The Conditions of Farm Life.

President Roosevet's Countrywide COM
mission has lately made public its careful
andinterestingreport. Itasserts, of course,
that agriculture is generally profitable, and
the conditions of rural life are steadily i'm
proving. Still the farm is less profitable as
a business, and less attractive as aplace OF
residence, than it should be.
Many farms do not pay because OF bad
roads and unintelligent cultivation, ending
in soil exhaustion. Properly built roads,
crop rotations, persistent maintenance OF
soil fertility, are fundamentally necessary
The commission also finds, in some dis
tricts, speculative holding OF land, control
of streams and water-power by interests
which prevent the farmer from utilizing
these natural assets, and soil destruction
following wasteful deforestation.
A parcel-post, postal savings-oank, a
thorough study oftaxation andthe tariff as
it bears on the agriculturalist, and an ex-
tension of the principle Of reciprocity are
specific recommendations which the COM
mission makes. II insists, too, on the i'm
portance of an understanding OF the ele-
ments of hygiene and sanitation, and on
the necessity ofimprovingt the rural school
by introducing practical methods OF in
struction similar to those so successful in
the agricultural colleges.
The problem of farm labor, it is believ-
ed, can be met only by smaller holdings
and more systematic tillage, = intensive
farming, in short, for which many hired
hands are not needed. incidentally, it is
noted that in the older parts OF the country,
immigrants, accustomed at home to this
sort of cultivation, are gradually dispos-
sessing the native stock.
Not the least important subject discuss
dis woman's place on the farm. The old
household industries having been taken
over by the factories, the womanf finds her
life more than ever one ofroutine. An in
creased share in the lighter field and gar
den-work, social organizations, like read
ing and study-clubs, and such convent
ences as telephones and running water are
mentioned as things which help to make
country life more attractive to active and
capable girls and women.

There is great joke being told on the
Denison, Tex, saloon men, who wanted
to test the liquor law but didn't want to
risk Jail sentence themselves. So they
hired tramp to stand trial, agreeing to
pay him 81 a day for his time. He got
his jail sentence, the case was appealed
and delay ensued. The per diem grew
bit irksome and the sacrificial victim
was released on bond. Then every day
the bondsmen were tapped for money
and drinks by their scapegoat, who
threatened to jump his bond and leave if
his demands were not met. This became
too expensive, and the second trial was
hurried up. Then Mr.. Tramp got a year
and a half in jail and is drawing his two
dollars day, and enjoys the situation far
more do his hackers.

To Teach Bird Value.

To save the natural wealth of America
by educating its people regarding the val
lie of wild bird life, as the only sure
check to the insect pests that are rapidly
devastating the crops and woods OF the
country, is the object of movement that
was set on foot recently in New York.
Headed by the National Association OF
Audubon Societies, campaign is TO be
begun in every section of the continent
which it is intended shall result in the es-
Enlistment OF a national university de-
voted to the conservation of American re-
sources through the preservation OF the
killing birds. Suitable endowment
for an educational institution OF such vital
economic importance is to be at once
sought by officers of the association.
To greatly extend the educational work
that is now being pushed with all the
funds at the command of the Audubon
workers is designed to be the main aim
of the proposed national university.
Skilled ornithologists are to be employed
in investigating, compiling and Analysing
scientific data showing the capacity OF
various species of wild birds for Destroy
lug such pests as the Gypsy Moth, the
Boil WeeviI and the Brown Tail Moth,
whose ravages have been known to cost
the country one billion dollars in its crop
yield each year. Men and women lee
turers, trained at the proposed university,
will be stationed in every section OF the
continent to present to the people proofs
of their enormous loss in agricultural
wealth due solely to lack OF knowledge OF
the work done by the feathered insect
eaters, that nature intended to check crop
plaques.
On the children of the land, who will
face this most pressing problem when bird
destruction has brought on an even more
appalling spread of crop-killing insects,
the Audubon officials declare they must
base their hopes for the spread of con-
servation through the bird resources of
the nation. Trained teachers are to be
assigned to conduct summer schools
among the teachers Of every region and
through them to reach the great body OF
future American citizens. The prepare
ton and extensive circulation OF illuStra-
ted, educational pamphlets on the eco
nomic uses of wild bird life is deSignedto
be one of the chief activities of the new
national institution, as it is ofthe National
Association of Audubon Societies at pres
emf. Text books treating OF all the local
wild birds will be published and iSsuedto
every school.
'Nothing but the education OF the
American people on the value OF the wild
birds as crop and forest preservers can
now avail to ward off the impending ag-
ricultural devastation of this land" said
William butcher, president of the National
Association of Audubon Societies. eff
some one or more persons OF wealth de-
sire to bestow upon their country the
greatest possible benefaction, now and
for all time, no better way could be de-
vised than to endow such national uni
versity on conservation through bird life
as we have projected. We shall exert
our best efforts to procure this extension
of the educational work that we have
been pushing foryears. i"
