''Br1efy stating It, may sum the whole

why are the farmers interested in ex-
pansion and American ships?"
= Because he furnishes 70 per cent of
the entire export trade of this nation
from the farm, and as things are at the
present time has only one market to sell
his surplus crops to, and must enter INTO
competition with every nation who has
surplus crops to sell for this same mar
ket, and the intensity Of this competition
enables that nation to set the price on
the farmers crops, as the price paid for
the export crop is that paid for the en-
tire crop Of the world
Therefore we find ourselves without the
protective legislation which is given to
all other industries because we have i'm
mense surplus crops to hunt a market
for, and cannot have legislation such as
the tariff and protection to aid the Indus
try of agriculture 49, ses
What remedy do you propose?"
why, finu new markets among the
nations who are not our customers now,
and extend it into Oriental and African
countries" s
What effect would this have on the
farmer?"
why, it will create new market for
his surplus crops and divert a large por-
ton of the export trade from this country
from Liverpool to new country, which
would take thisSvast volume out Of COM

who are near the Liverpool market, which

etc. This on the average crop Of this
nation, of 600, 900, 900 bushels, would mean
a clear profit to the American farmer

above what he is getting under present
conditions. of $780, 600 This can
be better appreciated when it is known
that the margin on the farmers crop Is
very close to the cost of production
but how do you expect to secure this
new market?"
This is the most hopeful prospect of
the successful accomplishment of this pol
Icy. We must remember we are dealing
with big proposition and one away be-
yond the confines of narrow political par
tisanship, and even beyond a great ma
tienal measure, as it partakes more of
great international project, as the des-
tiny of the entire world will be affected
in proportion to the extent of the deye1-
opment of this plan.
Remember that the world consumption
of wheaton -four is about 200 00O, 900
bushels per month or 2,4O0, 900. 900 per
annum, and Is consumed by about 500,-
100000 people in the wheat eating coun-
tries of the world, while 1000, 600 peo-
pie never saw wheat -four, and as the
surplus crop Of an average year in the
world would be about 1G0, 000, 600 bushels
above the demand And this is the sur
plus which destroys the value of the
worlds crop as there is more than the
demand. Now it would take only one
tenth of bushel to this million of peo-
pie to get rid of this 100 600 bushels,
while the population of the wheat eating
countries would be about five bushels
per inhabitant. It would not take long
to find new market in this vast and
populous district of the world If we went
to work at it with intelligence and deter
mination.''
What effect would the American ship
have in the development of this general
project?'
Why this proposition is second in i'm
portance only to the raising of our crops
AS on it must we depend to see that our
products reach these new markets. Be-
cause we have no American ships to
speak of at this time. Fully 90 per cent
of our export trade is carried in foreign
ships at the present time. We are pay
ing the vessels of foreign nations $780,
100000 annually to carry our products
to the markets of the world. We would
be a helpless victim to the dangers which
our own short-sightedness has imposed
on US, If such calamity should occur,
