One thing seems perfectly clear: Mr, Roosevelt's commlssion on country life hasn't settled the “farm problem. Every naper and almost cvery maga- zine I pick up has a whack at the sub- ject. Some half-contemptuously I nore the repory or openly sneer at it; some half-heartedly defend it. But nobody sees in it a final solution of the question. | don't suppose anyone really expect- ed it to do anything revolutionary. If anyone did, he was unreasonable. One great trouble with the commission, as with almost all who write about the tapic, is that they don't know and can't ‘be made to see the real, commonplace, gordid, bottom facts in the problem. Most of the people who write about farmine questions are not real farm- ers. They are better fitted to use and more famillar with the pen than the hoe-handle. And most real farmers can's write what they know with the clearness and force which only a train- od writer attains. Result: Skimmy reports skipping over the surface and stumbling on & few projecting humps, but no real analysis from the bottom up. If a commission could be composed wholly of real farmers, men who ri cetve no salaries as professors, or div- idends from investments, no for writing, no income from an source on earth than the soil-~men who have to live- on what they can wring and twist and force and cajole out of the'dirt their deeds give them title to—such a commission might bring up a little real sediment from But the en out of ten that such chances are the management of detalls and habit- uated by litelong struggle to the prob- lems of their own ndividual fields and farm-steads, would be unable to gen- eralize, to sympathize with or even to understand the problems of the other fellow. Each man of such a commis- sfon would be able to tell, better than has ever vet been told, that phase of the matter which he, rersonally, has to handle, But what is one farmer or nine farmers to the nine o ten mil- lions who dig airt from Maine to Ore- on; who grow potatoes and hay in ermont and pineapples and kum- quats in_Florida; who breed fancy stock in New York and beef in New Mexico; who raise corn in Illinols and “raise h-1I" in Texas >—That. you'll re- member, was what Phil Sheridan once said to be the normal Texas crop. most of the writers abso- to get within gunshot of the real matter. ust been reading a whole “sympo: dozen articles—and each one touching the one sore the writer hapnens to be tenderest about; and several flatly contradicting each other. A fellow rises from the perus- a1 of them with his previcus confusion worse confounded. He feels as if he'd | come from a mob fight. One has pounded him on the back; one has blacked his eve; one has dropped a rock on his pet corn: one has jabfed him in the stomach with an umbrell one has turned him facing the north, and onc has whirled him about to sou sou’-west by sou’ and all have kept on kicking at him all the while. He's had an_interesting time—mighty interest- ing; but he doesn't feel that it has been particularly informing. About the only things that so many as two of these disputants 3 about were that the farmer couldn't earn money enough to get what his family want: that he had to do dirty rk: that his life was isolated and humdrum, and that he Midn't mix enough with the gay and giddy throng. Of course the average farmer doesn't have money enough to all things he e and the y ones want. No farmer ever did, no farmer ever will. Nor will other human being, in any other occ pation J Rockefell can't get ‘all he wants, He wants the earth and the fullness thereof, and he sees, from past e: that he isn’t likely to live long enough to get it quite all. His high mightiness, the czar of all the Ru with an income of $7,000,000 a year, can’t afford ev. thing he wants. Even our mutual Un- cle Sam. with an income of between two and three million dollars a da can afford but two battleships a yedr, when he wants faur, and can’t find halt a million a year to establish a parcels post. The more a man has, the more he wants. If his income s $300 a year he wants a horse and carriage—which he can't afford; if his income is $3,000 a year, he immediately wants an auto- mebile—which he can't afford; if his 1K T0 FARMERS Roosevelt Commission Has Not Settled the Farm —The Average Farm Writer is More Familiar with the Pen than the Hoe Handle—The Problem is Too Great Not Come to the Farmer Until It Comes to All His 11 mean. “Good Time Hoped for will is unhappy through his unfulfilled de sires. The only way on earth to be contented is to be satisfled with what you've got; and that's a lesson men and women don’t and won't learn. Then the farmer has to do dirty work. Yea, verily, brathren, He gath- ereth dirt unto himself, hayseed in his hair, dust in his undershirt, gravel ig his boots, and grime under his finger- nails, Also, he perspireth ~profusely and he getieth slivers into his hands. 