Back TO the

present situation. the desertion Of the
farm, its low state of productiveness. its
lack OF competent labor, with an attend
ant physical, mental and moral retrogres-
sion.
So a widespread interest has been aroused
by the proposition OF Governor HadIey Of
Missouri to organize the National Farm
Homes Association, with the philanthropists
OF the country as stockholders, to help
worthy applicants who seek to escape from
the city back TO the land He proposes
to@incorporate this association at s., 600 Coo

$1,000 each II these shares pay dividends
they viii be added to the capital or paid
to the stockholders.
With the money provided by this asso-
citation colonies will be located, according
TO present plans. on model farms in Texas,
Missouri, Alabama and other states where
land is cheap and fertile. Forty acres will
be allotted to each farmer home will
be built for him. fences and the necessary
equipment for farming and instruction will
be provided and livestock furnished. For
ty-two of these farms will make up a col
ony.
Governor Hadley believes that if his plans
can be carried out they will bring about
more scientific farming, and through it re-
duce the cost Of living. Similar back to
the farm projects have been tried with
varying degrees OF success for some time
in Europe.
The ready made farm idea has just
been initiated in the irrigated district of
Southern Alberta, Canada, by the Canadian
Pacific Railway. with the recent arrival
OF one hundred and sixty families of farm
ers from Great Britain. Each Briton is

FARMING NOT FOR EVERY ONE.

Thoughtful persons have been forced to
realize that this question Of helping people
back to the farm to reduce the cost of liv
ing is mighty big one. with many sides
to 1t, yet one that every person who has
the good of his country at heart should be
interested in. Those who have investi-
gated the subject most thoroughly have de-
cided that farming is not for everybody. 1t
was brought out at a recent conference
here of heads of railroads, prominent agri-
culturists and produce men to discuss the
whole matter that assisting people to re-
turn to the land as the solution of the cost
of living problem depended upon who re-
turned and under what conditions he went
