|THE VITAL PROBLEM Of.
AGRICULTURE
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
Is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutiOns have spent $18O,0OO,O0O in 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 one
and one which will never be solved
lntil it gets within the grasp of
ggantic organization where master
ninds can concentrate the combined
Experience and wisdom of the age
pon it. 1t is a problem which the
IaFmers, merchants, bankers, editors
'nd statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
fAele Is IN farming from the most
iclentifc methods Of seed selection to
ine most systematic and profitable
pans Of marketing, but does not be-
'PeVe in promoting one to the neglect
y the other. We consider the work
4 farm demonstrators valuable and
'e ask that governmental and COM
perelal agencies seeking to help us,
sOntlnue to give us their assistance
sld advice, but we believe that their
pluence should be extended to the
tarketing side of our farm problems

II enterprises by the merchants load.

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
.ouesEss SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo.
PRIATIoNS.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
:, era of marine development. The
~-.ctaee = of European commerce has
s4fted to our shores and the world
var ~or is making unprecedented de-
ronds for the products of farm and
s,ctorv In transportation facilities
=, land we lead the world but our port
s.cilities are inadequate. and our flag
! seldom seen in foreign ports. If
anr government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer.
mo the railroads to mastering the
commerce. of the sea, a foreign bot.
.om would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro.
dncts of the farm must pass over our
vbarfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
n are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,OOO,.
0OO for improving our Rivers and
Hsrbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $5O,OO0,0OO
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma.
tlon and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
Of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
It's benefits as that of a free port |
Ind none can be more easily and eff. |
ectively secured.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
l---IntroduCtory

Through the Press Service of Agri'
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and men
who talk seldom achieve. There is
no such thing as noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him." Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be
crown without a cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge.
This is an age Of service, and that
man is greatest who serves the larg-
est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
tion since human motives began their
upward fight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers we're plowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic

/ moved on two-wheeled carts driven.
and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while
her artists were painting divine,
dreams on canvas, the streets of
proud Athens we're lighted by fire
brands dipped in tallow.
The genius of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds of today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
Of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving it. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach in creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization, the mar
velous achievements of the tremend.
Gus men of the present day. Edison
can press a button and turn a light
on multiplied millions of homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions of people; Nc.
Cormick's reaper can harvest the.
worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en-
gine moves the commerce of land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did it; Kings decree it, and
wise men teach it. 1t is the glory Of
this practical age that Edison could,
find no higher calling than to become,
the janitor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind; Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for its servants.
