How the Nlillers Farm

Up in the seetien of country where
the Forder district and the Karval
district blend are two and half
sections of land owned by members OF
the Miller family. Chester Miller is
the senior and with his wife Is loca ted

two married sons and two married
daughters, and these five families own
and occupy certstn other portions of
these two and hslf sections. Farm
ing which they do, however. is not
done in common although the lands
are all adjacent, each owning their
own.
Eyes we like it here" said one of
the junior Millers, when asked some
thing about the eountry' and as 10
how they enjoyed farming there.
I'VE like IL because we are living 10
an ideal section Of the country with
ideal climate and are making money,
despite the fact that we depend on
rainfall exclusively for moisture. We
are all doing we'll" Asked how his
farming was done and what methods
they used he remarked. "We keep
in touch with the bulletins from the
agricultural college at Fort Collins

advice given By these Instructors at

strong endorsement for needing the

A revenue Of $50 for alfalfa seed

of these farmers last year, and 1t was
the fourth sueoessiye year the same

A Vital Part of Agriculture
BY Peter Radford.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until 1t Ia 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.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 1t gets within the grasp Of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 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 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.

by a lureau Of the Federal Reserve

In the beginning OF the national
banking system the Comptroller Of
the Currency had a place. The new
banking system can get along very
well without him. All the necessary
powers Of examination and supervi-
sion are already vested In the Federal
Reserve Board. and those possessed by
the Comptroller are an expensive and
irritating duplication. Also. true cur
rency reform looks to the eventual
supplantlng Of all bank note issues
with Federal Reserve notes, and the
Comptrollcr's direction Of national
bank issues could properly devolve
upon the Federal Reserve Board.
Moreover. the elimination Of the Of
fce Of Comptroller would be another
step In the direction Of averting polit.
