A dmu l lini.li HMi ivi ttiu (he Liu. , loulk tln l.iiiaiJ way, '( 'rtitat (Written for Malheur Enterprise by Peter Had ford.) The economic dlBtiibutlon of farm products In today the world'e greatest problem and the war. while It has brought Us hardships, has clearly em- pnasuea t lie importance of distribu tion as a factor In American agricul ture and promises to give the farm ers the cooperation of the govern ment and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will, In a measure, com pensate us for o r war losses, for the business Interests and government have been In tho main assisting al most exclusively on the production Hide of agriculture While the depart merit of agriculture has been dumping ons of literature on the farmer telling him how to produce, the farmer lias been dumping tons of products In the nrtions garbage can for want of a market. The World Will Never Starve. 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, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation to this good hour for the l,ck of nroner distribution Slight variations In production have forced a change In diet and one local- Ity has felt the pinch of want, while another surfeited, but the world as a whole has ever been a land of plenty v e now have less than one tenth of the tillable land of the earth's surface under cultivation, and we not onl have this surplus a'ea to draw on but ii is safe to estimate that In case of dire necesblty one-half the earths population could at the present time knock thrlr living out of the trees of the forest, gather It from lld Ines and draw It from streams No oue should Ucoie alarmed; tbe orij win nevwr starve. The consumer has always feared that the producer would not supply hi in and his flight has found eipres ' nu the statute books of our elates end itatlont and the farmer lias ba ur4 produre rHny tui liU Back to the Soil. The city people have been urging each otner to move back to the farm, but 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 able land where they , can make a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far as Increasing production la con cerued; we now nave all the producers we can use. The city man has very erroneous Ideas of agricultural condi tions. The commonly accented theorv that we are short on production Is all wrong Our annual increase In pro duction far exceeds that of our In crease In population. The World as a Farm. Taking the world as one big farm, we find two billion acres of land In cultivation. Of this amount them la approximately 750,000,000 acres on the western and 1,160,000,000 acres on the astern hemisphere, low-cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not In clude grazing lands, forests, etc.. where large quantltlea of meat are produced The world's annual trop approxi mates fifteen billion bushels of ce reals, thirteen billion rounds of flhre and sixty five million tons of meat The average annual world cron for the past five years, compared with the previous five years. Is aa follows: Past Half Previous Half Crops Decade. Decade. Corn Bu.) 3.934.174.000 3,403,655,000 Wheat (Bu.) 3.522.769,000 Oats (Hu) 4.120,017.000 Cotton (Hales) 19.863.800 The world shows an average In crease In cereal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five yeera, while the world's population shows an Increase of only three per cent. The gatn In production far exceeds that of our Increase In population, and It Is safe to estimate that the farmer can easily Increase production 25 per rent If a remunerative market can be found for the products. In textile fibres the world shows an Increase during the past half decade In produo tlon of 15 per cent against a popula tion Increase of three per cent. The people of this nation should Address themselves to the subject of Improved facilities for distribution. ! fcti . ri4 rta ?wa R la n ka Sa m ft CIVIC CLUB DANCE. Pa y Ca PQ M P-4 P.a P..
