DARIUS

The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six c%ontending
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 q; dog or the bray of a donkey,
1t would be a great blessing and would
give u 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 a political arena and
by a clash of personal Aspirations
still the hammer and. stop the blow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys Of civilizations

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, OO0, 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.
b problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp of a
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
n statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods Of seed selection to
S40 AAVSS[ oy0IOAAdlAC duQ DIO1LdUl0
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
n 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 oyer-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 q
surplus of products.

CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
| PREFERENCE IN APPRO-
! PRIATIONS.
BY Peter Radford,

Ca :" -A- = -
This nation is now entering upon
an era or marine development. The
wreckage Of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
wal 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 flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea-, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
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 owe $51, OO0,-
600 for improving u Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50, OO0, 200
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted ct
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie w
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 chair
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy han(
upon commerce. No movement is 81
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribut,
it's benefits as that of a free Dor
and none can be more easily and ef
fectively secured.
