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 1t 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 $1S0,00O.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
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 nope 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.

Strengthened II Out.

Archbishop AIagce was once present
Mt n full dress debate on the eastward
position. when doubts were expressed
as 10 the exact meaning OF the words
before the table" After speech or
two Or. MnGee seized II piece of paper
and wrote: AS to the phrase. The
piper played before aIases' doubts
have arisen. Some believe its meaning
TO be that the piper played before
Moses-that is. mt n period anterior to
his birth. Others hold that the piper
played before Moses in the sense of
preceding the great lawgiver when he
danced. while others teach that the
piper played ,coram Nose, before or In
the presence of Moses when the son of
Aiiram dined. All these are wrong.
The phrase IS to be understood as i'm.
plying that the piper played Mt the
north end of Moses. looking south"
The document was handed mn to Arch
bishop TAFT. who looked grave.

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.
If 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 donkey,
it would be great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry I'M
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the pillow
and that their quarrels must be settled
in the back alleys of civilization.

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

Tb;s nation is now entering upon
a, era of marine development. The
wreckage of European commerce mas
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
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 bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to
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-second
Congress appropriated over $51.Oo0.-
900 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50.0OO,OOO
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 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 heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is SO
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.

The horse had run away and was
tangled up III the wire fence at the
side of the muddy road. Its half wit
ted owner had kicked and sworn and
tried to lift the animal till he was out
of sorts and covered with mud.
A well groomed man came along
took in the situation and suggested
Spring the fence back: then he can
get his feet free"
The owner of the horse did as he was
told. Now give him II cut with the
whip and he'll get up HIMSELF
This the owner also did. Then he
looked mt the horse. up and ready fol-
travel: looked mt himself covered with
mud and looked ut the immaculate
gentleman in the road. Wrath filled
his soul.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
introductory

know America" is q slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi-
zen. and no one can merit so dis
tinguished title until he is well in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements Of our country.
This 10 4 commercial age and CIV
ilization Is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products OF their age. For, stand
ing at the source Of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the COM
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors. poets. phil
osophers. architects. and artists Of
earlier civilizations.
