President Roosevelt tells John Appleton Stewart that he supports the movement about which Stewart wrote, which addresses the needs of people in agricultural areas and small towns. Several states in the East are neglecting their duty to their country districts. The United States Department of Agriculture will do what it can, and Roosevelt will cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce in Syracuse or other interested groups. (The Chamber called a conference that fall to study conditions in the rural areas of New York.)
