THE FARMER AND THE MARKETS.

The profound Importance of the farm
cr getting the full value for what he sells
makes necessary editorial discussion of
that question.
The man who does not see that the in
crease in farm production, saving in cost
Of transportation of products, reduction
OF the expense to the farmer of borrow
ing, and saving of cost in selling, are
the most important questions with which
the people are confronted today, fails to
perceive the obvious and is blind to that
V hich is plain and patent.
1t is true because the food Of the peo-
he and the clothing of the people must
come from the farmer. and the less the
cost Of producing them is 10 him the less
it will be to the consumer; and the high
cost of living is, above all others, the
dominant, insistent, pressing question Of
the hour.
The cutting out of many middlemen
between the farmer and the consumer
has been strongly urged 10y Mr.. Yoakum
in the series of admirable addresses
which he has within recent months and
weeks made upon subjects relating to the
welfare of the farmer. In his address on
a national marketing association for
farm products, delivered in Dallas on
October 10, he made it clear that he did
not mean to interfere with the legitimate
commission merchants would always be
necessary. He means thai the farmer
should be kept informed as to what the
markets are, and says that, while the
government, has done much for the far
mer. in the matter of marketing it has
done nothing.
In this connection he uses, the follow
ing language, which deserves to be care
fully read and pOndered, not only by
farmers, but by every business man:
"A farmer when he has RACED his crop
has performed only half his duty; the
other half is selling, which determines
his profit for the years work. 1t is just
as important for the agricultural pro
queer 10 know what the markets are as
ii is for the lumberman. the coal and
orc producer or the manufacturer to
know what his goods are worth in the
market and what competition he must
meet i'll his selling.
1T would be possible to organize the
Southwest into zones of distribution and
to control the output in such Il way as
10 prevent congestion and wasteful
prices by o~vercrowding the markets. The
government of the United States should
assist the formation of such a co-opera-
tive marketing system by establishing
ample sources of direct information to
the producing communities. The time
has come when the government must pay
more attention to legislation for the
benefit of the farmers than it has paid
in the past.
In reducing the high cost of selling
have one of the l-ggest questions
hat must be answered in formulating a
constructive program for the bettcrment
Of agricultural citizenship i'll this ma
lion. 1t is a good basis upon which 10
to save as far as possible the 81
Dartment of agriculture as an unncccS-
.ents on the dollar shown by the de-
,ary. wasteful expense in passing pro
ducts from the producer to the con-
sumner. Houston Chronicle.

Colonel Bryan proposes to settle the
question. What shall we do with our
expresidents? He would admit them
to participation in the debates of Con
gress. without the right to vote in Con
gress. A simpler way will be to give
them a pension, forbid them to run for
Office. and let them alone 10 anluse them
selves in any harmless way that suits
them.

against the governor and other state
officials, who had undertaken to recon-
struct the historic Alamo mission. The
court held that the Daughters were leg
ally in possession, and mad a right to
forbid any manner of trcspass on the
property. The exact nature of the i'm
provempnt contemplated Thy the state
officials does not appear to be quite
clear. However that may be, the court
holds that any plans for improvement
CT any kind should be approved by the

Mr.. Wilson has not asked The Her
AIDS advice about the extra session. but
there will be no harm in offering it just
the same. He should wait until after
the fourth of March. In the meanwhile
he should think the matter over care
fully, after consultation with leading
statesmen, editors, ministers of the Cos
mel. and school teachers. When the time
comes he should call the extra session
if he should be of the opinion that he
should call an extra session. In this
wav he will be able to serve the country
and avoid hurting ~anybody's feelings
except the feelings of the people whose
advice he has not taken. \ little COM
mon sense is all it takes to make a good
president.
