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 $3.50, 0O0, 900 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 1t. 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
Va 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 prDducta

How To Avoid Drowning

Now is swimming time and drowning
time. How to avoid drowning should be
fixed in every persons mind who goes
bathing. The following information
may be valuable for many to know.
The worst thing to do in an accident
is to founder around and shrek and cry.
That expels the air from the lungs and
then the body will quickly sink. With
this fact understood we may experiment
with a number of things to show how
little it takes to support the body. The
high silk hat of a man contains sufficient
air to keep him from sinking if he
grasps if by the rim and holds it upright
so tnGair is imprisoned under the hat.
Even a derby hat will support a half
grown boy or girl if held right.
Dishpans and buckets or tin pals can
also be used as life preservers. Invert
these in the water and grasp the rim
with both hands, and do not tip them
so the air can escape. Not long ago a
party OF girls out rowing had their boat
upset i'll a mountain lake. All of them
except one could swim. This girl had
an umbrella with her, raised to ward off
the SUMS rays when the accident oc-
Cured. Finding herself in the water
some distance from the boat, she grab
bed the nearest thing in reach. 1t
proved to be her umbrella, floating with
the handle down in the water. She
threw both arms franticaIly around the
open umbrella. TO her surprise, and to
that of her comrades, she did not sink.
The imprisoned air under the umbrella
supported her head above the water un-
til help arrived.
The small amount of air, contained in
a bicycle tire will keep ones head above
water for hours. Even if one is g
fair swimmer, the day may come when
a know ledge of some of these everyday
life preservers will prove Of the greatest
value. II thrown in the water a long
distance from shore you may be able to
float and swim with such an aid three
times as far as you could with out them.
