Dean of Cornell College of Agriculture
Cannot Serve as Chairman of Com
mission, but Considers Plan Highly
Commendable.
Cooperation among the farmers
of the United States In the put chase

This -was made evident at a confer
ence between Gilford PInchot of the
commission and the farmers.
Liberty L Ualley, dean of the Cor
nell College of Agriculture, who was
recently appointed by President
Roosevelt to be chairman of a com
mission of live to investigate the so
cial, snnitary and economic conditions
on- American farms, sent a letter to
President Roosevelt declining the ap
pointment on the ground that lie can
not give the subject the time he con
siders would be necessary to such an
important matter. Dean Ualley ex
pressed his regret at being unable to
undertake the work, saying ho consid
ered the idea highly commendable.
In appointing Dean Ualley head of
the commission, President Hoosevelt
wrote him a lengthy letter. The pres
ident snid in the letter that "while
the condition of the farmers In some
of our best farming regions leaves
little to be desired, wo are far from
having reached so high a level in nil
parts of the country."
The commission was asked to re
port to the president recommenda
tions for Improving farm life. It is
stnted that the president will incor
porate thoso recommendations In a
message to congress, probably early
next year.
