SOUTH CAROLINA. | % The Lumber Man. Indiana Farm Hand Writes About Country Life. Washington, Oct. 17.—An Indiana farm hand has written a letter to President Roosevelt about the work which the Country Life Commission Is carrying on. The President has turned the letter over to the Coun try Life Commission and the com mission has asked the farm hand to write some more. “I have been a farm band just long enough.” says the President’s correspondent, “to learn the cause of so many sons and daughters and well- meaning. reliable farm hands leaving the beautiful farm and country and going to the city. A lack of order and system on the farm and too long hours for a day is what is driving the best minds from the farm to the city and shop. What can we expect of ft hand, or the farmer's wife and her posterity, in the way of intellectual development when they get out of their beds at 3:30 in the morning and work from that time until 8 or 9 p. m.? And no attention paid to the sanitary conditions of the home, and necessary conveniences on the farm for doing the farm work with the least labor'and time.” This man has given the Country Life Commission some very interest ing first-hand information about rural conditions and recommendations based on a long experience in farm work and farm life. He has work 1 for all kinds of farmers, good and bad. he says, and he has always had his eyes open to detect the causes of their success or failure. He has drawn his own conclusion at|d sets them forth in down-right, straight forward fashion. Education pays In farming, he says. The farmer who plans out his work and carries it through in a systematic, business-like manner, just as the city man does, will bo able to shorten the hours of labor. “So many farmers measure everything on the farm the standpoint of muscle,” he continues, “and are extreme in some things and slack in others. I decided several years ago that life is too short to work for Peter Tumbledown farmers.” “Now, Mr. President,” he writes, “you can take this for what it is worth. I have not given you half of my experience." The Country Life Commission has written him that his daughters on the farm he must not lengthen the hours for a day’s w r ork at both ends. Limit the hours of work on the farm to twelve or thirteen with pay for overtime, and freedom to the hired man on Sunday.” The Country Life Commission welcomes letters like this, because as Professor L. H. Bailey, chairman OP the commission, recently pointed out, one of the objects of the investigat ions of the commission will be to ob tain, as fully as possible, the opinions of both farmers and of their hands concerning the question of farm labor and the condition of hired help. It is likely that when the Country Life Commission reaches Indiana in the tour of the country which it will make early next month it will en deavor to get Into personal touch wMth this letter writer, the best agricultural papers and books, and a full faith in God, and good grub is wanted. “The family should rise at 5 o’clock on Sunday morning as well as on week days, and do the necessary Sun day morning chores, and then go to church and show the business man in the city that Sunday on the farm does not. consist in changing the stock from one field to another, or salting it, or unloading a load of hay that was brought in on Saturday evening. “Coming to the meals at the meal hour makes It easy on the wife, so she can arrange her household duties in order, as can also the husband bis farm work. “Men of worth and standing in the shop and city tell me that if order and system were used - on the farm thev would go back to the farm. If the farmer wants to keep his sons and suggestions are so useful that, they hope he will send more. “Compel the farmer to be a busi ness man,” he says. “Go Into the homes of some of the farmers and the so-called farmers and ascertain how they live, and learn of their methods of doing business in which they are engaged. And you will be surprised what a variety you will find. Ascertain what they lead, and what stress they put on the litera ture that comes Into their homes (If any comes) bearing on the business they are engaged in. See what per cent study their business. “Give me the educated farmer as a boss and the educated farm hand as a hand. When I come in contact with a hand or farmer that studies his business I find him advancing, and it is a pleasure to work for such men. “The majority of the farmers are eight-hour men, that( is, eight hours in the forenoon and e,lght In the after noon. Eight or tent hours on the farm cannot well be adapted in all cases, but It need n^t be from four teen to sixteen bourn. If the family arise every morning at 5 o’clock and the wife and daughters attend to the household duties, and : the farm hands and sons attend to thd chores and go to the field at 7 o’clock and work un til 11 or 11:30 and |;o to the field again at 1 and keep at It until 6 o’clock, and go to the house and eat the supper ami then do the evening chores, they have dnine a farm day’s work. Regular hourb for work, and regular hours for meals, and regular hours for sleep, and regular hours for rest and recreation, with plenty of standard papers and hooks.
