ADDRESSES GOVERNORS.
Iowa Executive Discusses Marketing
Of Farm Products.

annapolis, Md, Dec. l7.-improved
marketing conditions for farmers was
urged by Governor W. l.. Harding o.
Iowa In an address here today before
the tenth annual conference Of gov
ernors. which opened yesterday and
will continue until tomorrow night.
Marketing should be studied. the
governor said, with these two thoughts
in mind: ITO present the farmer with
the best market now existing. and 10
create for him new markets for the
produce which he already has and to
open up new markets for new things
he does not now produce"
state Agricultural Policy" was the
topic of Governor Harding's address,
and was in keeping with the general
theme Of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ton.
The prosperity Of any country ~
guaged by the prosperity Of the far
mer," the = Iowa executive said.
The farmer being the source Of origi-
nal production is Therefore Of vital in
;crest to every citizen, no matter what
bis occupation may be.
In the past, agricultural poiicies
have largely dealt with the subject or
increased production. Tomorrow. the
agricultural lpolicy Of the state ana
nation should deal not only with pro-
d6ction. but should include the larger
field of marketing.
II can think of no line Of business
or activity where there is so mucn
chance as in that of farming. the
farmer must contend with the ele-
ments, which are always uncertain. in
greater degree than any other line OF
industry. So 7 may safely say there
is more gamble in farming than IN
aSy other occupation. If the seed fails
to grow. the crop is a failure. If the
sun fails to shine. or the rain fails 10
fan. or if it is too hot or too cold. 100
wet or too dry-all Of these elements
enter in before the farmer has crop
to place on the market.
1T issnot necessary before this body
to review what has been done thru
agricultural colleges and other>agen-
cies to increase the fertility OF the
soil. improve machinery and other
wise increase production

Clinton. Dec. ia warm fight for
the Iowa section Of the proposed mill
tary highway is developing between the
River-to River road from Davenport to
Council Bluffs, and the present Lin
coin Highway towns. In fact on the
location of the military road, which
will be a hard-surfaced highway, will
depend almost entirely the future loca-
ton Of the Lincoln Highway across
the state of Iowa.
Military engineers in attendance at
the highway meeting in Chicago last
week, it is reported. have declared that
road-level bridge across the Miss.s-
sippi is absolutely essential TO Il mill
tary highway over which the heavy
ordnance will be hauled. While it has
been announced that in general the
present route of the Lincoln Highway
would be followed from Chicago to
Omaha, 1t Is fact that there is no
road-level bridge on the present Lin
coin way route and it is this fact that
is making towns located along the
highway uneasy.
Clinton May Build Bridge.
The matter has resulted in move
ment started at Clinton for the build
ing of a new road-level highway bridge
across the Mississippi river at this
point. NJ. w. Seaman. prominent Chi
cago and Clinton manufacturer and
banker, in outlining a community de-
velopment plan for Clinton. has made
the construction of such a bridge a
prominent feature.
At present there is high-bridge at
Clinton, and one two miles further up
the river at Lyons. Then there Is the
Northwestern railroad bridge.
Mr.. Seaman proposes to build a road
bridge Of heavy construction south
easterly across the river from Clinton.
crossing Beaver Island and locating the
Illinois end mile and half above the
town of Albany. This would shorten
the route between Sterling and Clinton
about four miles in actual road dis
lance ~ ss
Supporters of the River-to- River
route point to the fact that there is al
ready government bridge. with road
way, located between Davenport and
Rock Island, and this bridge is strong
enough to carry the heaviest ordnance
pieces. The presence of the Rock
Island arsenal is pointed to as another
strong argument in favor OF locating
the military route over the River-to-
River road.
