Show 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 institutions insti-tutions have spent $180,000,000 in the United States during the past ten years for improving soil productloq and improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and less money has been given to the marketing sida of agriculture. The problem is a monumental one and one which will never ' be solved until it gets within the graBp of a gigantic organization where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom ot the age upon it. 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 of seed selection to the most systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not believe be-lieve in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and we ask that governmental and commercial com-mercial agencies seeking to help Ud, continue to give us their assistance and advice, but we believe that their influence thuu!J ijj l.. .. ...ied to tl:.; marketing side of our farm problems also. We cannot hope to develop manufacturing manu-facturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercantile mercan-tile enterprises by the merchants loading load-ing their shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agriculture agricul-ture by glutting the market with a surplus of products.
