QUESTIONS.

OYSTER Bay, l.. ASSERTING his be-
lief that the increase of the well being
of the American farmer has not kept
lace with that of the country as
whole President Roosevelt has re-
quested five experts to serve as
commission on country life and CON
duct an investigation aimed at bring
ing about substantial betterment oil
the social, sanitary and economic
conditions on American farms.
He has asked that this commission
seek n solution Of the problem as To
how farm life can be made less soil
tary, more replete with opptSMnity,
freer from drudgery, more comfortable
and more attractive.
The men invited to serve as mem-
bers of the investigating commission
are Prof l.. II. Bailey of the New York
State College of Agriculture; Henry
Wallace of Wallace Farm, Des
Moines, Iowa. Kenyon l.. Lutterfield,
president of the Massachusetts Agri-
cglural college; Clifford Pinchot, OF
the United States Forestry service;

vice
THE Presidents appointment of

Inauguration of the third Of his great
policies, the central idea of which is
TO see to it that we have not only bet
ter crops, but also better happier,
more conteIted and more efficient
men and women on the farm.
My understanding of the idea in
the Presidents mind in appointing the
commission is that while progress in
the country has been rapid, II has
not been sufficiently rapid to keop the
farmers boys and girls from going To
the cities.
Farm life ought TO be made so
profitable and attractive that the farm
ers' boys and girls will be ambitious
