PINCHOT TALKS OF THE PLAN.
Chief Forester Advises Keeping the
Boys on the Farm.

The appointment Of the National Con-
servation Comm ission by President
Roosevelt marks an epoch in the history
Of the United States"
This was the opening remark made by
Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the Forest Serv-
ice. yesterday in discussing the work done
by the commission He pointed out many
contemplated improvements. especially in
farm life. On this 8Ir- Pinehot said
The Presidents appointment Of this
commission marks the inauguration OF the
third OF his great policies. First came
that Of the square deal then that Of
foresight. or. in other words. conservation
OF natural resources. and now what
might be termed the farm life policy.
the central idea Of which is 10 see TO il
that we have not only better crops. but
also better. happier. more cOntented. and
more efficient men and women on the
farm
Stay on the Old Farm.
My understanding Of the idea in the
Presidents mind in appointing the COM
mission Is that. while progress in the
country has been rapid. it has not been
sufficiently rapid 10 keep the farmers
boys and girls from going TO the cities.
Farm life ought TO be made so profitable
and attractive that the farmers BOYS
and girls will be ambitious 10 spend their
lives on the farm The superior attrac-
ton Of the city consists very largely not
only Of the better chance to make money.
but also in the greater vividness Of city
life
The social opportunities Of country
life are not sufficiently realized or made
use Of. There Is every reason why as
much attention should be given to the
development OF the farm life. the oppor-
tunities for enjoyment and Improvement
especially CT the farmers wife and
daughters. as TO that of the wife and
daughters OF the business man OF the
! town and city.
'.It is very desirable 70 find ont what
fIine of work and investigation should be
pursued 20 improve farm life along these
! lines Cooperation for buying and sell
I ing has made some progress IN the United
States. but on the whole We seem 10 be
I far behind several foreign countries in
/ this respect I believe what has been
done in agricultural cooperation. both in
the United States and other countries
should be brought 20 the attention OF the
{ American farmers generally for I believe
there is vast opportunity here for them
/ to relieve themselves Of the excessive
cost OF distributing their crops through a
series Of naiddleuen or commissioners be-
tween the farmer and consumer.
Cooperation the Thing.
Cooperative selling and buying has
done great things for the farmers Of HoI-
/ land. Belgium. Ireland, Italy. and else
I where in foreign countries
IN an address at Lansing, Mich. 2
year ago last May, President Roosevelt
for the first time brought this subject

There is a chance here for a very great
I service, not only to the farmer. but te
