AGRICULTURE MUST BE
MADE AND KEPT MOST
EFFICIENT IN WORLD
In a recent address before the As
sociation of the Land Grant Colleges
President Coolidge gave expression
to some significant facts relative to
the agriculture of this country.
Maintenance of the “superior level
of human comfort and well being
will require that our agriculture be
made and kept the most efficient in
the world,” said the President.
He emphasized the point that “the
fortunes of all of us will in the end
go up or down” with the farmer’s
and warned against permitting “our
farming population to fall to the
level of a mere agricultural peasan
try.”
“The real problem of our long fu
ture,” Mr. Coolidge said, “is the
problem of maintaining a prosperous
self-reliant confident agriculture in a
country preponderantly commercial
and industrial. It has been attested
by all experience that agriculture
tends to discouragement and decad
ence whenever the predominant in
terests of a country turn to manu
facture and trade. We must pre
vent that in America.
“It is true there are some coun
tries in which the balance of these
elements has been so well maintained
that agriculture has continued to
flourish along side prosperous indus
tries and successful commerce. But
these are found where the population
is approximately static and the com
munity self-contained.
“It is not our destiny to be a com
munity of that kind; we must realize
that our relationships with the out
side world, already enormously im
portant, will increase in number,
complexity and importance in their
influence on our social structure.”
The President pointed out that the
present-day farmer “is not only a
producer, he is likewise a merchant,”
and then added:
“It does him no good to get quanti
ty production, in fact it may do him
harm, unless he can likewise have a
scientific marketing. I feel that too
little thought has been given to this
most important phase of agriculture.
“I want to see courses in co-opera
tive marketing and farm economics
along side of soil chemistry and ani
mal husbandry. The agricultural
problem of today is not on the side
of production, but on the side of dis
tribution.* I want to see a good
farmer on a good farm raise a good
crop and secure a good price."
Mr. Coolidge laid emphasis on the
assertion that “we are not nearly a
generation ahead of the time when
our country will witness a reversal
in its relation to world agriculture.”
Within “a very few years,” he said,
“the United States will be among
the nations producing a deficit rather
than a surplus of agricultural sup
plies.” The artificial stimulation of
the world war, he asserted, came
when the country was “fairly on the
verge of that condition.”
“Even today,’ 'the President con
tinued,” if in making up our balance
sheet we include our requirements of
coffee, tea, sugar and wool, we al
ready have a considerable agricultur
al deficit. It may not be generally
known but even now we consume
more calories of food than we pro
duce. The main reason is that we do
not raise near enough sugar.
“Our only agricultural exports of
consequence are cotton, meat pro
ducts and wheat; and as to the two
latter it must be plain that the
scales will shortly turn against us.
We shall be not only an agricultural
importing nation, but in the lives of
many who are now among us we are
likely to be one of the greatest of
the agricultural buying nations.”

tions:
The electric light and water com

ter-Collier Cos., of this city, recom
mends that we give them a flat rate of
7c per kwh for electric lights, and
$2.50 per block of four houses, per
month, on water. The rate on water
to become effective March Ist, 1925,
thus giving this company time to get
in their sewerage connections, and
the rate on electric lights to become
effective at once. The above rates
to be net, no discount, with the usual
charge for rent of meters, the Car
ter-Collier Cos. to be billed monthly.
