GREAItSI PROBLEM
WE ARE/LONG ON PRODUCTION,
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.

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

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. Decade. 1
Corn (Bu.) 3,934,174.000 3,403.655,000 J
Wheat (Bu.) 3,522,769,000 3,257,526,000 J
Oats (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 3,508,315,000 :
Cotton (Bales) 19,863,800 17,541,200 i
The world shows an average in- s
crease in cereal production of 13 per (
cent during the past decade, compared
; with the previous five years, while the '
world's population shows an increase
of only three per cent 1
( The gain in production tar exceeds
that of our increase in population, and '
it is safe to estimate that the farmer i
can easily increase production 25 per
. cent If a remunerative market can be
found for the products. 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.

- THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
t
| Genuine Merit Required to Win
) the People s Confidence
Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
once drop out of sight and are soon
1 forgotten? The reason is plain?the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medi)
cinal preparation that has real curative
value almost sells itself, as like
1 an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been benefited, to those who are in
? need of it.
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
