Ii it isn't an unneutral question,
we d like to inquire VIII y it is that
civilians have no right to shoot a
uniformed enemy when the enemy
assumes the right to shoot the un-
uniformed civilian. In this war
game it's the peaceful, innocent
men and women who get the worst
of it. They are massacred by
rifle volleys, airship bombs and
warship shells. And if a madden
ed survivor SO much as lirts a
beanblower against the organic
ed aggressor, everybody in sight is
stood up against a wall and shot,
just because the malefactor pre-
sumed to defend himself, his fam
lily and his country without appar-
elling himself in the usual style.

MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PROBL.II Ell
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION,
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

The economic distribution of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem and the war, while 1t has
brought it's hardships, has clearly en-
phasized the 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 our war losses, for the
business interests and government
have been in the main assisting al
most exclusively on the production
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 a
market.
The World viii 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 change in diet and one local
ity has felt the pinch Of want, while
another surfeited but the world as
whole has ever been 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 Oh but
it 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 it 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 our states
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly and with
out referenca to g 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-
tains 1902, 100000 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 is con-
cerned;. We now have all the producers

rhe Rock Island railroad

The Rock Island railroad com
pany is endeavoring to encourage
the raising of Sudan grass in tie
dry territories through which its
roads run. This grass has been
sue cessfully raised in the dry re
gions of Texas, Oklahoma, west
ern Kansas and Colorado during
the past six years, and yields from
one to four tons per acre. The
gr ss is said to be the original
type of wild sorghum and will
mature with but small quantity
of rain. One danger in sowing ii
is that the seed is 20 easily mis-,
taken for the Johnson grass which
Is pest in the south, and experts
can hardly distinguish between the
two seeds.

We can use. The city man has very
erroneous ideas of agricultural condi-
tions The commonly accepted theory
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 Farm.
Taking the world as one big farm,
we find two billion acres of land in
cultivation. OF this amount there isy
approximately 75O.OOOO0O acres on the
western and 1850, 100000 acres on the
eastern hemisphere, in cultivation.
This estimate, of course, does not in
clude grazing lands, forests, etc.
where large quantities of meat are
produced.
The worlds annual crop approxi-
mates fifteen billion bushels OF ce-
reals, thirteen billion pounds Of fibre
and sixty-five million tons Of meat
The average annual world crop for
the past five years, compared with the
previous five years, is as follows
Past Half Previous Half
Crops Decade. Decade.
Corn (Bu.) S,934,174OO0 3,403, 3,655, 900

Oats (Bu.) 4,120,O17, 900 $685. ,315 900
Cotton (Bales) 19,863,sOO 17,541,2O
The world shows an average in
crease in cereal production of 13 per
cent during the past decade, compared
with the previous five years, while the
worlds population shows an increase
of only three per cent.
The gain 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
cent If remunerative market can be
found for the products. In textile
fibres the world shows an increase
during the past half decade in produc-
ton of Is per cent against popula-
tion increase of three per cent.
The people of this nation should
address themselves to the subject Of
improved facilities for distribution.

She slipped down upon the bare
floor and crouched there shuddering
and agonized, her disheveled hair wet
with tears. Was her love to be but
the thing of an hour, a single clasp
and then, forever, nothing? His ia
theirs deed was not his fault Yet
how could she love man whose every
feature brought pang to that mother
she loved more than herself? So,
over and over, the wheel of her
thought turned in the same desolate
groove, and over and over the parox.
ysms of grief and longing submerged
her.
Noiselessly as she had descended.
she crept again up the stair. AS she
passed her mothers door, she paused
a moment, and laying her arms out
across 1t, pressed her lips to the dark
grain of the wood.
