The orchard will add tho the value

to the land that grew the peas. he
can get fully 80 per cent of the ma

With the Message Goes the
Report of the Country Life
Commission, Which Is Very
Instructive
FARMER CALLED THE
cOUNTRY'S STRENGTH
Missouri Farmer Informs the
Commission That Govern
ment Should Pay Pensions
To Certain Mothers.

washington Feb. 9.-President Roose-
welt sent to congress today a special
message transmitting the report Of the
country life commission appointed by
him to investigate. the conditions of
life on the farms of the country and
to make recommendations of ways and
means whereby farm life may be made
more remunerative and attractive.
In the message the president lays
stress upon the fact that the farmers
and their families are the stay and
strength of the country and that what
ever tends to make their lives less
burdensome or unattractive is neces-
sary to the interests of the nation.
He praises the work of the members
of the commission who, as he says,
have labored without pay and do not
now ask compensation for their work.
Theonly recommendation in the mes.
sage is the request for an appropria-
tion of $4,000 to enable the commits
sion to digest the material it has col
lected and put it in such shape that
It will be available for the nation.
In an appendix to the message, pre-
ceding the report of the commission.
the president comments on the replies
made by Missouri farmer to the ques-
tions asked by the commission. Ito
the question, is the supply of farm
labor In your neighborhood satisfac.
tory?' the answer is, No. because the
people have gone out of the baby bust
ness and when asked as to the RENE
dy he answers, Give apension to every
mother who gives birth to seven liv-
ing boys on American soil.' /"
