MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PROBLEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION,
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.
BY Peter Radford
cturer National Farmers Union.


The economic distribution of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem and the war, while it has
brought it's ha%rdships, has clearly EN-.
phasized the Importance of distribu'
ton as a factor Ia 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 our war losses, for the
business interests and government
have been in the main assisting al.
most exclusively on the production
side of agriculture. While the depart
ment of agriculture has been dumping
tons of literature on the farmer telling
him how to produce, the farmer has
been dumping tons of products in the
nations garbage can for want Of 9
market.
The World Will Never starve.
At no time since Adam and Eve
we're 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 lack Of proper distribution.
Slight variations in production have
forced a change in diet and n local
ity has felt the pinch of want, while
another surfeited, but the world as a
whole has ever been a land Of plenty.
We now have 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
1t 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
of the forest, gather it from wild
vines and draw 1t from streams. No
one should become alarmed; the
world will never starve.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not supply
him and his fright has found express
sion on the statute books of u states
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly and with.
out reference to a market, and regard
less of the demands of the consumer.
Back to the Soil.
The city people have been urging
each other 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.

able land where they can make a
living by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need them
so far al increasing production is con-
cerned; we nov have all the producers
we can use. The city man has very
erroneous ideas of agricultural condi-
tons. The commonly accepted theory
that we n short on production Is all
wrong. Our annual increase in pro.
duction far exceeds that Of our in.
crease in population.

If the government wants to do something of real value to the
country, let it create a farm loan department in connection with
its postal banks, through which money may be borrowed on gilt
edge real estate security at the rate governmentbonds draw, 2 IL
to 5 per cent, then use these mortgages as basis on which to
issue the currency to be loaned. This wouldsgive a circulating
medium as good as gold-there is no better security than the
homes of rural ommunities-and would give the farmers money
to use in their business at rates of interest enjoyed by other more
favored classes of industry. In turn the ~localsbanks would reap
the benefits from the increased circulation andscOuld take care of
the short time loans through any stress that might overtake the
community. The local merchants would benefit and the whole
business world would take on a new life. This plan might not
suit the "fenanceers" of Wall Street, who have not only shorn
the lamb, but skinned him to a FRAGILE, but it would suit the farm
ers, who ought to be first in consideration by the government
which the said farmers have built up and preserved.
Last week a petition was being circulated in the city asking Mar
tin Olsen, the newly elected sheriff to appoint Ed. Elliot as one of
his deputies, and the same was being signed quite generally. We
do not question but what the motives of those behind the move
were the best, but after carefully thinking the matter over we
question whether it was just the right thing to do. Mr.. Olsen
comes the office to which he has been newly elected as a stranger
to the position, and no doubt with a view to filling the office in the
best possible manner. He will be entirely responsible for the act
ion of his deputies and it seems to us that he should be allowed
Utility of their acts. We have not the least doubt but what Mr..
Elliot would make a good deputy, but if anything should happen
Mr.. Olsen would be in a position to throw, in a measure, the re-
sponsibihty upon those who urged the appointment. Mr.. Olsen
to make his own selections, and after the campaign he went thru
and came out victorious we believe that he is fully entitled to that
privilege.
sixty days we may be expected to be able to learn of all kinds of
bills Introduced. We hope to see most of them defeated as we be-
Heve that we now have too many laws. There are some fairly
good laws which should be amended and others which should be
repealed, but deliver us from placing any more new laws on our
statute books.

PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS
IN MANY STATES HELP IS GIVEN
WIDOWS WITH CHILDREN.
In Some Aid Is Also Extended to
Wives Whose Husbands Are Con-
fined in Prisons.

wives whose HUSBANDS Are CON-
fined in Prisons.
That the problem of poverty is re-
state legislatures is shown in the
some twenty-five different states. In
almost every state, says the Christ
ian Herald, peculiar difficulties are
encountered in the operation of the
law. In almost all of the states
which have enacted such laws the
pension is made dependent upon the
worthiness of the applicant, who
must be widow with children. Some
states grant relief to those whose
husbands are in prison or have de-
serted their homes. In nearly every
state the care and training of the
children are taken into account.
New York is considering similar
step, but the prospect, viewed in
the light of recent statistics, is not
reassuring. There are in the me-
tropolis alone 1876, 900 widows who
would be pension claimants, most of
them doubtless eligible under ordi-
nary rules. In New York, in a larg-
er degree than elsewhere, the enact
ment of a widows pension law would
mean a revolution in present relief
methods. 1t would take out of the
province of private charity much of
the work it is now doing, but, being
more systematic and extensive, it
would get into closer touch and more
intimate relations with the sources
of suffering and be better informed
than any private philanthropy as to
the worthiness of applicants for the
bounty of the state.
