HILL The Successful Fanner 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 are 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.
