Some Random Thoughts.

The quotation from President
Hightower's annual report is made
principally to emphasize the idea ex-
pressed in the following sentence: I'm
the End place the success Of the COM
pany depends upon the development
OF an idea in the public mind The
people Of the South, as a whole, have
little conception that a most de-
plorable market condition exists in
this country. They can't be induced
to cooperate properly unless they un-
erstand the vast amount they are
losing each year by improper market
conditions. The surest and quickest
way to disseminate this knowledge
is through our agricultural colleges.
This instruction will not only be
given to the young men Of the col
lege, but through the department Of
markets in these institutions the pub
Tic will be informed from time to
time and knowledge Of real conditions
will be disseminated throughout the
South generally"
Thus wrote Mr.. G.. II. Hightower,
for years President of the Mississippi
Farers' Union, and since June 18th,
President Of the Mississippi A. and
NJ. college at Starkville. When that
was written the President Of the South
Carolina Union had already carried
the request for a study of marketing
to the University at Columbia and to
Clemson College. Finding it imprac-
tical to visit all the colleges Of the
State, he sent each and every one an
earnest letter requesting that the
matters Of Farm Finance. and pro-
duce marketing be studied. This is
not to detract one scintilla OF honor
from my colleague of Mississippi, but
to show to the readers OF this paper
that those of us who have given much
thought to these matters, sec that it
is "A Oh ana tnut we
have right to expect the colleges
and the educated minds OF the coun-
try to help solve these problems.
4
In only one instance did the head
of college seem reluctant to take
up the subjects. He said il was not
the province of the college to try to
teach marketing; that it could only be
done by practical men organizing
cooperative selling agencies, and Civ
ine an object lesson of scientific mar
kcting. Probably when he has given
moro thought to the matter. and
realizes what tremendous hold il
has "u the public mind, how Institutes
and magazines. ana congress and
Farmers Unions are wrestling with
tn' problem, hc Will revise his opin-
ion.
