NE EARM AMD THE MAPKET.

All sections of the country, particularly Geor
ga and the South, have for hearty satisfaction
over the Senates passage of Senator Hoke Smiths
bill providing for what is termed "a division of mar
kets' in the Department of Agriculture. 1t will be
the object of this division gather and dissent
nate information to systems of marketing farm
products both in the United States and in foreign
countries; to investigate the demand for farm
products in various trade centers and also
the current movement of such products; and,
after having thus secured specific data con-
corning supply normal demand and prices. to
distribute this information among the farmers them
selves through daily bulletins. In this connection,
the language of the bill itself is interesting:
1T shall be the duty Of the chief Of the bH-
reGH of statistics to collect through the said di-
piston of markets by any expeditions method,
as 6y telegraph, telephone, mail otherwise,
compile and report to farmers, formers organ
izdttons and societies of consumers daily bUIIe-
tins or teIegraphic reports of such information
and statistics aoiH enable them to adopt plans
of marketing that may facilitate the handling Of
farm products at minimum cost; provided that
aohen such reports or statistics are requested to
be furnished By telegraph or telephone, or by
methods other than the United States mail the
person or association making such request shall
GdUrace the fee for the cost of Transmission,
tohich shall be deposited to the appropriation for
the maintenance Of said divtsion Of markets"
Such service as this will be of specific and far
reaching value to farmers and, indirectly, to con-
sumers as well. 1t will keep the producers of the
country closely and continuously touch with trade
movements and will thereby reduce the chances of
congestion of products at some points and shortage
at Others it will place at the farmers disposal a
sorely needed knowledge of market conditions and
will thus do much establish system of agricuI-
ture on a businesslike basis
The past ten years have witnessed truly won
drous awakening to the importance of scientific
methods of cultivation The gospel of intelligent as
contrasted with haphazard farming has fallen upon
fertile ground and is bringing forth abundant results.
AS a consequence the soil is yielding larger and
better crops, a fact which that the people as
a whole are better off, But we shall never attain
until to the methods of science there have also been
added the methods of business
When a crop has been raised and harvested, only
half its story has been told There remains the all
important chapter of its marketing and it is just at
this point that sound business methods become in
markets to supply every farmer in the land with the
accurate and ready knowledge necessary to apply
such methods.

Senator Smiths bill is a practical stride toward
establishing and maintaining an adequate system
of agriculture; and surely this country has no need
that is more vital. France and Germany and other
world powers have spent billions of dollars toward
developing the business and the science of farming
That is why European land that has been and
harvested for thousand years produces today from
two to three times much per acre the average
American farm. This is very disturbing fact 1t
is due not to any natural condition, but simply to
our governments failure to its full respon-
sibility in rural problems.
These problems touch not only the farmer but
the public as a whole; they ramify through every
field of our economic and social interests 1t is
disquietng circumstance that the population of the
United States is fast outstrippng its supply of food
Each year there are hundreds of thousands of new
mouths to feed; but there is no proportionate in
crease in the production of bread meat To this
condition is DUE in part at least, the steady and
burdensome increase in the cost of living.
1t might LOGICALLY be expected that comparative
scarcity of food would result in better prices to the
producer. Such however is not the case for, while
the farmers expenses have been steadily growing,
his net income has not appreciably advanced
Here, then, are two problems existing side by
side: The need of more food products and the need
of farer profits on those produced The solution of
the farmer lies in scientific methods of agriculture
and that of the latter in businesslike methods of
riculture Both these ends will be attained when the
state and federal governments duly apply their
means and energy to the task of making farming in
this country science and also business.
This can be done through agricultural schools
and colleges, through farm demonstration work,
through bulletins expert agents and, particularly,
through such a system of regular market advices
that for which Senator Smiths bill provides. This
measure is especially important for the that
it supplements the general educational work in which
the government is now engaged and goes directly
to the farmers business needs.

Form of Court Oath May be Changed

"promise' or declare" for the word
"swear" in the formula.
Since the introduction OF Senator
Buttons bill the attention OF the judi
ciary committee has been called to the
fact that several of the most progress
sive countries of Europe have nate
rally changed and modernized the
ancient and Anticipated forms of the
oaths used in judicial proceedings. No
country as yet has gone quite SO far
az Switzerland.
The cantons of Zurich and Aargau
took the radical step of entirely aboi-
ishing the oath several years ago. and
the result has been 30 satisfactory
that there 10 NO desire to return to
the old system. When the great coun.
ell Of the Canton of Vaud at its last
session considered the draft of a new
civil code, the abolition of the oath in
any form from judicial proceedings
was strongly urged. and. after an in.
teresting debate, a provision abolish
ing the oath was incorporated in the
new code. which went into effect on
January 1 Of this year.
