A knowledge of tlx* market is essential
if the farmer is to organize
and operate his business to best advantage.
Something like one-fouith
of his produce goes to foreign countries.
Hence to know his market con
ditions it is essential that he know
something of the foreign as well
as of the domestic market. A
study of foreign markets for our
farm products will bring home to
him that it the ioreign outlet were
blocked, there would be left in this
country, frequently a surplus that
would exert a disastrous effect on
prices to farmers. The export business
in Agricultural products is
very large. In 1919, it constituted
approximately 5f> per cent of all oxports.
Agricultural products export
ed were worth about $4,250,000,000,
while all other products exported
were worth $3,500,000,000.
The farmer ought to ho interested
in knowing how and why his prosperity
depends, in large measure,
upon foreign markets. The farmer
is in a position to do more toward
promoting foreign trade than may
appear at first glance. Practically
every farm commodity is now represented
by some large organization
and all of them are keenly interested
in export trade in farm products.
Yet the growers who compose
the organizations have given
too little thought to what a foreign
outlet means to them. The cotton
growers, about ,60 per cent of whose
product goes to foreign markets
knows a great deal about it. Si do
the growers of some t\ poo of tobacco
that go almost exclusively to
specific foreign markets. So do
some apple grower* and sonic c'tnis
fruit growers. The rank and file
of farmers, however, give the mailer
practically no thslight.

Should Know Foreign Markets. i
It iv lii(rlilv tlmt fill* '
farmers and their organizations
avail themselves of all possible;
sources of information on foreign j
marketing. The Department cf!
Agriculture is in a position to give
them assistance. The Bureau of
Markets, through its foreign market-i
ug service, is furnishing informa- i
tion on foreign supplies assisting in
establishing standard grades not on-1
ly to improve the quality of American
products but to facilitate trading,
and is making investigations of
shipping and storage problems to
aid in placing the products on foreign
markets in good condition.
A representative is stationed in
London, devoting his time to putting
American producers in touch with
British markets. It has been planned
to place six such representatives
at strategic points over the world.
Trade commissioners are sent to foreign
countries when the pportunity
to open up a new market appears]
promising. Two live-stock commissioners
were sent t<? South A rr. eric a
i last ye.ar and two others will leave
in a few days to spend the greater
part of the coming summer in the
same field. Several shipments of
purebred live stock to Brazil and
Uruguay have already resulted and
prospects are good for a broad field
ror future trade. Plans are now under
way for sending two grain men
to Europe to demonstrate the grades
on which trading in grain is now
done in this country. It is proposed
also, when the apple shipping season
begins, to put men on the ships
carrying them to foreign markets
to find out the causes of losses in
apples shipped overseas and to devise
means for reducing them.

To Pay for .Foreign Products.
Every farmer must have foreign
products?such, for instance, as
i coffee, tea, sugar, cloth, and manuj
factum! articles. To secure these
! foreign products, we must have some
thing to give in exchange for them.
It is a matter both of personal and
i of nat ional importance, therefore,

might have been developed move
speedily if our people generally had
known more about it.
The losses that dairy farmers arc
sustaining because of the surplus of
fluid milk is typical of what is likely
to happen when any foreign outlet
is closed. It is essential to the prosperity
of farmers that a fairly
st-Yidy stream of farm products is
kept flowing to foreign markets.
The outstanding articles will probably
continue to be cotton, tobacco
grain, and apples. It is therefore of
prime importance that producers of
these products be kept informed on
foreign market conditions.
IN LOVING MEMORY.
; Of my darling mother, Mrs. S. 0.
Richardson, who died at her home
in Conway. June 27. 1920. She was
i ill for several months before she
! died, but she seemed to bear it all
with patience. She never murmured
or complained. She leaves,
besides her husband, one brother,!
six children, and a host of other relatives
and friends to mourn their
loss, but we mourn not as those who
have no hope, for she truly was a
good wife and mother. Conway
community will miss her, but we
must bow in humble submission to
the One who doeth all things well.
His will be done. Her body was
laid to rest in the lakeside cemetery
with the masonic honors, to
await the ressurection morn.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God who hath bereft us.
He can all our sorrows heal.
We loved you, yes we loved you,
But Jesus loved you more;
And he has sweetly called you
To yonder shining shore.
The Golden Gates were open.
A gentle voice said, come;
And with farewells unspoken,
You calmly entered home.
Her pilgrimage here was ended,
And her crown of glory won.
Her life well spent in happy deeds.
Her work on earth was done.
i Oh mother, darling mother,
Though sad we now may be;
I Because you will no more bo with us
Nor your loving face we see.
i
Sloop on, darling mother
And tako thy rest,
God o-alled you home,
Ho though it best.
i You Are gone, but not forgott(tn,
; Never will your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
j 'Round the grave where you avo
laid.
Her lovim- daiir' tor,
?Mrs. Viola Cannon.
Messrs. T. P. I.ewis and Ed. L.

"I am not talking about Republicans
alone, but Democrats as well,
for they all look alike to me when
they are guilty of spending money
in the manner indicated."
Mr. McAd oo declared campaign
contributors would seek their rewards
in various ways, one of which
the reduction on imports. He point|
ed out that a fraction of a cent reduction
would run into big figures.
Mr. McAdoo said that "as an
American citizen seeking nothing"
there were some things about the
coming election he would like to refer
to. The appointment of the senate
