MR
THE FARMERS
Washington, Aug. 25. That the
commission recently created by Pres
ident Rooaevelt to investigate social
conditions on the farms of the country
will prove to be the mont Important
and far-reaching of any of the re
forms undertaken by direction of the
chief executive, Glfford Plnchot, chief
forester of the government, and Jilm
self one of the commissioners, firmly
and enthusiastically believes.
"The president has done more' for
the farmer by this move," said Mr.
Plnchot to a United Press correspond
ent, "tlutn any other single act In the
history of the country. Too many far
mers' sons are leaving the homestead
for the more attractive life of the
cities;, the president thinks, there
ought to be some way In which to
mokv.llfo on the farm so attractive
that la,' In some other way than money
returns that there will be surplus of
formers, rather than a shortage. He
thinks the national well-being, lies
with the farmer and he Is right. If
social conditions were Improved there
need be no dearth of 'hands for the
harvest time.
"No," continued Mr. Plncho(, "I
don't believe the president had any
particular section of the country In
mind. The farmer of the west needs
social enjoyment just as much as his
brother of the south, of the north, or
of the east" ; ; ,
The farm" Improvement idea Is ' a
brand new one in many respects,
There are many organizations working
for' a "back to nature" exodus; there
Is a "homecroft" organization which
wants city men to try the delights of
country life, but the Idea of retaining
the farmer by making his environ
ment more pleasureable Is new.
True, Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief gov
ernment chemist philosopher, auto
crat of the Poison Squad breakfast ta
ble, and exponent of the aUnny life,
somo time ago suggested a plan where
by the farmer could get more social
Intercourse, but some of the obvious
disadvantages more than out-weighed
Its many excellent points.
In brief his plan embodied the fol
lowing points:
On every quarter section of land,
where the corners meet, the farmers
owning land In each quarter section
should build their houses. That
would mean four dwelling and four
fnmlllea within speaking distance of
each other. Dr. Wiley thought that
life wouldn't be so lonesome on the
farm with four families forming a
small-str.ed village every few miles.
