Should Be Partnership Between Industries to Help Farmer

By PETER RADFORD.

National Lee-

turcr of Farmers' Union of America

Farming is the biggest BUSINESS IN TH E WORLD, and constructive work that will permanently benefit agriculture must be arranged on a BIG, BROAD, COMPREHENSIVE BASIS. Co-operating with the farmer as an individual is not sufficient and will not reach the heart of the problem. The heavy and more important work can only be done through organization. THERE MUST BE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN INDUSTRIES AND EACH LINE OF ORGANIZED INDUSTRY WORK WITHIN ITS OWN ORBIT. THE BANKERS CAN RENDER A SERVICE IN WORKING OUT A SYSTEM OF CREDITS BETTER ADAPTED TO THE BUSINESS OF FARMING. THE TRANSPORTATION LINES CAN HELP US BY LOCATING MARKETS AND REACHING THEM IN BEST CONDITION AT THE LOWEST EXPENSE.
