The genius of past ages sought to

seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task

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

Gus men of the present day. Edison

The greatest thing human being

this practical age that Edison could

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 market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $1s0.000,000 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
until it gets within the grasp Of q
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom Of the age
upon 1t. 1t is a problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans Of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
Of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and COM
mercial agencies seeking to help US,
continue to give US their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side Of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-
featuring by overproduction Of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load
Ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by Cutting the market with q
surplus Of products.

powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that tho one whose horse

settling disputes among politicians

It would be great blessing and would

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

It 10 . sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for q political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide Of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic. un-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and

way the West Virginia leaders are
