(Written for Malheur Enterprise by

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.
