MARKETING WORLDS
 GREATEST PROBLEM WE ARE LONG ON PRODUC- TON, SHORT ON DISTRI-
 BUTTON.
By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers Union

The economic distribution of arm products is today the world S greatest problem and the war, while 1t has brought it's hardships, has clearly emphasized the im- 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.
 This result will, in a measure, compensate Us for our war losses, for 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 of this world suffered from lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of ere ation to this good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Slight variations in production have forced change in diet and one locality 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 sur plus area to draw on but 1t is safe to estimate that in case of dire ne cessity one-half the earth's popu- lation could knock their living out of the trees of the forests, gather 1t from wild vines and draw 1t
