city cousins back to the soil and
this earth's surface contains To-
092, 100000 idle acres of tillable
land where they can make liv-
ing by tickling the earth with a
forked stick, but we do not need
them so far as increasing produc-
ton is concerned. The city man
has very erroneous ideas of agri-
cultural conditions. The common
ly accepted theory that we are
short on production is all wrong.
Our annual increase in produc-
ton 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. Ofthis amount
there is Approximately 750,000,OO0
acres on the western and 1861
100000 acres on the eastern hem
isphere, in cultivation. This esti-
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, etc, where large
quantities of meat are produced.
The worlds annual crop an
proximates fifteen billion bushels
of cereals, thirteen billion pounds
of fibre and sixty-fve million
tons of meat.
The world shows an average
increase in cereal production of
Is per cent during the past de-
cade, compared with the previous
five years, while the worlds Don
ulation shows an increase of only
8 per cent.
The ain in production far ex-
ceeds that of our increase in. DON

that the farmer can easily in

that the rate on plows remain the

MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PROBLEM

The economic distribution OF
arm products is today the world 5
greatest problem and the war,
while 1t has brought its hardships,
has clearly emphasized the i'm
portance of distribution as a fact
or IN American agriculture and
promises to give the farmers the
cooperation of the government
and the business men the solution
OF their marketing problem.
his result will, in a measure,
compensate us for our war losses,
tor the business interests and
government have been in the
main assisting almost exclusively
on the production side of agricul-
ture. While the department 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 market.
The World Will Never Starve.
AT no time since Adam and
Eve were driven from the Garden
OF Eden have the inhabitants o.
this world suffered from lack of
production, but some people have
gone hungry from the day of ere
alton to this good hour for the
lack of proper distribution. Slight
variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one
locality has felt the pinch of want
while another surfeited, but the
world as a whole has ever been
land of plenty.
We now have less than one
tenth of the tillable land of the
earHh's surface under cultivation,
and we not only have this SUR
plus area to draw on but it is safe
to estimate that in case of dire ne
cesslty one-half the earth's popu-
lation could knock their living out
of the trees of the forests, gather
1t from wild vines md draw it
from streams. No one should be-
come alarmed; the world will
never starve.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not sup
ply him and his fright has found
expression on the statute books
OF our states and nations, and the
farmer has been urged to produce
recklessly and without reference
to market, and regardless of the
demands of the consumer.

ing each other to move back to

BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

IcCtu1tI Olllbu
The recent action of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission in
granting an increase in freight
rates in the eastern classification
of territory; the application Of
the roads by state and interstate
commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of Pres
ident Wilson on the subject
bring the farmers of this nation
face to face with the problem Of
an increase in freight rates. 1t
is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affect
ing the welfare of the farmers
squarely and we will do so in
this instance. II
The transportation facilities OF
the United States are inadequate
to effectively meet the demands
of commerce and particularly in
the South and West additional
railway mileage is needed to ac-
commodate the movement of farm
'products. If in the wisdom of
our Railroad Commissions an in
crease in freight rates is neces-
sary to bring about an improve
ment in our transportation SER
vice, and an extension of our
mileage, then an increase should
be granted and the farmer is will
ing to share such proportion of
the increase as justly belongs to
him, but we have some sugges-
tons to make as to the manner in
which this increase shall be lev
led

Rates Follow Lines of Least Re-
SiStance.

S1Stance.
The freight rates of the nation
have been built up along lines OF
least resistance. The merchant,
the manufacturer, the miner, the
miller, the lumberman and the
cattleman have had their traffic
bureaus thoroughly organized and
in many instances they have pur-
sued the railroad without mercy
and with the power of organized
tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with un-
restrained greed they have eaten
the vitals out of our transporta-
ton system and since we have
had railroad commissions, these
interests, with skill and cunning,
are represented at every hearing
in which their business is in
volved.
The farmer is seldom repre-
scented at rate hearings as his or
CARNATIONS have never had the
finances to employ counsel to de-
velop his side Of the case and as
a result, the products OF the pillow
bear an unequal burden of the
freight expense.
What is Fair Rate?
We do not know what constl-
tutes a basis for rate making and
have never heard of anyone who
did claim to know much about
it, but if the prosperity OF the
farm is a factor to be considered
and the railroad commission con-
cludes that an increase IN rates
is necessary, we would prefer
that it come to us through ar
ticles of consumption on their
