The committee recentlv nnmed by the president, Is composed of five men who nave done much toward the advance ment of the aclence of agriculture and who understand the farmer, his trials, hla opportunltlea and his capabilities The men named are Professor h. H. Ballev dean of Cornell College of Agri culture. New York: Henrv Wallace, edi tor of "Wallnce'a Farmer." lies Moines, Iowa: President Keni-on Butterfleld of the Agricultural College of Mnssn chuaetta; Olfford Plikchot foreater of the I'nlterl States, and Walter H. Page. , editor of "World's Work." Many "Whya" for rarraara. The plan of work has been already roughly blocked out, and a great dia gram ornamenting the forester's office Shows the line along which iho general Catechism will procepi. There are bout 10.nno.000 farmers In the Cnlted Btates and they with their families make a total agricultural population of 87.000.000 people. Many of these are leaving the farms. Already one third of th count rv'n population has eon- frregated In cities of more than fi.OoO nhabltants. Because of this constant migration cityward, which results In the congestion of the cities and the bandonment of good farms, the presi dent and his commission are asking of the 10,000.000 farmers and their fam ilies "Are you too, golne Why?" "Are you not happy on the farm? Why?-' and again, "Why and Why?" of many things. The land will receive tha first at tention at the hands of the cntechlats appointed by the general committee. What about the land supply? Is there enough for all? Of the farmer alreadv ettled they would know If the land Is hla, or has he leased It, or Is he a "share-cropper," and what the rental rates are in his locality, how much are the taxes? And If he owns the l.tnd. what did he pay for It. and what Is It now worth? Having set all this down they would know something of the laws and tenures pertaining to land In that particular locality. What sys tem is the farmer using extensive or Intensive? What is the character of his land humid, arid or riparian? If arid. Is he Irrigating it or Is he apply ing the science of dry farming? If It Adjutant A. I' Shmte and Mrs. Ploata have come 10 i.'ike chip of Salvation Army corps work at Madison and Third streets.

Bold by Srldmore Drug company. Is awamp land, how much can bo re claimed and has he reclaimed any? About Crops and Idarksts. They would know what kind of orofs the farmer raises on each farm. They would know how far it Is to a shipping point and how he se.ids his produce to that point. They know already that the average number of working days required to haul the annual crop of 12 lending products to market Is 21. 417.frin anil that It takes 30,319. noo wngonlonda to get It all there There must he some sv-stem of shortening the time, and whether It la to he don by having hetter roads, better teams, more systematic work on the farms or co operation among farmers and the build ing of traction lines to lessen the haul - that the commissioners mean to find out. Thev know that In some Rocky Mountain communities farmers make a I11111I of wheat or oats 100 miles and of wool 165 miles, and that certain farmers In tho far southwest have honied cotton hv wagon 110 miles Io these people find that long hauls pav? Can a better sv stem be devised for them or a less expensive crop? What kind of roads have these farm ers anvwav? If thev are dirt roads and harelv kept up. the commissioner nre likely to point out the fact that the land will consequently depreclat In value, 'the wagons and stock he worn nut. the general condition of the family have the same appearance of negleet for such Is the law of roads and road side dwellers. And of the Farmer Himself. They would with all politeness know of the farmer himself. Ia. h well-built, well-elad, well-fed'' Has he strength vitality and Intelligence that j argue well for his advancement In his chosen vocation? What about his fam- H'v and his help? If he employs one man. the conventional "hired man" of remote New Knpllsh places or If he employs his nunoreds or negroes on a southern plantation In the semi-feudal style of his ancestors the questions will be propounded just the same, for the commissioners would know the type of laborer, his hablta. his wages, his phvelcal and msmtal condition. Thev will go toward the house with the farmer and the catechism will con tinue, for the barns, the outhouses, the tools, the cattle, the, horses, the. poultry the hogs, the aheen, even the dogs! will come in for a polite inspection. What breeds of th ese has the farmer tried? What attempts has he made to Improve these breeds? Ioes he know that this variety of corn fed to his hogs will produce J75. where the kind he Is using will only produce J50? hat about the water supply for him self and his stock? Does he use well cistern or stream water? Mow Is It distributed on the place? Does he know Your Fall Suit. Sir so We're sure you'll prefer to buy it at a store where you'll feel at home the moment you cross the threshold. We know you like to buy your Clothes at a store where' there is a feeling of confidence on every side, and where you know that the Clothes are the best, and that you will get real honest value in return for your dol lars. In other words, Sir, if you buy your Fall Suit here you'll get satisfaction, as well as Clothes not an ad vertised, fictitious value. We've a magnificent line of Fall Suits artistically cut and tailored by experts. The new colorings in the fabrics are handsome.

