inquiry heto Essential.
"In addition to these special provi-
sions in the direction of improved re-
turns, the board should be organized
to investigate every field of economic
betterment for the farmer. so as to fur
nish guidance as to need in production;
to devise methods for elimination Of
improbable marginal lands and their
adaptation to other uses; to develop
industrial by-pro6ucts and to survey a
score Of other fields of helpfulness.
Certain safeguards must naturally
surround these activities and the in
strumentalities that are created. Ger
tain vital principles must be adhered to
in order that we may not undermine
the freedom of our farmers and of our
people as whole by bureaucratic and
governmental domination and interior
ence. We must not undermine initia-
tive. There should be no fee or tax
imposed upon the farmer No govern
mental agency should engage IN the
buying and selling and price fixing OF
products, for such courses can lead only
to bureaucracy and domination Gov
eminent funds should not be loaned or
facilities duplicated where other services
of credit and facilities are available at
reasonable rates. No activities should
be set in motion that will result In
increasing the surplus production, as
such will defeat any plans Of relief.
"The most progressive movement In
all agriculture has been the upbuilding
of the farmers own marketing organi-
cations, which now embrace nearly two
million farmers in membership and an
nually distribute nearly $4,000, 600, 000
worth Of farm products. These organi-
cations have acquired experience in vir-
tually every branch Of their industry
and furnish q substantial basis upon
which to build further organizations
Not all these marketing organizations
are of the same type, but the test OF
them Is whether or not they are farmer
owned or farmer controlled. In order
to strengthen and not to undermine
them all proposals for governmental as
sistance should originate with such or
CARNATIONS and be the result of their
application. Moreover. by such bases oil
organization the Government will be-
removed from engaging In the business
OF agriculture.
THE difficulties OF agriculture cannot
be cured in day; they cannot all be
cured by legislation; they cannot BIZ
cured by the Federal Government alone
But farmers and their organization;
can be assisted to overcome these In
equalities. Every effort of this char.
acter is an experiment, and we shall
find from our experience the way tx
further advance. We must make Z

He did not shout on. or make ar;
noise; he simply lessened the distance
between him and them b, increasing
his pace. The two STOPPING forms,
casting long, oblique shadows across
the white, hard road, were almost level
with their intended victims. Now the
shadow of one Of them crept a little
in advance of the ladies, and Adrienne
Cartuccio, seeing it, stepped suddenly
back with a cry Of alarm.
Giovanni Giovantil There are

The cry became shrek, but it was
instantly stiAed by coarse hand
thrust upon her mouth. At the same
moment her conpanion felt herself
treated in a similar inanner. They
could only gaze into tbs dark ruffianly
faces of their captors In mute terror.
The whole thing had been too sudden
for them to make any resistance, and
Giovanni, their trusted escort, seemed
suddenly to have disappeared. AS a
matter of fact, he was watching the
proceedings from behind convenient
bowlder.
The man who was holding Adrienne
pointed to the carriage, the door OF
which the driver had thrown open.

away from her mouth.

He wound his arms around lier, and,
without a word, commenced dragging
her across the road. Sec.
"You may shout as much as you
like" he muttered. There will only
be echoes to answer you"
A sudden warning cry rang out
from his companion, and. with start,
he released his victim. The English
man had stepped into the middle ofsths
group, and before he could spring
back, swirling left-hander sent him
down into the dust with a dull, heavy
thud.
"You blackguardT" he Numbered
out. Then turning quickly round he
faced the other man, who had sprung
across the road with bent body, and
with his right hand in his breast.
There was gleam of cold steel, but
before he could use the knife which
he had drawn, his arm was grasped
and held as though by vice, and
slowly bent backward. He dropped
the weapon, with shrek Of pain,
upon the road, and fell on. his knees
before his captor.
The Englishman's grasp relaxed,
and taking advantage of it, the man
suddenly jumped up, leaped c"c~ Sac
wall, and disappeared in the planta-
ton. Pursuit would have been impos-
sible, but none of them thought Of it.
