mi ws I, GREAItSI PROBLEM WE ARE/LONG ON PRODUCTION, SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION. h fj v\ By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union. ^ The economic distribution of farm y products is today the world's greatest problem and the war, while it has brought its hardships, has clearly em- a phasized the importance of distribu- " tion as a factor in American agricul- S ture and promises to give the farm- e ere the co-operation of the govern- t].ment and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. .. This result will, in a measure, compensate us for our war losses, for the business interests and government e * *? *!?? main accistinC al nave ueeii m mc u,u,u 0 __ most exclusively on the production P side of agriculture. While the departs t ment of agriculture has been dumping s tons of literature on the farmer telling ;him how to produce, the farmer has fi been dumping tons of products in the s nation's garbage can for want of a market The World Will Never Starve. b At no time since Adam and Eve t >ere driven from the Garden of Eden ;have the inhabitants of this world ^ .suffered from lack of production, but 1 (some people have gone hungry from h the day of creation to this good hour 2 for the lack of proper distribution, t Slight variations iD production have n [forced a change in diet and one local- t ity has felt the pinch of want, while 0 another surfeited, out tne wonu &o ? t a , whole has ever been a land of Dlenty. | ^ We now have less than one-tenth of ;the tillable land of the earth's surface s f 'under cultivation, and we not only have this surplus area to draw on but s .'it is safe to estimate that in case of r dire necessity one-half the earth's v population could at the present time t .knock their living out of the trees t of the forest, gather it from wild t vines and draw it from streams. No , one should become alarmod; the . world will never starve. The consumer has always feared * that the producer would not supply r him and his fright has found expres- ( sion on the statute books of our states I 1 .and nations and the farmer has been ( urged to produce recklessly and with- ( out reference to a market, and regard- ' less of the demands of the consumer. 1 - , Back to the Soil. I The city people have been urging i . .each other to move back to the farm, ? ' jbut very few of them have moved. ( ;We welcome our city cousins back to . the soil and this earth's surface con- . tains 16,092,160.000 idle acres of till- , I able land where they can make a j living by tickling the earth with a is 'forked stick, but we do not need them 1 so far as increasing production is con- 1 cerned; we now have all the producers ] we can use. The city man has very \ erroneous ideas of agricultural condi- , *. ' tions. The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production is all wrong. Our annual increase in pro, duction far exceeds that of our Increase in population. The World as a Farm. ' Taking the world as one big farm, 1 we find two Dimon acres 01 jouu m | cultivation. Of this amount there is approximately 750,000,000 acres on the < ! ' western and 1,260,000.000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, in cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not include grazing lands, forests, etc., ( where large quantities of meat are 5 ' ? produced. ' The world's annual crop approxi- 1 mates fifteen billion bushels of ce- ; reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre \ and sixty-five million tons of meat. ( The average annual world crop for .the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Half Previous Half 1 Crops? Decade.

In textile fibres the world shows an increase [ ( during the past half decade in production of 15 per cent against a population increase of three per cent. The people of this nation should address themselves to the subject of ' improved facilities for distribution. 1 Over-production and crop mortgage force the farmers into ruinous com- 1 petition with each other The remedy lie 5 in organization and in co-opera tion in marketing. 4 WHY "PLl'XKS" FOIl MOXKY. ml Some Other Odd Names (live to Money.

Our t j cial structure is built around her, a: ! social righteousness is in her charj ut j Her beautiful life lights the skies *i?; hope and her refinement is the chai y; I of twentieth century civilization. H le I graces and her power are the cun >r- lative products of generations ,v queenly conquest, and her crown k exalted womanhood is jeweled wi uj | the wisdom of saintly mothers. S has been a great factor in the glo 1 " of our country, and her noble achiei le ments should not be maired or b ur hallowed influence blighted by t u- coarser duties of citizenship. Ame to can chivalry should never permit b of to bear the burdens of defending a maintaining government, but shoi lg preserve her unsullied from the alii a influences of politics* and protect b o{ from the weighty responsibilities the sordid affairs of life that w crush her ideals and lower her stai n* ards. The motherhood of the fai n" j is our inspiration, she is the guardi re j of our domestic welfare and a gui he to a higher life, but directing the e- fairs of government is not within v ut man's sphere, and political goss ie_ would cause her to neglect the hon )r forget to mend our clothes and bu , * the biscuits. ay ut RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS is in We need social centers where c 311 young people can be entertaini amused and instructed under the rection of cultured, clean and co ? petent leaaersmp, wnere aesine Burroundings stir the love for t a_ beautiful, where art charges the at mosphere with inspiration and pow and innocent amusements instn at and brighten their lives.

The reason is plain?the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine.

A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, a preparation I have sold for Rmany years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case , it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." 1, According to sworn statements and ' verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact that it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, ng liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the 30 uric acid which causes rheumatism, ty You may receive a sample bottle of .
