Tait was found In the woods o f the
Duwamlsb river, near Seattle. He im
agined that he was seeking lost trooi>

his brain has now restored bis memory,
but has deprived him o f the power o f

He has no recollection o f bow he

BUILDERS OF

PREFERENCE IN A PPR O
PR IATIO N S.
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.
