"Ask the DeoDle of Oregon who
have old books or newspapers that
would be of value for a newspaper
museum to remember tht department

is a past president of the National
Editorial Association.
"If such persons wish to keep their
old publications during their lifetime
let them remember the department
in their wills. There are hundreds
and newspaper and book relics the
proper place of which is in the de
partment of journalism library,
which I am desirous of seeing be
come a creditable one.
"I should suggest that individuals
having copies available for a news
paper museum but wishing to retain
them for the present write on them,
'After my death, this copy is to go to
the department of journalism, Uni
versity of Oregon, Eugene, Or.' "
The department of Journalism has
established such a museum and will
be glad to receive relics of the kind
mentioned by Mr. Tozier. They will
be labeled will the donor's name.

The World Will Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and Eve
were driven from the Garden of Eden
hnvA the Inhabitants of this world
suffered from lack of production, but
gome people have gone hun-ry trom
tbe day of creation to this good hour
for the lack of proper distribution.
Slight variations In production have
forced a change in diet and one locai
Itv Iihb felt the Dlnch of want, while
another surfeited, but the world as a
whole has ever been a land or plenty.
We now have less than one-tenth of
the tillable land of the earth's surface
under cultivation, and we not oniy
have this surplus a'ea to draw on but
it la unfa to estimate that In case of
rtire 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 and draw it from streams. No
onn should become alarmed; the
vL-firM will never starve.
Tha nntiRiimpr has always feared
that the producer would not supply
him and his fright has found exprea
slon on the statute books of our state..
and nations and the farmer has oeeu
tn nrnrtnoe recklessly and wltn
out reference to a market, and regard
less of the demands of the consumer

each other to move back to the farm,
but very few of them have moved.

that we are short on production Is all
wrong. Our annual increase in pro-

The World as a Farm.
Taidne the world as one big farm
we find two billion acres of land in
cultivation. Of this amount there 18
approximately 750,000,000 acres on the
western and 1,260,000,000 acres on the
pastern hemisphere, in cultivation.
This estimate, of course, does not In

where large quantities of meat are

The world's annual crop approxl
mntps fifteen billion bushels of ce
reals, thirteen billion pounds of fibre
mid sixtv-flve million tons or meat
The average annual world crop for
the past five years, compared with the
previous live years, is as follows:
