The World as a Farm.

Taking the world as one big farm
we find two billion acres Of land in
cultivation. OF this amount there is
approximately 750,000,O 900 acres on the
western and 1880, 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 approx
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.) 3,934,17400O s,4O3, $685. 900

Oats (Bu.) 4.12O017,ooo a.5Os,315,OOO
Cotton (Bales) 19.S63,S00 17.541.200
The world shows an average IN.
crease in cereal production OF 10 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
1t Is safe to estimate that the farmer
can easily increase production rs per

found for the products. In textile
fibres the world shows an increase

The people of this nation should
address themselves to the subject of
improved facilities for distribution.

SOCIALISM-WHAT IS IT?-Its
basic principle is that all the machin-
cry of production and distribution
shall be natiOnalized; namely, that
the government shall own, control
and operate all those things that are
necessary to the life, happiness and
welfare of all the people. We all
know that there is hardly a necessity
in life that has not been farmed out
by special legislation to the privileged
few which enables them to dominate,
control and exploit the many.
Railroads, telegraphs, telephones,
coal, iron, copper, zinc, oil and all the
essentials of life should be owned
and operated for the benefit of all
the people, just as our public schools,
parceI-pOst and pOstOffice depart
ments, our municipal fire and police
departments, water and sanitary sys-
tens.

ANSWERS MRS. Js-In The Day
Book of July 6 Tread an article in The
Public Forum written by Mrs. J. 1
have been reading The Day Book for
quite while and have often seen ar
ticles have been tempted to answer,
but this one l could not resist.
Mrs. Us letter is a good one, but
it has its weak points, which would
like to strengthen. If 1 had a sore
finger I would not put a rag on my
toe, an instance to show that Mrs.
J. is looking for the good things I'M
der the bad system.
The thing for people to do who
would like to better conditions, as l
am sure Mrs. J. would, is to look
around and see the running of the
whole system and then study Social
ism fully and they will find the rem
edies they look for contained therein.
So if the conditions are to be bet
tered it will have to be under a diff
ferent administration than we have at
present.
l hope this little bit of advice will
benefit the people as a whole.-Harry
