TO We PROBLEM
or LIFE ON FARM
Department of Agriculture /
About to Embark in Work
Of Wide Importance.

WASHINGTON. June 16. = The
broadest investigation yet undertaken
by the department of agriculture, dee
signed ultimately to solve some of
the great problems of farm life, Is
being planned for the rural organiza-.
ton service, which has just been es-
tablished by Secretary Houston. The
secretary and DIR. T. N. Carver, OF
Harvard, who is at the head Of the
new work, are confident of splendid
results.
The rural organization service will
work in closest cooperation with the
newly created division of markets,
marily to problems connected with
the marketing of farm products at
profit. In many instances it Is not
the lack of a market that prevents
the farmer from turning over profit
but inability to utilize the means for
reaching the market.
Organization Problem.
The first great problem" said DR..
Carver, lis intelligent organization.
There are enormous difficulties in the
way OF effective organization The
citrus fruit industry of the Pacific
coast furnishes a wonderful example.
Unorganized. the orange growers Of
California could not market their
crops at a profit. With their present
effective organization the difficulties
in the way of reaching the right mar.
kets are reduced to minimum.
Take another illustration. This
beet sugar manufacturers are organ.
lied. AS result they pay the farm-
ers who raise sugar beets only enough
to keep them at the work. II the
farmers were organized the farmers
would make the manufacturers pay
at least a fair profit. Unorganized
they can only accept what the manu-
facturer is willing to pay.
THE farmer is quite capable Of tax.
ing care of himself If he can be put
in possession of the necessary infor.
nation" says DR.. Carver. Generally
speaking, the farmer must do his own
organizing, and not depend either up
on financial agencies or upon govern
mental agencies for the doing of the
actual work. The government, how
ever, has facilities for collecting, tab.
ulating and spreading information
which neither individual farmers nor
groups of farmers possess.
cit is not only necessary that the
farmers income should be increased.
but that country life should be mads
sufficiently attractive to induce the
farmer to remain in the country even
when he has a large income.
To Improve Social Life.
again, the opportunities for an
agreeable social life need to be great.
ly improved in the country, and this
will eau for a high degree of CO..
operation among country people.
Ever since Aristotle 1t has been re-
peated by each generation that man
is a social animal, and it is common
observation that men seek those con-
ditions under which they may assoc
ciate with their fellows, even at a
financial sacrifice, rather than iso.
lation.'
