At no time since Adam and Eve
were driven from the Garden of Eden
have the inhabitants of this world
suffered from lack of production, hut
some pepple have gone hungry from
the day of creation to this good hoax
for the kick of proper distribution.
Slight variations In production have
forced ,a change in diet and one local
ity has felt tha pinch of want while
another surfeited, hut the wdrld as a
whole has ever been a land of plenty.
We now have leaf than one-tenth of
l|ie tillable land of tbe earth’s surface,
uriaer cultivation, and we not only
haVe this surplus area to draw on but
it la safe to eatlmate that In case of
dire necessity one-half the earth’s
population could at the present time
knock their living out of the trees
of the forest, gather it from wild
vines aiid draw It from streams. No
one should become alarmed; the
world will never starve.
The consumer haa alwava feared
that the producer would not supply
him and his fright has fourd expres
sion on the statute books of onr ststes
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly md .with
out reference to a markeL and regard-
lass of the demands of the Consumer,
o- Back to the fio»V m
The dty people have been urging
each other to move back to the farm,
but very few ot them have moved.
We welcome our city cousin* hack to
the soil and this-earth’s surface com]
tains If,0M,160,000 idle acres df till
able land where they can malfe a
living by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do noli need them
eo far aa Increasing production is con
cerned ; we now have all the producers
we can use. The city man hap very
erroneous Ideas of agricultural conti ]
tions. The corrrpor.ly accept' d theory
that we are short oo production is all ■
wrong. Our annunhrincrease in pro |
duct Ion far eiceeift that ot our in
crease In population.
The World as t Farm.
Taking the world as one big farm,
we find two Mllion. acres pf land In
cultivation Of this amount thsre Is
approximately 750,000.000 acre* m the
western and 1,260,000.000 acre* on the
eastern hemisphere,/ in cultivation.
This estimate, of course, does not In
clude grazing lands, forests, etc.,
where large q’jant’.tlea of , meat are
produced. /+
The world’s annual crop approxi
mates fifteen billion busheis ot ce
reals. thirteen billion pound* of fibre
and slxty-flve million tons of meat.
