The True Conquest

The only durable conquests. even
IN ages OF barbarism, are conquests
made by the plow. If this was true OF
the crude ages, when man lived for
the sword, and the tiller of the earth
was either slave or a still more
Wretched peasant, il is far truer TODAY
when civilization has built her impos.
ing fabric uton the expected bounty
OF the earth We mast maintain pro.
tect and extend those conquests by
which the race has won its way. II is

Others is that they are far more will
ing and indeed eager, to nroht bv ex-
pert and technical knowledge--the
knowledge that can only come as a
result OF the highest education. The
big business man, the big railway man,
does not ask college trained experts to
tell him how to run his business, but
he does ask numbers of them to give
him expert advice and aid on some
one point indispensable to his busi-
ness. He finds this man usually in
some graduate of a technical school
or college III which he has been train
ed for his life work.
in just the same way the farmers
should benefit by the "dvice OF the
technical men who have been trained
in phases Of the very work the armer

The country fair offers far greater

The country school should be made a

by the small farms they themselves
own. The problem OF the farm is
really the problem Of the family that
lives on the farm.
"One feature of the problem should
be recognized by the farmer at once
and an effort made to deal with it. 1t
is our duty and our business to con
slider the farm laborer exactly as we
consider the farmer. No country life
can De satisfactory when the owners
OF farms tend, for whatever reason, 10

working their farms; and more over,
It cannot be really satisfactory when
the labor system is so managed that
there is for part Of the year demand
Tor labor which cannot be met and
during another part of the year no
demand for labor at all, so that the
farmers tend to rely on migratory
laborers who come out to work in the
country with no permanent interest in
1t, and with no prospect Of steady EN-
ployment.
THE FARMERS WIFE.
Above all. the conditions of farm
life must always be shaped with a
view TO the welfare Of the farmers
vile and the farm laborer's wife, quite
as much as to the welfare of the farm
er and the farm laborer. To have
the woman mere drudge is at least
as bad as to have the man a mere
drudge. II is every whit as important

mize her labor within the house as j,

Die creature, Just as the corresponding
man is contemplate creature. But
the welfare OF the woman is even more
important than the welfare of the man
tor the mother is the real Atlas who
bears aloft i'll her strong and tender
arms the destiny of the world.
She deserves honor and considera-
tlon such as no man should receive
She torfeits all claim to this honor
and consideration if she shirks her
duties. But the average American
woman does not shirk them; and if is
matter of the highest obligation for
US to see that they are performed ul1-
der conditions which make for her
welfare and happiness and for the
welfare and happiness of the children
she brings into the world.

Ex-President Roosevelt has started
on his tour and in his first speech yes
terday at Utica, N. Y. made thous-
ands of farmers proud Of their busl-
ness. His speech was 5rimming with
wholesome advice. He advised the
farmers to take heed to the call for
them
"1he doctrinare is fool if he
thinks he can get along without the
practical man. And the practical man
is as much of fool if he thinks he
can do without theory" He told
them they should cooperate and study
business conditions Don't initiate
the morality Of the big business men
but get their efficiency"
That part of his speech relative to
Conser t.tism and Rural Life was as
follows:
"There are two public questions of
more vital Importance to the future Of
this country than, the problem of
conservation and the problem OF the
betterment of rural life. Moreover,
these two problems are really interde-
pendent, for neither of them can be
successfully solved save on condition
that there is at least a measurable
success in the effort 10 solve the other,
In any great country the prime ply
p sical asset--the physical asset more
valuable than any other--is the fertil-
ity of the soil.
I'VE are now trying to preserve,
not for exploitation by individuals, but
for the permanent benefit of the whole
people, the waters and the forests,
and we are doing this primarily as a
means of adding to the fertility of the
soil, although in each case there is a
great secondary use both OF the water
and Of the forests for commercial and
industrial purposes. In the same way
it is essential for the farmers them
selves to try to broaden the life OF the
man who lives in the open country, to
make it more attractive. to give it
every adjunct and aid to development
which has been given TO the life OF
the man OF the cities. Therefore
friends, the conservation and rural life
policies are really two sides of the
same policy, and down at bottom this
policy rests upon the fundamental law
that neither man nor nation can pros
per unless in dealing with the present
he steadily take thought for the future.
"ln one sense this problem with
which we have to deal is very, very
old In the past every civilization in
its later stages has tended really to
witness those conditions under which
the cities prosper and the men decay.
There are ugly signs that these ten
denotes are at work in this nation OF
ours. But very fortunatel'' we see
now wh3 never before was seen in any
civil,zation--an aroused and alert
public interest iii the problem, re-
cognltion Of its gravity and a desire
TO attempt its solution.

INTEREST WHOLE FAMILY.
"'Ihe farmer, however, must not
only make his land pay, but he must
make country life interesting for him
self and for his wife and his sons and
daughters. Our people as whole
should realize the infinite possibilities
OF life i'll the country, and every effort
should he made to make these posi-
b!nties more possible. From the be-
ginning OF time it has been the man

man born in the countrywide ha )
been most apt to render the services
which every. nation most needs. Turn
ing to- the list Of American statesmen.
II is extraordinary to see how large a
proportion started as farm boys But
it is rather sad to see that in recent
years most of these same boys have
ended their lives as men living in
cities.
Il hope that things will so shape
themselves that the farmer can have
great career and yet end his life as
a farmer SO that the city man will look
forward to living in the country rather
than the country man to living in the
city.
Farmers should learn how TO COM
blne effectively, as has been done in
industry. am particularly glad TO

we should all welcome every step

Joint action IT will be possible to inn
prove the market just as much as the
farm.
COUNTRY LIES ATTRACT

Country life should be as attrac
tive as city life, and the country peo
pie should insist upon having their full
representation when il comes to deal
ing with all great public questions. In
other words, country folks should de-
mand that they work on equal terms
with city folks i'll all such matters.
They should have their share in the