1t's too durn bad, isn't 1t? But h®s work fsn't any dirtier than the blacksmith's, or the painter's, or the carpenter’s, or the brickiayer's, or tha sailor’s, and the dirt he acquires he can remove more easily and completely than many oth- ers can. There are men who wear bet- ter clothes and show whiter hands, whose souls are dirtied with a fouln soap and sand can't scour Off. His life is_isolated and humdrum, they say. Is it isolation to be the cen- tral figure insa hundred acres of pal- pitating life—life animal and vegetable “_to tend and nourlsh a score of crops; to breed and bring up cattle and horses and chickens and ets; to . grow friends with the birds and to learn the shy habits of the trout; to live half the year in a beauty of greenery and flow- ers, and all the vear to have spread wlde before you the great book of Na- ture, wherein is written wisdom higher and’ deeper and vaster than any that was ever printed and paged? To be sure you don’t have to go to your fasks erowded into a stuffy car with a jos- tling mob; you don’t have to do vour work on a stool before three feet of desk; you don’t have to be trodden on or to tread on someone else, every time you move. If it's “isolation” to be deprived of these things vour soul hankers for—then get off the farm! You don’t belong on it; with all due re- spect for you, you aren't fit for it nor worthy of it; get off it; go to your own place and stop whimpering! And much 2o0d may it do v Then, farmers aren’t social enough, says another. Dear, dear; what next? Anyone who has evér known the dail history of a country store, has learned that a- certain sort of farmers are about as soclal as they make 'em. And anyone who has ever lived on a coun- try road knows that a certain sort of farmers’ wives never grow rusty from lack of “gadding” The trouble is that both of these gorts are poor sorts; failures at farm-keeping and at home- making, If they would “tbnd to busi- ness,” both sorts would be better off, and thelr whole neighborhood more comfortable and contented, They're too social, altogether. Déar fellow farmer, you know where your shoe pinches, but I do mot. I know which toe is cramped in my boot, but you do not. These outsiders who try to diagnose our discomfort don't know what's the matter with either of our footwear. Indeed, it's not much worse than_that of others. It is fairly adapted to our needs. if we'll only adapt ourselves a little, too. Farming isn't all beer and skittles, all fun and frivolity. It's hard work, but the majority of nfen must do hard work or the world will stop rolling— the wprld of humanity d progress It's underpaid work, but s long as human society, government, laws, are constituted at present, all productive work will be underpaid. It is really no harder work than that done by. other men in other avocations; it is really about as well paid, consid- ering skill and capital involved as other manual labor. We niust not ex- pect to earn falr wages for our work and make forty or fifty per cent. on our investment_ too. Honest men can’t do that sort of thing, and it's better ten million times better, to be an honest man than merely a rich man. Sometime, when men have outgrown childish greed, and have become really manly—when they have learned that the only sure individual good blossoms from the general welfare—when they have fully emerged from the savagery enlightenment of helpful brotherliness in that good time coming all the problems that make the farmer's life a daily struggle will drop into forget- fulne and he wil] stand up in his rightful place, the most worthy and most honored co-worker with Nature for the good of the world, But that good time for the farmer won't come till it comes, also, for all bis fellow men of whatever calling; not till hu- man nature has developed into some- thing finer and truer than now. Com- missioners can't bring that time: in- dividuale can’t bring it; but, nerhaps, you and I mey be able to ~at one or two stones loose in what is to be the route of its triumphal approach, thus making s0 much easier the work of income i= $30,000 a year, he wants an ocean-going yacht—which he can't af- ford. And, In each and every case, he the future’s road-makers. Let's try a pebble or two, anyway! THE FARMER. WINDHAN COUNTY. WEST WOODSTOCK. Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
