And how would you bring about
anything like an equality between the
country sections and the cities in the
respects which you have mentioned"
asked
GOOD ROADS.
swell. one way. said the secretary,
is the construction of more good
roads. Where they have good roads
the communal life of agriculture sec
ions is improved. Good roads lead to
more cooperative endeavors. They
lead to better school houses, because
where there are good roads more child
rem can come TO any one given poinl
and it is then possible to have large
school with good teachers rather than
a little school house with a single
school teacher.
Then, too, with good roads it would
be possible to have county physicians
to do for families in the country just
what paid city doctors are now dong
for the poorer part of the population
in the big cities. Opportunities for
entertainment and tor social inter-
course also would be increased by
bringing the people who live in rural
into close relations. All
these things tend to make rural life
more attractive and decrease the desire
of those living IN the country to seek
the city. In time the tendency might
be the other way.
ALSO farmers must be brought to-
gether so that they will be able to do
their business through agents rather
than middfemen. 1t is along these
lines that agricultural prosperity -
which means general prosperity will
best be secured IN the United States
and not through spasmodic efforts ex
srted to meet unusual conditions. -

FOOD PRODUCTION
MAY Be INCREASED
European War Likely to Cause All Ma
tons to Make Greater Efforts In
Producing Food and Thus
Demand on us. Less.
By Justin M'Grath.

BY Justin M 'Grath.
sought an interview with Secretary
of Agriculture David Franklin Houston.
to ascertain what he thought of the
suggestion that since the foodstuffs
productions of the warning nations
probably would fall off, American
farmers might well be urged to in
crease their production. The thought
had occurred to me that it might be
wise for the American farmers to grow
as big crops as possible during the
coming year, not only because they
would have better opportunity than
ever before to sell their products
abroad, but because of the not improb-
able contingency that production above
the normal home demand might be vi
tally necessary to the United States.
The way put this latter suggestion to
the secretary was: 'We have been
hearing a lot about our national de-
lenses. What are we dong to improve
our food defenses?"
The response of Secretary Houston
to both suggestions was Illuminating
and instructive, and ought to prove of
great interest to the country generally.
The secretary is a conservative man.
But his conservatism would never be
COMPOUNDED with lack of initiative. 1t
is a conservatism which comes of deep
insight into the problems with which
he deals. He creates the Impression
that he is man who is always in men,
tai motion, but who chooses after de-
liberation the direction in which his
mental energy can be applied with the
best assurance of definite and desirable
results. He has deep-set eyes and
large brow, which contracts as he
talks, indicating a habit of thinking
carefully before speaking.
MAY INCREASE FOOD.
at IS mistake to think that war
necessarily means decrease in agri-
cultural production. In the Balkan
countries farm productions increased
while the war was waged. The same
was true of the northern states during
our civil war. There is no good reason
to suppose that farm production in the
European countries now at war will be
lessened during the coming year, even
if the war should continue through the
summer. On the contrary, it is quite
likely that greater attention will be
paid, and greater energy applied to ag-
rlculture in those countries than during
the past year.
1.-The people of Great Britain, of
France, of Germany and Austria" the
secretary continued, care intelligent
people. They realize fully and per-
haps keenly the Importance of All ade-
luate food supply for the successful
conduct of the war.
ct is as necessary that the supply
should be adequate for the needs of the
civilian population as well as for the
armies i n the field.
NEARLY SELF SUPPORTING.
Germany and Austria, of the coun- |
