Agricultural Problems.
In his letter to members of the en-
tire commission OF eleven to study
"agricultural1 problems the governor
said:
The problems confronting the new
administration are many and difficult.
In seeking to solve these problems, I
feel the need of the cooperation and
assistance Of the people Of u state
who are especially familiar with diff
ferent phases of these problems. Not
the least difficult and pressing Of these
problems are those dealing with the
agricultural interests of our state.
Agriculture is our chief industry and
the best possible solution of the vari-
Gus problems presented in seeking the
welfare of those engaged in this in
dlstry ought to claim our immediate
and continued attention"
In outlining what is expected OF
the commission, the governor said
I'm the first place. 1 would be glad
to keep in communication with you
about the problems of administration
during the coming spring and sum-
mer, and in the second place to have
your advice with reference to recon
mendations to be made to the next
session of the legislature.
There Is no provision OF law for
any payment for the services Of such
a commission and it is difficult to ar.
range to meet even the expenses OF
such a body, but I would feel that it
would be wisdom to have at least a
couple of meetings of the full COM
mission-one during the first three
months of the year for the purpose
Of formulating and making n gen
'ral recommendations for the admin
istraticn, and another meeting in
November for the purpose Of offering
suggestions n recommendations tc
the goYer'yr for incorporation in his
message to the legislature. I am con-
tident that the actual and necessary
expenses for attending a couple such
meetings, the industrial scommission
will be- very glad to defray."
In addition to the suggestions out
lined for the commission, the gov.
ernor invites them to investigate any
problems relating to rural life that
they nay deem it advisable to inves-
tigate. rr
Women TO Be Named.
An auxiliary commission composed
exclusively of women to assist the
commission OF eleven to investigate
problems affecting agricultural anG
rural life will be named by Governor
Nestos later in the winter, he an.
nounced today.
This commission of women will be
charged particularly with aiding tr
the investigation of methods thai
would make farm life more attrac'
tive, a problem assigned to the com
mission as q whole.
