Excerpt from Early to Bed and Early to Rise: Twenty Years in Hell With the Beef Trust, Facts, Not Fiction
All my manhood life I have been dealing with farmers. Hence I became greatly interested in the efforts of Presi dent Roosevelt to better the conditions of the farming com munity, and I took the liberty to address him a letter, com mending his efforts and pointing out some ways in which I thought the good work he was interested in could be more effectually accomplished. That letter he referred to the Country Life Commission.
The Commission replied by asking me to give them some additional information along the same line. This request reached me four days before I was to start on a trip through South America and Cuba, -so I had but a few days to pre pare the data asked for, but I complied with their request as best I could.
