PROBLEMS OF FARM LIFE
President ROOsevelt's Commission
Reaches Washington and Be-
gins Work on Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-That there are
problems and difficulties of a serious char
acter affecting the farmers from one end
Of the country to the other, the solution of
which they are going to demand was the
declaration Of l.. II. Bailey, chairman Of
the Country Life commission. who with
four other members of that body arrived
here today to prepare their conclusions for
presentation to President Roosevelt. The
first meeting of the commission to consider
its report was held today. The commission
expects TO have the report in the hands of
the president the latter part of the month.
Everywhere said Prof. Bailey, there
are serious economic questions along the
lines of distribution, marketing and the
lack of effective cooperation among the
farmers.
Farmers are in need of organization and
more particularly Of social organization.
We found, for example, where farming is
very prosperous the social conditions may
not be very good. Great emphasis has been
placed on the deficiency in schools and of
better highways"
