PRIATION8
By Peter Radford
This nation la now entering upon
an era of marine development The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war la making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory In transportaUon facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are Inadequate and our flag
is seldom idea In foreign ports It
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer-
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea a foreign bot-
tom would be unknown on the ocean’s
highways-- a
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water We
have in this nation SI ports of which
41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are oa
the Paclflo Coast The Sixty-eecond
Congress appropriated over $51000-
000 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50000000
annually In wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should he lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ha-
tlon and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie np
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge
A free 'port is progress It takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its -benefits as that of a tree port
and none can be more easily and ef-
fectively secured - u
THE VITAL PROBLEM OF
AGRICULTURE
By Peter Radford
There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $180000000 In the
United States during the past ten
years for Improving soli production
and improving seeds and plants but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture
The problem is a monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until It gets within the grasp of a
gigantlo organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it It Is a problem which the
farmers merchants bankers editors
and statesmen must unite in solving
The Farmers’ Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com-
mercial agencies seeking to help us
continue to give us their assistance
and advice but we believe that their
Influence should be extended to tha
marketing side of our farm problems
also
We cannot hope to develop manu-
facturing by’ over-production of the
factory we cannot build up mercan-
tile enterprises by the merchants load-
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul-
ture by glutting the market with a
surplus of products
DARIUS
The neigh of a horse made Darius
King of Persia the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method of
settling dlsputee among politicians
could be revived with profit today
If our partisan factions and petty pol-
iticians could only settle their dis-
putes by the neigh of a horse the
bark of a dog or the bray of a donkey
it would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to 1 pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife
Vet those who pick political pluma
by raising rows and who flash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into a political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
till the hammer and stop the plow
and that their quarrels must be settled
(n the back alleys of civilization

that are happening today The Government of the United
States is NOW gravely concerned in certain aspects of the
war in Europe and has and thrust on it several serious inter-
national problems which are NOW in process of solution
The American farmer is NOW interested in this titanic strug-
gle for his interests are being affected by it today and will
be tomorrow and he wants to keep in close touch with it
NOW
EVERYBODY is interested in the cotton crop from the
time of its planting to the days of its harvesting and market-
ing They want to know “the NOW” in all that pertains to
