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. Including
