The first recommendation OF presi-
dent Roosevclt's farmers uplft com
mission Is that farmers get together
in order to stand on a level with the
other people with whom they have
to deal Intelligent farmers have
been trying to 10 this for forty years,
but have as yet only partially sue
ceeded The reason is that they live
apart from each other and get in the
habit of each attending to his own
business in his own way But good
roads the telephone and the cultiva-
ton of more intimate social rela-
tons are removing or overcoming the
obstacles in the way of cooperation.
The farmers have learned by expert
ence, too, just what kind of organiza-
ton they need
