By Peter Radford. This nation is now entering upon an efa of marine development. The wreckage of European commerce hat drifted to our shores and the world war is making unprecedented demands for the products of farm and factory. In transportation facllitlet on land we lead the world but our port facilities are inadequate, and our flag it seldom Been in foreign ports. If our government would only divert the energy we have displayed in conquering the railroads to mastering the commerce of the sea, a foreign bottom would be unknown on the ocean's highways. This article will be confined to a discussion of our ports for the products of the farm must pass over our wharfs before reaching the water. We have in this nation 51 ports, of which 41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second Congress appropriated over $51,000,000 for improving our Rivers and Harbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately $50,000,000 ' 1 M annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service is rendered. The latter item should be lifted off the backs of the farmer of this nation and this can be done by Congress directing its appropriations to ports that are free where vessels can tie up to a wharf and discharge her cargo free of any fee or charge. ^ t i e . I. Tt 4 A net! yuri. is piugicoa. it iohcd 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 free port v and none can be more easily and effectively secured. 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 $180,000,000 in the United States during the past ten I ^ years for improving soil production and improving seeds and plants, tut 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 gigantic 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. f 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 believe in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and commercial agencies seeking to help us, continue to give us their assistance and advice, but we believe that their ? influence should be extended to the ^ marketing side of our farm problems also. We cannot hope to develop manufacturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercantile enterprises by the merchants loading their shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agriculture by glutting the market with a 3urplus of products. * DARIUS The neigh of a horse made Darius King of Persia, the six contending powers foi the throne agreeing among themselves that the one whose horse jhould neigh first should possess the tfngdom. This ancient method of I settling disputes among politicians :ould be revived with profit today. [f our partisan factions and petty polticiaus could only settle their disputes by the neigh of a horse, the sark of a dog or the bray of a donkey, t would be a great blessing and would rive our citizens a better opportunity .0 pursue thfc vocations of industry tee from political strife.
