The production of crops is the far
mer's job. and he is doing it with al
most astounding efficiency. A little
over half century ago seventy-hve
per cent of our population was re-
CURED to do this work, now about
twenty-five per cent does it, due to
improved methods and more eco
nomical and systematic distribution
of his time and efforts.
The farmer has little time to devote
to the problem of distribution and
marketing of his farm products. He
has assumed this to be the city mans
job, but in great many instances the
city man has not systematically taken
hold of it. He has allowed profiteers
to come in and exact extravigant pro-
fit for his imaginary services. He has
allowed spectators to withhold farm
produce from the market until an I'M
natural demand has been established,
| and much of his inefficient manage
ment has been paid for out of the
farmers pocket That is why the far
mer is now forced in self defence to
shoulder big share'of the marketing
problem along with his legitimate Job
of food production.
Must Meet Competition
In some cases his new problem of
food distribution is relatively sim
pie one, that of getting perishable
crops to the nearest local centers. In
other cases it is the nation wide prob
lem of competing with other growers
OF his products scattered all over the
country and selling in competition
with imports from countries where
the growing costs are distinctly low
er.
Some interesting work with local
marketing problems has recently been
done in New Jersey. Improved farm
ing methods had resulted in bumper
crops, notably in Irish potatoes and
apples. The South Jersey potato
growers knew they had good market
in New York City, they needed two
hundred cars day to transport the
crop but were unable to secure any
thing like the cars necessary to move
their crop, but through the efforts of
the Farm Bureau, influence was
brought to bear upon the railroad
commission which caused them to get
behind the railroads and have them
to furnish the necessary cars to move
these potatoes and apples to market
in time to prevent their being dam
aged
Finance Through Organization
In the marketing of large crops
which must meet national demand
one of the greatest difficulties to be
met, is the financing of the growers
until the returns from sales come in
An interesting experience was that oil
the Alfalfa growers of Utah. They
owned some five million pounds Of
seed, but didn't have the money tc
reach the markets where they could
sell at profit. Individually they
went to the bankers and told theil
story. Hard luck tales which made
them seem about the poorest fnancia

A Thought for the Evening
A VERSE AND A VIGNETTE
By Dan G. Bickers
MANY, IF ANY?
By Dan G. Bickers

Now do you suppose there's man SO good
That he always does just what he should
And never has LETT one thing undone
He ought to have finished when once begun.
Who never has made some fool mistake?
Do you know such one for goodness sake
Not many,
If any,
H.
And do you suppose there is one so vile,
So stepped in his 'cussedness' all the while,
So reeking with wckedness, vice and sin
That never has in his heart slipped in
One impulse noble, unselish, fine,
A fash for moment of light divine?
Not many
If any?

with the A. f. F. with distinction.
He was wounded in an engagement AT
Flanders and is the proud possessor
of two medals for valor and bravery
under FIRE. Friedel ridicules the idea
that a battleship can compete with
an airplane In combat and is willing
to be one OF the overhead fighters
who cont ests with the sharpshooters
afioat. He contends that even IL the
ship were stationery, II would be
difficult for the ships rihemen to
shoot down an aviator In full hight.
FrideI had many hair raising ex-
periences while in the service. He
