NEEDS OF FARMER
SHOWN BY COUNTRY LIFE COM.
MISSION REPORT.
Obstacles to Be Overcome Are Point
ed Out, Together with Susges-
tons for Guidance Of the Ma
tional Government.

Washington.-RerC Of the commits
sion on country life. OF especial inter-
est to the farmers, was read in both
houses of congress. A summary fol-
lows:
To the President: The commissi on
on country life herewith presents its
report The commission finds that
agriculture in the United States. taken
together. is prosperous commercially.
when measured by the conditions that
have obtained in previous years. al
though there are some regions in
which this Is only partially true. The
country people are producing vast
quantities of supplies for food, shelter.
clothing, and for use in the arts. The
country homes are improving in COM
fort, attractivcness and healthfulncss.
Not only in the material wealth that
they produce but in the supply of in
dependent and strong citizenship. the ag
ricultural people constitute the very
foundation of our national efficiency.
As agriculture is the immediate basis
of country life. so it follows that the
general affairs of the open country.
speaking broadly. are in condition
of Improvement.

Most Prominent Deficiencies.

Yet It is true. Notwithstanding all
this progress as measured by his
toriChl standards. that agriculture is
not commercially a. profitable as 1t is
entitled to be for the labor and energy
that the farmer cNpends aud the risks
that lac assumes, aud that the social
conditions In the open country are far
short of their possibilities.
The reasons FOR the lack of highly
organized rural society are very many,
the full report explains. The lead
ing specific causes are:
Lack of good training for country
life in the schools:
Lack of good highway facilities;
The widespread continuing deple-
tion of soils with the Injurious effect
on rural life;
general need of new and active
leadership.
other causes contributing to the
general result are: Lack of any adc-
Guutc system OF agricultural credit.
whereby the farmer may readily Sc
cure loans on fair terms: the short
age OF labor. "A condition that is often
complicated by incompetence among
workmen lack Of institutions and in
contives that tie the laboring man to
the soil: the burdens and the narrow
life OF farm women: lack OF adequate
supervision of public health.

Necessity for Cooperation.


Necessity for Cooperation.
The cooperative plan is the best plan
of organization wherever men have the
right spirit to carry 1t out. Under this
plan any business undertaking is man
aged by a committee; every man has
one vote. and only one vote; and every
one gets profits according TO what he
sells or buys or supplies. 1t develops In
dividual responsibility and has moral
rs well as a financial value over any
other plan.
/ desire only to take counsel with the
farmers rs fellow-citizens. 1t is not the
problem of the farmers alone that / am
discussing with them but "A problem
which affects every city as well every
farm In the country.
From all that has been done and
learned three great general and immedi-
ate needs of country life stand out:
First. effective cooperation among
farmers. to put them on u level with the
organized interests with which they do
business.
Second. . new kind Of schools in the
country. which shall teach the children
~ much outdoors Az indoors and per
haps more. so that they will prepare for
country life. and not rs at present. main
~ for life in town.
Third. better means OF communication,
including good roads and a parcels post
which the country people are everywhere.

ON COUNTRY LIFE
SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM WHITE
HOUSE TO CONGRESS.
President Suggests Social and Bust
ness improvements for the Benz.
fits Of the Dweiler in Agr-
cultural Communities.

Washington.-Accom the re-
port o! the country life commission
the president sent special message
To the Senate and House of Represent
atires: | transmit herewith the report
OF the commission on country life At
the outset l desire to point out that not
dollar of the public money has been
paid to any commissioner for his work
on the commission.
The report shows the general condition
OF farming life in the open country. and
points out, it's larger problems; It indi-
Gates ways In which the government. ma
tional and state. may show the people
how to solve some of these problems and
II suggests continuance of the work
which the commission began.
Those engaged in all other indus rial
and commercial cullinRs have found II
necessary, under modern economic con-
ditions. to organize themselves for mu-
tual advantage and for the protection OF
their own particular interests in rela-
ton to other interests
Now. whatever the state may do to-
ward improving the practice of aGri-
culture, II is not within the sphere of
any government to reorganizc the farm
ers' business or reconstruct the social
life of farming communities. 1t is, how
ever. quite within its power TO use its
influence and the machinery of publicity
which 1t can control for calling public at
tention to the needs OF the facts. For cN-
ample, II is the obvious duty of the gov
eminent to call the attention of farmers
to the growing monopolization of water
power The farmers. above all, should
have that power on reasonable terms. for
cheap transportation. for lighting their
homes, and for innumerable uses in the
daily tasks OF the farm.

New York, July 10.-Sliding down the
ways as gracefully as any big modern
ocean liner ever took water, strange
looking little craft, which is replica
of Robert Fulton's Hudson steamboat
Clermont, was launched today under
the auspices Of the Hudson-Fulton cell
ebration commission at the yards of the
Staten Island Shipbuilding Company
Next fall, during the Hudson-Fulton

Aug. II, 1907, amid the derision Of the
anultitudes who lined the shores and
waggishly called the inventors expe-
dition 'FultorJs Folly"
The ceremonies today were witnessed
by about 5000 persons, including Chan
cellor Livingston. General Stewart T.
IWoodford, president of the Hudson
Fulton commission, presided. Mrs.
Alice Crary Sutcliffe, great grand
daughter of Fulton, christened the
first steamboat" as it slid into the
water. Mrs. Sutcliffe br9ke on the bow
OF the replica g. beautiful silver fihgre
glass vase filled with water from a we'll
on the old Livingston place at Cler-
mont -on- Hudson, where Fulton made
the first stop on the Maiden trip Of the
Clermont.
While the sponsor spoke dozen
carrier pigeons were released from a
wicker basket and started on their
flight north to their homes on the Hud-
son. On the leg of each pigeon a ribbon
was fastened bearing words from Full
toms essay to the friends of mankind.
The replica is as nearly a duplicate of
the original as the commission could
build from plans and dimensions noted
in some OF Fulton's own letters. She is
$50 feet long, 1s feet wide, and feet
deep, and draws two feet Of water.
