Work to Help the Farmers.

The commission has tried to help the
farmers to see clearly their own prob
lem and to see 1t as a whole: to distin-
guish clearly between what the govern
ment can do and what the farmers must
do for themselves: and 1t wishes to bring
not only the farmers. but the nation as
q whole. to realiEe that the growing OF
crops. though an essential part. is oniv
part of country life. Crop growing Is
the essential foundation, but 1t is no
less essential that the farmer shall get
an adequate return for what he 9rows:
and 1t 10 No less essential-indeed, it Is
literally vital-that he and his wife and
his children shall lead the right kind
Of life.
For this reason, 1t Is Of the first i'm
Dortance that the United 8tAAaD depart.

COST OF PANAMA
 CANAL FILING UP

Washington, May 2S-A quarter of a billion dollars will have been appropri- ated by Congress for the purchase and construction of the Isthmian canal if the estimates for the expenditures in canal material for the fiscal year be- ginning July 1. 1910, are agreed to by Congress next winter.
 These estimates, amounting to about $65, 100000 have just been received in Washington from the canal zone and are being reviewed by Secretary of War Dick inson.
 Already there has been appropriated for the purchase of canal rights from France and Panama and for construction a total of s210,060,O00 Secretary Dickinson finds 1t very difficult to reduce the es- inmates and Congress itself has learned that a reduction of the estimates mere ly invites a deficiency appropriation later. The estimates for the canal are sent to Congress independent of the appropri- ation for the military estimate proper
