Government aid

President Roosevelt thanks L. H. Bailey for his work on the Commission of Country Life. He believes farmers and members of the rural community should feel that they are part of the commission. Therefore, Roosevelt suggests Bailey arrange community meetings to discuss such topics as roads, postal facilities, and rural schools. Bailey is to find out what rural conditions are, what farmers can do themselves, and how the government can provide aid.
