partial or complete cooperation Of
farm work; the obliteration of the

FARM VILLAGE
IS SUGGESTED
There Is Nothing Impractical In
Plan and It May be Easily
Accomplishment
Conditions.
tBy 8. c. MILLER.)

Isolation, lack of society and utter
loneliness, the three great causes of
dissatisfaction with farm life present
a not very difficult problem--if 1t is
really problem at all. 1t is rather
serious and very unpleasant condition
which can only be relieved In one way
in getting together. The only cure
for loneliness Is company. AS long as
farm houses are widely separated as
they now are farm folk will continue
to be lonely and suffer all the distress
of isolation. The telephone has helped
some. Relatives and neighbors can
hear each others voices at ell times
and in all weather even II they can
not see each others faces. 1t facili-
tates the transaction of business
between farms and the market places;
but in this respect 1t may be ques-
toned whether 1t does not In a way
add to the isolation of farm life be-
cause 1t does away with the necessity
of personal meetings and this per-
vents that friendly intercourse be-
tween neighbors and merchants SO
necessary to relieve monotony and
which tends toward contentment.
So, that even giving the telephone
and trolley and even the automobile
all the credit that is due these factors
of social life they do not begin to cure
the condition.
1t has been suggested that the farm
ers of the future will live In villages
or camps and go to their outlying
farms in the morning, returning only
at night after the days work is done.
There is nothing Improbable in this
plan but on the contrary 1t may be
easily accomplished
A section Of land generally contains
| from four to ten families whose homes
are placed as far apart as possible.
BY bringing all the houses of the fam.
lilies to one common center the neu-
cleus of village would be formed
which might later include the families
of adjoining sections and form a
compact village OF from fifteen to
thirty families.
