NEEDS OF FARMER
8H0WN BY COUNTRY LIFE COM
MISSION REPORT.
Obstacles to Be Overcome Are Point
ed Out, Together with Sugges
tions for Guidance of the Na
tional Government.
Washington. Report of tho commis
sion on country life, of especial inter
est to the farmers, was read In both
houses of congress. A summary fol
lows: To tho President: The commission
on counlrv llfo herewith presents Ha
report. Tho commission tlntla that
agriculture In tho United States, taken
together. Is prosperous commercially,
when measurtd by the conditions Hint
have obtained in previous years, al
though there tiro aomo regions In
which this Is only partially true. Tho
country people are producing vast
quantities of supplies for food, Bheltor,
clothing, and for use in the arts. Tho
country homos are Improving In com
fort, attractiveness nnd healthfulness.
Not only In the material wealth that
they produce, but in the supply or In
dependent and strong citizenship, the ag
ricultural people constitute tho ery
foundation ot our national elllciency.
As agilculturo Is the immediate basis
of country life, ho It follows that the
genet ill affairs of thu open country,
speaking bioadly, aro In a condition
of Impiovcment,
Most Prominent Deficiencies.
Vet it Is true, notwithstanding nil
this progress ns met nit ed by hls
toilcal .stiindaids, that agilculturo la
not commercially as piotltable as It la
tntltled to be for the labor and energy
that the fanner expends and the risks
that he assumes, and that the- social
conditions in the open country are far
shoit of their possibilities.
-I'lir. rnrijnns fnv tin. Inplr nf n lilrMilv
organized niral society aie ery many,
as the full report explains. The lend
ing specitlc causes are'
Lack or good training for country
life in the schools;
I-ick ot good highway facilities;
The widespread continuing deple
tion of soils, with the Injuiious effect
on rural life,
A general need of new and active
leadei ship
Other ciusea contributing to the.
geneial result are: Lack of any ade
quate sjstem of agricultural credit,
whereby the fatmcr may readily se
em e loans on Talr terms; the short
age ot labor, a condition that Is often
complic.ttt d by Intemperance among
wot knit n, lack of institutions and in
centives that tie the l.iboiing man to
the soil: the burdens and the narrow
life of farm women; lack or adequate
supei vision of public health.
Nature of the Remedies.
Congress can remove some of the
h. idicaps of the farmer, and it can

The establishing of a nationalized
svstem of etenson work In rural

ON COUNTRY LIFE
SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM WHITE
HOUSE TO CONGRESS.
President Suggests Social and Bust
noos Improvements for the Bene
flte of tho Dweller In Agri
cultural Communities.
Washington. Accompanying the re
port of the country life commission
the president sent a special messago
to congress, substantially as follows:
To tho Senate and Hollso of Represent
atives: 1 transmit herewith tho report
of the commission on country life. At
the outset I deslro to point out that not
n dollar of the public money has been
paid to any commissioner for his work
on the commission
The leport shows tho general condition
of farming llfo In tho open country, and
points out Its larger problems, It Indi
cates ways In which the government, na
tional and state, may show the poplo
how to solve some of these problems, nnd
It suggests n continuance of tho work
which the commission begun.
Those engaged in all other Industrial
and commercial callings have found It
necessary, under modet i economic con
ditions, to organlrc themselves for mu
tual advantage and for the protection of
their own particular Interests In relo.
tlon to other Interests.
Now, whatever the state may do to
ward Improving the practice of agri
culture, It Is not within the sphere of
any government to reorganize the farm
ers' business or reconstruct the social
lire or running communities. It Is, how
ever, quite within Its power to use Us
influence and the machinery of publicity
which It can control for cnlllng public at
tention to the needs of the facts Tor ex
ample, It Is the obvious duty or the gov
ernment to call the attention of farmers
to the growing monopolization of water
power The farmirs, above all, should
have that power, on reasonable terms, ror
cheap transportation, tor lighting their
homes, and ror Innumerable uaes In tho
dally tables or the fuim.
Necessity for Co-Operation.
The co-operative plan Is the best plan
of organization wherever men have tho
right spirit to carrv it out. Under this
plan any business undertaking Is man
aged by it committee, evtry man has
one vote, and only tine vote, and every
one gets protlts according to what he
sells or hujs or supplies It develops In
dividual responsibility and has a moral
as well as a financial value over any
otl-pt plan
I desire only to take counsel with the
farmers as fellow -citizens. It Is not the
p'roblem of the farmers alone that I am
discus-lug with them, but a problem
which affects everj city as well as every
farm in the country.
1'rom all that has been done nnd
learned threo great general and immedi
ate needs of country life stand out
Uirst, effective co-operation among
rainifts, to put them on a level with the
organized Interests with which they do
business.
Second, a new kind of schools in the
country, which shall teach the children
as much outdonis as indoors and per
haps more, so that they will prepare for
country life, and not ns at present, main
ly for life In town
Third, better means of communication.
Including good roads and a parcels post,
which the country pnople are everywhere,
nnd lightly, unanimous In demanding

To Develop Country Community.
To improve our svstem of agriculture
seems to me the most urgent of the tasks
which lie befoie us Hut It cannot. In
my Judgment, be eff. cted by measures
which touch only the material and tech
nli.il side nf the subject the whole busi
ness and life of the faimer must also
be taken into account Such consldeia
tlons led me to appoint the commission
on i-otintFy life Our object should be
to help develop In the country commu
nity the great Ideals of the community
life as well as of personal diameter. One
of the most Important adjuncts to this
end must be tho tountr chuuh, and I
Invite your attention to what the com
mission says of the countiy churth and
of the need nf an eMenslon of such work
as that of the Young Men's Christian as

When once the bislc m.iteiial neuls have

Ideal. In shoit, the fundamental facts
of human natuio apply to men and wom

annly to men and women who live In the
towns. Given n sudlelent foundation of

Linnets' wives on their childien be
