The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops
-and cuts down costs by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers' crops en
. courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world's markets.
The railroads like the farms increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads arc able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the-price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
