The VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the marks
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attairad
until II is solved, for a marhei
is as necessary tor the producer
as land on which to grow his ;rop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tulons have spent $3.50, 200, 200 III the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants, but
very little attention and less money
has been given TO the marketing side
OF agriculture.
The problem is a monumental II
and one which will never be solved
until II gets within the grasp OF a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom OF the axe
upon II. It is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, edi;ort
and statesmen must unite in solving.

cundnue TO give Us their assistance

We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by Over.prcduction of the

tile enterprises by the merchants load
ing their shelves with surplus gond'
and no more can we develop asricul

The plan of shipping the setting

This brooding hen shipment
reached New York with biddy snug
