By Peter Radford. This nation la now entering upon an era of marine development. The wreckage o f European commerce has drifted to our shores and the world war la making unprecedented de mands for the products of farm snd factory. In transportation facilities on land we lead the world but our port facilities ate inadequate, and our flax la seldom seen in foreign ports, it our government would only divert the energy we have displayed In conquer ing the railroads Co mastering the commerce o f the sea. a foreign bot tom would be unknown on the ocean a highways. This article will be confined to a discussion o f our ports for the pro ducts o f 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 o f approximately $50.000,000 annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service is rendered. The latter Item should be lifted off the backs o f the farm er o f this na tion 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 o f any fee or charge. A free port Is progress. It takes out the unnecessary link in the chain o f 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 o f a free port and none can be more easily and ef fectively secured. THE VITAL PROBLEM OF By Peter Radford. There Is no escaping the market problem and the highest development o f agriculture w ill not be attained until it is solved, for a market Is as necessary for the producer as land on which to grow bis crop. Governmental and educational Insti tutions have spent $180,000,000 In the United States during the past ten years for Improving soil production and Improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing side o f agriculture. The problem Is a monumental one and one which will never be solved until It gets within the grasp of a gtg-.ntlo organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom ot the age upon 1L 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 o f seed selection to the most systematic and profitable plans o f marketing, but does not be lieve In promoting one to the neglect o f the other. W e consider the work o f farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and com- jinerclal 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 o f our farm problems also. W e cannot hope to develop manu facturing by over-production o f the factory; w e cannot build up mercan tile enterprises by the merchants load ing their shelves with surplus goods and no more can w e develop agricul ture by glutting the market with a surplus o f products. D A R IU S The neigh of a horse made Darius K in g o f 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 disputes among politicians coujd be revived with profit today. I f our partisan factions and petty pol iticians could only settle their dis putes by the neigh o f a horse, the bark o f a dog or the bray of a donkey, it would be a great blessing and would give Our citizens a better opportunity to p'lrsue the vocations o f Industry free ltrom political strife.
