TIE COUNTY FAIR
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

The farmer gets more out Of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man is an entertainment; to a
farmer it is education. Let US take a
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
Of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress or
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence oil all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch of
progress that will illuminate the path
way of civilization for future genera
tions. The men who gave us the
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test OF
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity. yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth. and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments. \

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection of cultured, clean and com.
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as we'll as the business Of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives Of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.

Canada Loyalty Supporting England.

Reports from Canada that Cana
dams are not in sympathy with Great
Britain in the European war and that
there is really no war spirit in the
Dominion, are at variance with the
actual conditions, as l observed
them," remarked Fred A. Raymond,
of st. Louis, former Canadian, at
the Raleigh. Il was greatly impress
ed with the war-like preparations,
but particularly with the activity in
Quebec. At Montreal the war had
not seemed to change conditions to
any extent and there were no great
military demonstrations, but in Que
bee, where the troops were mobiliz-
ing, the city was crowded with SOL
diers, and war was the one topic of
conversation in the hotels, cafes, in
the homes, and on the streets. The
city's business for the time was para
lyzed. Many men left lucrative posi-
tions and offered their services. Busi-
ness and professional men have en-
tered the service and many offices
were closed. l understand that in
most cases positions have been left
open to the men who enlisted and
many firms offered to pay the men
their regular salaries while absent.
"Valcartier, a place rarely heard
of before the war, has suddenly leap
ed into prominence because it is
there that the Canadian troops are
mobilizing. 1t is about e miles from
Quebec and covers an area 9 miles
long and miles wide. There were
some $4,000 troops there when
visited the place. The French people

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.
I'VE welcome our city cousins back to
the soil and this earth's surface con-
tains 16,0s2,160,o00 idle acres Of till
able land where they can make a
living by tickling the earth with a
iforked stick. but we do not need them
so far as increasing production is con-
cerned; we now have all the producers
we can use. The city man has very
erroneous ideas of agricultural condl'
: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 is
approximately 750,O00,000 acres on the
western and 1,2eo,0O0.O00 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 approx
mates fifteen billion bushels OF ce
reals, thirteen billion pounds of nbre
and sixty-fve 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.) 3,ss4,174.ooo 3,4o3,655,o
Wheat(Bu.) 1922, 100000 S,257, $4,000
Oats (Bu.) 4,12o,o17,ooo S.5oS,315,Ooo
Cotton (Bales) 19,s63,s00 17,541,2oO
The world shows an average In
crease in cereal production of Ii 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 rs pei
cent II a remunerative market can be
found for the products. In textile
ifbres the world shows an increase
during the past half decade in produc'
ton of is per cent against popula'
ton increase OF three per cent.
The people Of this nation should
address themselves to the subject OF
improved facilities for distribution.

MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PROBLEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION,

By Peter Radford

Jecturer National Farmers Union.
The economic distribution Of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem and the war, while II mas
brought its hardships, has clearly em-
phasized the importance Of distrlbu-
ton as a factor in American agrlcui'
ture and promises to give the 1arm-
ers the cooperation Of the govern
ment and the business men the
solution of their marketing problem.
This result will, in measure, COM
pensate US for our war losses. for the
business interests and government

were driven from the Garden OF Eden
