{MARKETING WORLD'S GREATEST PROBLEM »njWE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION, SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION. 25 i ■ | ! By Petar Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union. 1 The economic distribution of farm Jn products Is today the world'* greatest - problem and the war, while It has 45 brought its hardships, has clearly emphasized -he importance of dlstribu- | tlon as a factor In American agrlculw ture and promises to give the farmera the co-operation of the government and the business men the so In tlon of their marketing problem. ^ This result will. In a measure, 00m0 pensate us for our war losses, for the - business Interests and government 5 have been In the main assisting almost exclusively on the production side of agriculture. While the department of agriculture has been dumping tons of literature on the farmer tailing -T him how to produce, the farmer has h been dumping tons of products in the t nation's garbage can for want of a 0 market. >- The World Will Never 8tarve. e. At no time since ' Adam and Eve n were driven from the Garden of Eden -. have the Inhabitants of this world suffered from lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation bo this good hour 1 for the lack of proper distribution. I Slight variations In production have - forced a change In diet and one localf !ty has felt the pinch of want, while s another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been a land of plenty. . We now hare less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not only " have this surplus area to draw on but ! It Is safe to estimate that In case of dire necessity one-half the earth's population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees II of the forest, gather It from wild •• vines and draw It from streams. No J one should become alarmed; the world will never starve. Th» consumer has always feared : that the producer would not supply him and his fright has found expres- ■ - sion on the statute books of our states . and nations and the farmer has been ; , urged «o produce recklessly and with- ; out reference to a market, add regardless of the demands of the consumer. ! Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging 1 each other to move back to the farm, 1 but very few of them have moved. ] We welcome our city cousins back to 1 the soli and this earth's surface con- j tains lfi.092.1 60,000 Idle acres of till- ! able land where they can make a living by tickling the earth with a ' 1 forked stick, but we do not need them ' | so far as Increasing production Is con- ' cerned: we now have all jthe producers i we can use The city man has very ! erroneous Ideas of agricultural condt- | (Ions. The commonly accepted theory ! that we are short on production Is all ' I wrong. Our annual Increase In pro- ' j ductlon far exceeds that of our In- ; crease In population. The World as a Farm. ' Taking the world as one big farm, 1 we find two billion acres of land In 1 cultivation. Of this amount there Is approximately 750,000,000 acres on the , western and 1.260,000.000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, lp cultivation. This estima'e, of course, does not ln1 elude grazing lands, forests, etc.. ' where large quantities of meat are 1 produced The world's ann'isl cro-i annroxl- 1 mates Eftten billion bushels 01 ce reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre I : and sixty-five million tons of meat. The average annual world crop for j the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows; Past Half Previous Half Crops — Decade. Decade. • Corn (Bu.) 8,984,174.000 3.403,655.000 iVheat(Bu.) 3,622,769.000 3,257,526,000 Oats (Bu.) 4,120,017,000 3,508.315.000 Cotton (Bales) 19,863,800 17541.200 Tne world shows an average Increase 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 onjy three per cent. The gain In production tar exceeds , chat of our increase in population, and | it is safe to estimate that the farmer ran 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 producI tlon of 15 per cent against a populat tlon Increase of three per cent. 5 The people of this nation should address themselves to the subject of ) improved facilities for distribution. Over-production and crop mortgage force the farmera into ruinous comr petition with each other. The remedy t lies In organization and In coopera1 tlon In marketing. 1 ° , STOVES, HEATERS AND RANGES Call and see our line of Stove Boards. 1 Coal Hods, Oil Cloths, Stove Blacking 1 and enamels.
