THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
sy Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t is solved, for q market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti'
tutions have spent $1S0.000,0O0 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 it. It 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 over-production 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 a
surplus of products.

NOTE is FRIENDLIER
THAN FIRST SUPPOSED

Washington, June 10.-The Unit
ed States sent to Germany note
reiterating its demand for repara-
ton for the loss of American lives
in the sinking of the Lusitania and
setting forth clearly the earnest de-
sire of the American government
that Germany signify its early ad-
herence to the principles of inter-
national law-that neutrals be per-
mitted to travel on unarmed ships
without being subject to the dan
gers of submarine warfare. The note
is couched in much more friendly
terms than it was believed would be
used when the unsatisfactory an
swer to the American note of May
l3 arrived from Germany.
High officials generally held the
view that Mr.. Bryan's statement
constituted a virtual surrender OF
American rights guaranteed not on
ly by international law, but by spe-
cific treaties betweent the United
States and Germany. Mr.. Bryan's
suggestion that Americans do9not
take passage ON American ships
carrying ammunition was in direct
conflict, it was pointed out, with
the Treaty of 1928 between Prussia
and the United States, wherein eth
er party In time of war is given
the right to free access to belliger-
ent ports for. commerce in arms and
ammunition and other contraband.

DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today,
II our partisan factions and petty pol
iticians could only settle their dis
putes by the neigh of a horse, the
bark Of dog or the bray Of q donkey,
1t would be great blessing and would
give our citizens q better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
By raising rows and who fash swords
dripping in the blood Of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by = clash Of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quaFrels must be settled
In the back alleys Of civilization.

too much to expect. They place EN-
phasis on this one fact:
"The issue Is made on submarine
warfare as affecting American ship
ping and American lives. The i'm
preston given by the first Ameri-
can note that the United States
practically was attempting to de-
mand an end of submarine warfare
they say, is disposed of by the mes
sage sent to Berlin Wednesday"

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo-
PRIATloNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era of marine development. The
wrsckage OF European commerce mas
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products OF farm ana
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our nag
ia seldom seen In foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy We have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, foreign DOT
tom would be unknown on the ocean
highways.
This article will be confined to q
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. we
have In this nation 81 ports, OF which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-secono
Congress appropriated over S6l'OOO,'
900 for improving our Rivers ana
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $5O.OOO,O 600
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service Is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted ON
the backs of the farmer Of this ma
ton 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. 1t 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 80
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that Of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef'
fectively secured.

EXPECT A REPLY IN 10 DAYS
Washington Hopeful That Wilson's
Message, Instead of Precipi-

Friendlier Relations

Berlin, June IL (via London)-
The note was handed by Ambassa-

office yesterday. 1t is regarded In
diplomatic circles here as decidedly

than the stories reaching here by

quarters was that a favorable re-

settled down to await Germany's 5
answer, which was not looked for

Roots.
81 will study and get ready and
maybe my chance will come"
Abraham Lincoln.
The bulbs that I put down in the
cellar to get ready to grow have been
| brought up stairs. They sit in the
sunlight now and are sending THEN
| pale green shoots up towards the
sun.
| The daily development of these
roots, as everyone knows, is beauti
! full to watch, but beneath the sur
face of the water is another miracle
of growth which, though it usually
wins less attention, somehow fasc1nates
me. While the bulbs were down eel
lar waiting for the chance to grow
ing down into the water dozens of
exquisite little silver roots. For ever7
stalk there are at least a dozen roots
that go creeping and clamberinS
about the bowl, twining around the
pebbles, holding the bulbs upright and
seeking out nonraShment for them.
Without these busy little roots even
the call of the sun would not make
the slender green blades carrying the
flowers-to-be sheltered between them,
grow upward.
One bulb, for some reason, failed
to send it's roots down during the
period of preparation: it has started
to do so now but it has just little
runt of stalk and 1 am afraid it
will never catch up with the others
that have such a head start.
One of the destinations of studying
animal or plant life is finding whiIIi-
steal little analogies to human life.
The bulb that put handicap on
itself by not sending down roots in
the time of preparation makes me
think of the human beings who set
themselves back in the same way.
The reason that some people are
ready to respond to opportunity while
others are not is that during the
enforcing passivity, some of us are
sending down roots and some of us
are not.
A man who held small position
as the custodian of a very old house
was asked by one of the visitors some
construction of the house. He knew
nothing about the subject but being
the kind of a man that sends down
roots at once began to study the
question. He studied it so thoroughly
that year later when a man to DEM
onstrate the use of certain woods in
old houses was wanted by lumber
position has meant money. the chance
to travel, romance-in short a new
life to him, all because he sent bown
roots.
In this way, self education on any
subject is one of the roots that will
chance to grow; knowledge of hum
an nature is another; habits of perse-
verance, of order. of system are others,
an attractive presence is a very val
liable root OF course there are many
others, but to cite more is superfluous.
You know what mean already. The
question for us both is-how are your
roots?
