONDITIONS Deeply Concerned In Work of Commission on Country Life—Have Clear-Headed Ideas of President's Purpose In Starting the Inquiry (Correspondence of the Gazette) Washington, Oct. 16.—President Roosevelt’s mail is stacked high these days with letters concerning the Commission on Country Life, which he recently created, and the number of communications on the subject is growing greater daily. A rather strange feature of this correspondence, considering the far-reaching significance of the commission, is that so far it has contained no word of adverse comment from any quarter. The suggestions are all constructive, and many of them will prove of great help to the commission when it formulates its plans of campaign. Many of the letters to the president are from men whose names are known everywhere, but the bulk of them are from the men who are most vitally interested—the farmers themselves. The general tenor of the farmers’ letters show that not only are they deeply concerned in the work of the commission, but that they have clear headed ideas of the president’s purpose in starting the inquiry and of what the outcome may be. The writers get down to the business and set forth their ideas with a hard-headed logic and clearness of statement that makes it seem a little doubtful if the belief of some persons that rural schools ought to be improved is well-founded. The farmers themselves however agree that al capacity as in providing a community bond. Many suggestions are made concerning the postoffice service. All these letters are being read and the gist of their contents was brought before the commission for consideration. An Indiana farmhand has written a letter to President Roosevelt in the work which the Country Life Commission is carrying on. The president has turned the letter over to the country life commission and commission has asked the farmer to write some more. “I have been a farmhand just enough,” says the president’s correspondent, “to learn the cause of many sons and daughters and meaning, reliable farmhands lead the beautiful farm and country and going to the city. A lack of order and system on the farm and long hours for a day is what is ing the best minds from the farm the city and shop. What can we expect of a hand, or the farmer’s and her posterity, in the way of intellectual development when they out of their beds at 3:30 in the morning and work from that time at 8 or 9 p.m.? And no attention to the sanitary conditions of home, and necessary convenience, the farm for doing the farm with the least labor and time.” This man has given the Country Life Commission some very interesting first-hand information about all conditions and recommendations based on a long experience in work and farm life. He has written for all kinds of farmers, good bad, he says, and he has always his eyes open to detect the cause of their success or failure. He drawn his own conclusions and them forth in downright straight of the commission, but that they have clear headed ideas of the president's purpose in starting the inquiry and of what the outcome may be. The writers get down to the business and set forth their ideas with a hard-headed logic and clearness of statement that makes it seem a little doubtful if the belief of some persons that rural schools ought to be improved is well-founded. The farmers themselves, however, agree that the educational facilities in the country districts ought to be made over so as to fit country conditions and needs more closely. A number of writers urge the need of introducing some sort of elementary agriculture into the schools. Not all are of this opinion, however. Some maintain that there is a danger of trying to make agricultural instruction too academic. The one point in which all the farmers without exception agree with the president is that the greatest trouble with agricultural life is its isolation. The remedy for this that is most frequently proposed is better roads. Another solution that is advocated by a large proportion of the writers is that a means be sought to prevent the holding of large farms by persons or corporations who do not work them themselves. The argument is advanced that such action would attract settlers to the country and that the wide spaces between farms would be broken up, and that further if the big tracts which are now worked by absentee owners or held for speculation were split up among independent owners, there would be greater opportunity for the small farmers to come in and gain profitable livelihoods. A number of the president's correspondents urge a revival in some sort of the old lyceum which provided a social center for rural communities. Several writers tell of excellent results that have been obtained in their own neighborhoods by literary societies, not so much in their education- This man has given the County Life Commission some very interesting first-hand information about all conditions and recommendations based on a long experience in work and farm life. He has written for all kinds of farmers, good bad, he says, and he has always his eyes open to detect the signs of their success or failure. He drawn his own conclusions and them farth in downright straight ward fashion. Education pays iming, he says. The farmer plans out his work and carries through in a systematic, business manner, just as the city man will be able to shorten the hour labor. "So many farmers meet everything on the farm from standpoint of muscle," he contends "and are extreme in some things slack in others. I decided so years ago that life is too short work for Peter Tumbledowners." "Now, Mr. President," he wrote, "you can take this for what you worth. I have not given you of my experience." The county commission has written him these suggestions are so useful that hope he will send more. "Compel the farmer to be a necessity man," he says. "Go into homes of some of the farmers; the so-called farmers and ascend how they live, and learn of their thods of doing the business in which they are engaged. And you will surprised what a variety you find. Ascertain what they read what stress they put on the picture that comes into their home any comes) bearing on the bus they are engaged in. See what cent study their business. "Give me the educated farmer a boss and the educated farmer as a hand. When I come in co-with a hand or farmer that sells his business I find him advancing it is a pleasure to work such men. "The majority of the farmer eight-hour men, that is, eight in the forenoon and eight in the ternoon. Eight or ten hours of farm cannot well be adopted."

If baby is not nourished by its artificial food, then it requires SCOTT'S EMULSION Half a teaspoonful three or four times a day in its bottle will have the desired effect.

He has worked of farmers, good and and he has always had to detect the causes less or failure. He has own conclusions and sets downright straight for "Coming to the meals at the meal hour it makes it easy on the wife so she can arrange her household duties in order, as can also the husband his farm work. "Men of worth and standing in the shop and city tell me that if order and system were used on the farm they would go back to the farm. If the farmer wants to keep his sons and daughters on the farm he must not lengthen the hours for a day's work at both ends. Limit the hours of work on the farm to twelve or thirteen with pay for overtime, and freedom to the hired man on Sunday." The Country Life Commission welcomes letters like this, because as Professor L. H. Bailey, chairman of the commission, recently pointed out, one of the objects of the investigations of the commission will be to obtain, as fully as possible, the opinions of both farmers and their hands concerning the question of farm labor and the condition of hired help. It is likely that when the country life commission reaches Indiana in the tour of the country which it will take early next month it will endeavor to get into personal touch with this letter writer.
