Endorses Great Lakes
To the Sea

The plan to doctor the st. Lawrence
river so that ocean ships can dock and
unload at Chicago, Duluth and other Lake
ports of the middle west is q present
protege of the American Farm Bureau
Farmers are enthusiastic, for it is reducing
the rail haul and then by cutting the
freight charges will give them more for
their products. Grain can be delivered
without expensive transfer to other car
riers, TO all ends OF the world. Trans
portation by water is FIVE times as cheap
as by rail 1t is figured that middle west
wheat can be laid down on the Liverpool
markets ten cents busEcl cheaper than
it can now.
IL IS proposed that the United States
and Canada cooperate in this great
undertaking, sharing in an initial eX-
pense of S252,72S,0 GOO for deepening the
St. Lawrence river and enlarging the
canals around its rapids. Engineers have
figured that the hydro-electric power that
will be subsequently developed can pay
for the whole project III fifty years.
Transportation is prohibitively costly
at the present time because the crowded
condition of New York and other At
lantic seaports necessitates much ware
housing and loading and unloading of
goods at those terminals.
The addition of new seaports would
relieve this congestion. By building a
canal across Illinois from Lake Michigan
at Chicago to the Mississippi river at St.
Louis, the United States would automat-
ically create seaports at Kansas City,
Memphis, New Orleans, Louisville, Gin
cinnati, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee,
Chicago, Duluth, St. Louis, Detroit,
Columbus and Buffalo. 1t is estimated
that the Saving to the farmers of the rich
middle west would run up into the bill
lions of dollars year.

Cooperation within the ranks is the
thing about the Farm Bureau that speaks
most for the organization. In no other
organization OF its size is the individual
member so important; in the Farm Bureau
there is no recognition OF interiors or
superiers II there is a final authority it
il the man on the farm. He elects the
officers, hires the experts, and directs the
policies. 1t is not dependent upon the
personally Of any one human. No
Napoleonic general is marshalling its
progress.
In its government it is true democracy.
Referenda are taken On all questions
where the administrators are not sure of
the farmers sentiments. Before the
American Farm Bureau Federation sub
mitted legislative program to Congress
a QUESTIONABLE was sent to the entire
membership OF million farmers and fur
Their activities were based on the answers

of all tax-free securities; the Excess Profits
Tax; a General Sales Tax; the Packer
Control Bill; farm-to-market roads and
the construction trans-continental high
ways; the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway; short-selling in agricultural
products and truth-in-fabric legislation.
At another time when the Joint Com
mission OF Agricultural Inquiry wanted
some real evidence from the farms, the
Farm Bureau held county hearings ia
every organized section and got real facts
and figures from farmers, bankers, sheriffs,
school teachers, preachers, dealers, etc.
There is no inner political enclosure
leaving the mere member out in the cold
in this organization. There is no holy Of
holes" The farmer who is in, is in andl
ready to greet the next one with a glad
hand. There is work enough for every
one. The greatest work of all, the work
for which the national organization
primarily exists, lies in the township il
the Farm Bureau community club. When
YOU sign your check for the membership
fec do so with the knowledge that no
where in the organization is their q sigma
ture more important than your own.

Mr.. Gunnels came to the American

He resigned from this position to becons

attention that he was promoted to be

During 1913 and 1919, he was director Of
the Agricultural Extension Service of the
University OF Nebraska, and went TO the
States Relations Service in Washington,
D. C., in 1919 Then the Farm Bureau

the membership BY two.
Taking care o> the fifty cents that each
Farm Bureau member pays to the National

. What It Means.
"What is the significance of this for
America? One thing; seems clear, al
though sectionalism still exists, it is no
longer the controlling political factor
1t is now competition and divergence of
interest among at least three economic
groups that form the Inducements driving
the straws on the political surface IN
pleasant as this fact may be, it can no
longer be ignored. In estimating the
economic and political resources Of the
upon our American fields and meadows
we have reared great industrial struc-
ture, a veritable Tower of Babel lifting
its builders high above an immediate
struggle with the natural environment
in the effort to maintain life. Yet these
builders, though raised above the pas
lures and the grain fields, cannot shake
off an elemental dependence upon them
The food quest is as vital today as it was
to the primitive savage who hunted the
beasts III the forest The recent war has
made this dependence very vivid The
speed with which Babel can be built now
depends upon whether the farmer in
creases his Yields of wheat and corn. He
controls the food quest His dawning real
ization of this fact may be called for want
of better name, the new asrarian.irn.

SERVE FLORIDA PRODUCTS
AT REASONABLE PRICES
{ Sanford IIerald.O

Stanford Herad)
For many years the Herald has advocated
cheaper prices for Florida products not only in
restaurants but in grocery stores and fruit
stands. Right here in Sanford the people pay
outandish prices for the vegetables and fruits
that rotting in the fields a mile or more from
the stores The growers right now cannot sell
any peppers in Sanford and yet when certain
lady wanted peppers yesterday none of the stores
had any We have long advocated a curb mar
ket-had one here once-we still advocate the
curb market and every other kind of market
that will enable the farmer to get something for
his products and enable the housewife to get
fresh vegetables and fruits cheap right here
where they are grown. We understand that the
Union News restaurant at the station in this city
served Sanford lettuce and celery free on their
tables last season. They deserve more than
passing notice for this enerprising spirit and
more of the restaurants and eating places could
do likewise and they would do it if they could
get these products at a reasonable figure direct
from the growers. The Jacksonville people are
having the same trouble right now with water
melons flooding the market and the restaurants
charging the same high prices as usual and the
Jacksonville Journal calls their hand in the fol
lowing notice in big type at the head OF the first
page of yesterdays edition:
THE Jacksonville market is flooded with
termelons. According to the state marketing
bureau, in the neighborhood of seventy-iye cars
are on the sidetracks here Wholesalers and re-
tailers have reduced their prices. Almost liter
ally the prices being determined by what
the consumers are willing to pay. However, the
restaurants of the city, or at least the majority
of Them have not reduced their prices While
melons are retailing at ten and twenty cents the
and twenty-five cents for slices. Why not little
cooperation on the part of the restaurants in
helping to solve this marketing problem? First,
restaurant prices should be reduced because the
price of watermelons has been reduced Next
and not unimportant if these watermelons are
not disposed OF shortly Florida producers will
suffer An advertised reduction in the price of
waermelons by the restaurants would see
greater consumption. Come on, Restaurant
Keepers fall in line! Ii it's for the good OF
