distributing and marketing.
Therefore, shall a law be enacted establishing Government
al Marketing Control" or one establishing Farmer Marketing
All the bills introduced in both sessions of the 68th Congress
except the Curtls-Aswel bill provided for government marketing
control.
The minds OF some congressman seem so impregnated with
the notion that farmers are incapable of organizing and manag-
ing the marketing of their products, that they are afraid to trust
them with it.
To get the Curtis-AsweI bill before the house of representa-
tives, in its closing hours, it was necessary for Congressman
Aswel to offer that really helpful bill as a substitute to the
pacifying Dickinson farm bill.
This was occasioned by the fact that the Curtis Aswel bill
had been referred to a subcommittee of the senate agricultural
committee, of which Senator Kendrck, of Wyoming, was chair
man. Although reporting it favorably, this committee left out
the names of the original incorporators and, instead, provided
for their appointment by the President under recommendations
Thus, Mr.. Hendricks committee took the liberty of changing a
bill which provided for control by the farmers to a bill which
put the farmers under political government control.
We wonder if there are not to be found among the acquaint.
,ances of Senator Kendrick, in Wyoming, seven farmers able and
honest enough to warrant the senator trusting them as state
directors, to handle Jointly with other state directors, the mar

AN ANNIVERSARY MONTH

April has long been known as the most Hateful one in Amer
history, IN that five of our six major wars commenced then
the same month brought the close of the Civil war and the
assassination of President Lincoln. ~
April, 1925, is a little more significant than the usual April.
however. because 1T happens to be the 15Oth anniversary of the
Battle OF Lexington and Concord, the historic struggle which
opened the American fight for independence.
In Massachusetts the event is being celebrated. and most
Oh m American schools are paying special attention to the
patriotic themes of Paul Revere's ride and the fight along the
road to Concord.
Every American schoolboy, of course, is familiar with the
story OF April 10, IT'S, knows how Paul Revere rode along the
historic highway and warned the patriots that the British were
coming at daybreak under General Gage to destroy the supplies
which were concealed near Concord bridge.
1t was at Lexington, ON the public square, in the early
morning, that the first blood of the Revolution was shed, and
there the redcoats scattered the handful of minute men. The
story of Concord was different, however. There the British met
the first resistance of the war and were soon in retreat, a retreat
which had become a rout before the soldiers got back to Boston
So it was April 10, TITS, which really marked the beginning Of
the history of the United States as a nation.
nus April OF 1925, in addition to being the sesqui-centen-
ma OF Concord and Lexington is the sixtieth anniversary of the
endlng OF the war by the surrender of General Lee at Appa-
matox, and the siXtieth anniversary of the assassination of Pres
1dent Lincoln in Ford's theatre at Washington.
1t was on April 8 that Lee surrendered to Grant at Appa-
matox, and this date lacked three days of being four years from
the date when the Civil war began at Fort Sumter.
PRESIDENT Lincoln was assassinated on the fourteenth dv
OF the same month and grief succeeded the rejoicing that had
come with the end of the war.
SINCE that date April has brought US two more wars, the
Spanlsh-Amerlcan struggle, which commenced April 10, 1898.
and our war with Germany, which began April 2, 1917.

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Some pesslm1stic newspapers are in the habit of procaiming
That the door of opportunity in this land of the free and the
nome OF the brave has been forever closed to the Door and I'M
fortunate.
Some OF the yellow journals shout continuously that the
poor nave no opportunities in America and make appeal to class
prejudice to convince the poor that the rich have stolen their
bIrthr1ght and doomed them to industrial servitude.
The best answer to this is given by Roland Hayes, the sem
satlonal negro soloist, a laundry boy whose mother was a slave
and who has reached the heights of a great art and become one
II the most popular singers in the world.
inequalities of life are inherent in human nature and will
exist in spite of the most highly paternaistic government. The
soclahstlc idea that all that is necessary is to pass more laws
and take wealth from those who have and give those who have
not will never create the utopia of human equality.
All over our country are men and women who, like the
negro laundry boy, are overcoming handcaps of poverty, ignor-
ance, racial inequality, social ostracism by their native ability,
capacity for work, endurance and character.
Individual effort helped Roland Hayes to scale the heights of
success, and the door of opportunity still opens freely to those
who knock. Preaching discomfort to bring about class conflict
and social revolution will probably continue to be the favorite
and profitable occupation for degagogues.

Concord Hymn

(Note: This hymn was composed
by Ralph Waldo Emerson to be
sung at the dedication at the Con-
cord battle April 10.
1886. The 150th anniversary of
the Battle of Concord is being cell
ebrated this month. The govern
ment has issued memorial stamps
for the %occasion.)
BY the rude bridge thai arched the
flood,
Their flag to April's breeze I'M
furled,
Here. once the embattled farmers
stood,
And fired the shot heard round
the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And time the ruined bridge has
swept
Down the dark stream which sea-
ward creeps.
On this green bank by this soft
stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their dead re-
deem,
When, like our sires, our sons
are gone.
Spirit, that made these heroes dare
To die and leave their children
free,
Bid time and nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and
Thee.

IS THE IDEA GOOD FOR AMERICA

Russia faces another terrible famine. Failing to derive suf-
hclent revenues from its assassinated farms and industries, the
Soviet government last fall made the great bluff of selling the
national grain supply abroad, to get money to pay its own
dangerous army and politicians. Now, the people are starving,
there is neither money or credit to buy back grain from other
nations; and another payday approaches. What Russia has
suffered in the past may be mere Inconvenience compared to
the terrors yet in store when this terrible political army, facing
an empty treasury, starts in to collect its pay from a helpless
people.
Under the Soviet definition it seems that any man who owns
a home, a farm, a horse, a spade, is a capitalist to be enslaved
or dispoied. That seems to work fairly we'll for the armed
politicians, so long as there is enough property to pay their
wage. But the farmers who grow the grain and meat and wool
and vegetables seem to get astonishingly little above a starva-
ton diet out of the Soviet plan.

GETTING DOWN TO EARTH

The secretary of agriculture recently warned the settlers
of a hard pressed western reclamation unit that they were
grasping after the wil[o-the-wisp of too much land that would
break them, instead of carefully cultivatng smaller acreage that
should make them rich.
When the great Twin Falls irrigation tract was opened, the
average holding was above 100 acres. Many of the first holders
worked themselves into poor-house or grave, trying to pay up
on so much land. But every year, the average holding has de
creased, until it is now under 20 acres-and they are prosperous
instead of broke. The Okanogan project in Washington, where
the holdings have receded in size to only IL acres, is producing
an average of $500 an acre a year, according to the federal
figures.
Smaller farms, better crops and business judgment is the
sure foundation of farm prosperity. 1t is not a matter OF legls-
laton or federal or state aid.