Tlow nre his i hlldren cared for, as to food, clothing and education, and how does he car.- for the sick of liU household? The ln,o..r llfo of the farmers wife will be met with questions which are expected to ultimately bring , an awakening t" her and offer her aj lightening of bur, 1. us. a broadening of, ideas, a prolonging of jouth and health. Her kitchen Harden am! (lower garden will be visited. She will be nuked how much of her foM.i Is home-raised and home-cooked, and how much Is bought : In the reiuly-to-iiHO state. They will ask more closely as 10 what kind of cook she really is. Sometimes she will be i able to answer with a pride that Is Jus- I tided, in dishes that would make a king forget his ,-rown and long to be a! farmer forever and ever And again, she may be of that most patheiie of all t pes the woman of the poor whites of some remote southern community who do? not know how to cook, and whose nurrterous progeny bear every evidence of the fact In their sallow f.ves and : general laasltude. Then the esthetic j side of the home life will be looked j Into the decorations, the fancy work,! the taste evidenced In the furnishings - all will have their weight. The house- j wife's knowledge of hygiene and sanl- tation will bo tested. j Does He Know How to Farm? They would know how progressive each farmer Is What has he done for the upbuilding; of his particular farm?) Has he practiced rotation In crops, has j he studied the matter of fertilization, j and Is he tutored in the uses of the i proper kind .' Hoes he know that there i are laws In all the states east of the Mississippi and some west that protect the farmer In the purchase of fertilisers ' and tlrat the $50,000,000 yearly spent on I this commodity Is really worth while?! Hoes he read farm bulletins? Does he ever attend lectures on "farming, or drive over to the railroad when the state train with Its lecturers and sterenptlcon workers aboard Is ready to switch off there a few days and talk with him and show him how to help his crops along? Does He Cultivate Brains? Has he a good school, and has h ever thought what a splendid social center that schoolhouse Is; that read- I Ings. lectures and meetings for the: benefit of himself, his neighbors, their I wives and their children can be had ' there at little trouble and expense? : poes he belong to a farmers' Institute? Have he and his neighbors clubs, or combinations of any kind for Insurance, for the building of elevators, or ware houses, or for any other cooperative schemes? Have they a library or a hospital? Have they daily mail, tele phones, telegraph, railways or electric cars close to them? What have they done In the way of manufacturing their raw products by building cooperative factories, creameries, etc.? Do they know that there are 60 gov ernment experiment stations created by the Hatch bill of 1SST. expending $15,000 or more apiece every year, working in their interest, and ready to help them, and do they ever go or write for advice? Do they know that there are some 65 state agricultural and mechanical col leges, born of the Morril act of 1862. spending $1 1,000,000 a year, glve,n by state and nation, and having an enroll ment of 60,000 students? Are his sons there, and if so, does he mean to keep them on the farm when thev have grad uated and let them apply their newly learned wisdom to the betterment of his place, or Is he going on the obsolete principle that what was good enough for a generation ago is good enough for today? Does he know that these col leges will teach him and his sons and often his daughters. ton -agromonv chemistry, climatology, veterinary sci ence, moohanies, entomology, botany, dairying, business methods, and a dozen other things that will cleiate farming I many bundled fold nt.,,ve his present r status, if only advantage be taken of' them?
