DISTRIBUTING LAND PRODUCTS.
David Lubln, who was the dele
gate from the United States to the
International Institute ot Agriculture
at Rome, came home, after a study of
conditions' in Europe as they affect
the Interests of the farmer, filled with
the Idea that there must be greater
co-operation among the producers of
the nation. He says that he can fore
see financial ruin for the producers
unless the national products distri
bution is organized under government
charter, with co-operative ' state,
county and township units modeled
. after the German Landwirtschaitsrat.
Mr. Lubin has written the following
bearing; upon the 'subject for "the
Uniled Tress:? J t .
".Cold, government figures 'show
that this nation of farm owners is
rapidly becoming a nation of farm
tenants. There are now tenants on
37 per cent of our farm land. That
is because each farmer tries to bor
row for himself and market for him
self, instead of doing it through an
organization of the kind , outlined
, such as is in operation in the coun
tries of continental Europe.
"The ' marketing .' organization
be semi-officUHy governmental
-1 mean that all the up Its should be
organized under government charter.
This gives It standing and prestige,
withnnt thn rianeer of Us hecnmine a
sinister political organization or split
into dozens of heterogeneous ineffec
tlve organizations.
, "There would be the national com
mission of 29; 15 able representative
. farmers and 14 other men from vari
ous walks of life; a carrier, a finan
$ cier, an ex-postmaster-general, etc.
! It would meet, a few days twice or
three times a year to draft necessary
measures for the operation of the
working bureau, composed of the sec
retary general and bis staff. This
bureau would work the year around.
'In each state there would be a
state commission, with its working
bureau similarly organized and work
ing the year around. Next there
would he, a county commission, with
a working (bureau for each county
in the country; and finally a town
ship commission for every township,
with its working bureau.
."These collective organizations
would constitute the national market
ing organization. They would be the
farmer's chamber of commerce, board
of trade, mercantile agency and clear
ance bouse, which now he does not
have.
" "If a Xa'rmer at Rulo, Nebraska,
had an idea for a new tomato basket,
he'd give it to the township bureau,
and it would, it practical, go up
through the organization and be
, adopted nationally.
"The township units would keep
the county, state and national bodies
In hourly touch with exact conditions
, everywhere. The fruit I saw rotting
on the ground in New England, 'be
cause there was no market for it,'
would not have been there if we'd
had this marketing' organization in
operation. . ,
"In other words, every farmer in
the United States, instead of looking
at all his problems through no eyes
but bis own, would be looking at
them, efficiently, and , intelligently,
through the eyes of lour or five mil
lion of his fellow farmers. " ".
