FARM COMMISSION REPORT
TO BE PUBLISHED SOON

was left unpublished. Practical
farmers as well as the technical ex-
perts who contributed to the work
both regretted the failure TO allow the
publication Of the report. which meant
that all the expense incurred and the
hard work OF the members OF the COM
mission and the scores of collaborat-
ors had gone for nothing.
The country life report is under.
stood TO contain many things with an
important bearing on the advance
ment of agricultural interests, and
much new information relating to
phases OF farm life TO which little at
tention heretofore has been paid.
One OF the principal topics which 1t
treats Is the relation OF women TO
farm life, and the little which has
been done TO tighten her burden.
Mans work has been advanced
through the invention OF labor-saving
implements Of all kinds, the report
shows, and the work OF the farmers
wife, for the most part, has been al
lowed TO continue along the same
lines which were followed out on the
farm OF hundred years ago. The re-
port also treats all phases OF farm
education, crop improvement distribu-
tion OF products, and farmers cooper
ative organizations.

of Des Moines, the new president OF
the National Conservation Congress,
that the work OF what was known as

important contributions TO the infor-
nation gathered by the famous COM
mission which was put out OF business
by the Tawney amendment 10 the sun
dry civil bill OF 1909, and these men
are naturally glad to know that. after
all, the results OF their work will be
