NATIONAL CONSERVATION CONGRESS TO
Be IN REALITY A FARMERS CONGRESS

( Kansas CITY, Mo, Sept. 9.-lf We
can carry out our present plans for
/ the National Cons eryation Congress
in Kansas City the latter part OF this
month, the printed proceedings of that
/ meeting will be one OF the most val
| liable publications that has ever been
/ gotten out, so far as the farmer is
concerned" That is the statement OF
Henry Wallace, president of the con-
seryation congress to be held here
September 1927. The principal efforts
OF the officers have been directed to-
ward making it in reality a farm and
farmers congress. The railroads
have made a low rate for delegates
and visitors, and convention hall.
where the congress will be held, will
offer space for 1000 delegates and
good seats for 10000 others who may
come TO the convention as visitors.
Farms and farming will be the prin-
c.pal topic OF that convention and the
addresses will be delivered BY men
foremost in the national life and men
recognized as unquestionable author
ity in their various departments. Pres
ident Taft will speak on the opening
day and it is there that he will give
his own views OF conservation. While
he is expected TO touch upon farm
topics. his address is TO treat mainly
OF the Alaskan question that is now
point OF discussion.
Other speakers will be such men as
Liberty H. Bailey of Cornell Uniyer.
sity, eX-Secretary James K. Garfield
several of the cabinet officers, experts
from the agricultural departments
and from various agricultural colleges
and experiment stations: representa-
tiyes from the great National Farm
Societies, such as The Grange, and
the cooperative associations, and men
and women who have made a study of
home life on the farm. the country
church, the country school and the
clubs and social organizations of the
farm communities. 1t will indeed be
farm congress and the reprint of the
addresses and papers will prove
publication of real value to every far.
creased yield from his labor and his ,
land.
Soil Conservation, may be given .
as the general broad subject to be
discussed at this convention. The Ma.
tional conservation commission in its
report OF two years ago, showed that
OF the land area OF the United States,
excluding Alaska and the insular pos
sessions, little less than one-half is
occupied as farm land. Two-fifths of
it generally requires irrigation and
one twenty-fifth of the area requires
dwrainage. The population is con.
stantly growing and this growth
brings up the question of food supply
