special ambassadors or trade, duly
accredited by the United States gov
ernment, into the several consuming
countries of the world, whose duties
shall be to keep the growers and man
ufacturers constantly advised through
daily, weekly or monthly reports as to
market conditions, so as to give op-
portunities for the extension Of the
American commercial sphere Of influ-
ence in these lines Of production and
manufacture, which are Of basic i'm
portance to the commerce and finance
of the nation. This recommendation
Is especially urged owing to the mil
lions Of dollars annually lost to the
nation because Of lack Of knowledge
Of marketing conditions. The am
bassadors Of trade should be men
thoroughly versed in all matter relat-
ing to the production and manufac-
ture Of these products.
Changes in Shipping Laws.
I'VE urge such changes in the ship
ping laws Of the nation as may be
necessary to restore the American flag
to the seas, and so develop American
commerce that the nation may reap
a proper and and just return from the
millions Of dollars expended In the
construction Of the Panama canal.

nation Of farmers cooperative organ
iZations for the purpose Of marketing
farm products, and further urge the
Federal government to establish bu-
reau Of marketing which shall report
weekly to the commissioners Of agri-,
culture Of the several states and to in
dividuals Yho may demand 1t.
I'VE earnestly urge the undertaking
by the Federal government Of the re-
clamation by drainage Of the seventy
or more millions Of acres Of overflow
ed lands, and the taking Of proper
steps to restrain the waters Of the
