“Outlook.” later published in a
book entitled-"Rural Problems
in the United State*," Plunkett
asserted that his movement
anticipated the lines of the well
known formula of the President:
“Better farming, better living,
better business.” Plunkett made
a curious and thought-provoking
observation In his book "Rural
Problems in the -United States."
Plunkett stressed that the "well
being of a people is like a tree:
agriculture is its root, manu-
facturing. and commerce forms
its branches."
Challenge’ *
These convictions, shared
and expressed by both Plunkett
and Theodore Roosevel mate .
it obvious that therproblems of
rural life stressed in the message
by the President 55 years ago,
are a challenge to both en-
lightened citizenship and to
civil government. It may not be
so clear, however, why the
church should single out agricul-
ture among all the fields of econ-
omic endeavor for its special
concert! Religion raises the stan-
dard of justice and charity
whereever human beings earn
their living in association
with their fellows. The social
doctrine of religion must be ap-
plied to every field of economics,
but why specifically is there a
Catholic Rural Life Conference?

This article fittingly commem-
orates the 55th anniversary of
President Theodore Roosevelt's"
important message to Congress
.on rural life in America That
message with its keynote of
“better farming, better living,
better business" awakened in
our country a tardy interest in
the .welfare of rural ‘people and
contributed directly to the es
tablishment of the National
Catholic Rural Life Confrence.
Theodore Roosevelt-always
generousty. acknowledged his--------
indebtness for ideas in the rural
fjeld to the statesmen who had
established phe Irish Agricul-
tural Organization Society, pear
ly 20 years earlier: Of these, the
best known was Sir Horace
Plunkett who spent a decade
ranching in Montana.

- It is a question of keeping a _

field of agriculture. It is qbvious
that not all the, children horn on
the farm ca reasonably "be ex-
pected to remain there There
is a surplus that most overflow
into the city for the benefit of
both country and .city. Success-
ful farming requires a working
knowledge of scientific princi-
ples, chemical and biological,
and at the same time a rapacity
for business management and
mechanical skill, a combination
rarely required in other occupa-
tion.

It requires talent and character
