MARKETING WORLDS
GREATEST PROBLEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUCTION.
SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION.

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The economic distribution Of farm
products is today the worlds greatest
problem and the war while II has
brought its hardships, has clearly en-
phasized the importance Of distribu.
ton as a factor in American agricHl-
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 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
market.
The World viii Never starve.
At no time since Adam and Eve
were 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 on but
il 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 II 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 our states |
and nations and the farmer has been
urged to produce recklessly and with |
out reference to 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 earths 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
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 a Farm.
Taking the world as one big farm.

that Cobbel had only recently cele-

According to those who are wont to

is the man who caused the strained
relations between Pallota and his
wife which caused the severance of
diplomatic, domestic and business re-
lations.
Pallota was in Vicksburg several
weeks last year, coming here from
New Orleans where he received or

JITNEYS CAUSE CUT.

Jackson, Miss, May 2S.-The Jack
son Light and Traction Company has
discontinued conductors on some of
the street car lines, and is now oper-
ating a one-man car. So far but three
cars have been thus trimmed, but the
probability is that others will be
minus a conductor in the near future.
The conductors on the main line will
be the last to go.
This curtailment of forces and eX-
penses is due to the advent of the
jitney. Since their appearance on the
streets of Jackson, the street car sys-
TEN has lost an average of $4,000 a
month, it is said, and the manage
ment is doing everything possible to
curtail expenses without impairins
