'The text of his address follows: . "First, a few comments about the criticism agriculture is receiving today. p "The great material advances 3 made by the U. S. have resulted ^ from the release of workers due to c increased efficiency of our aericul- c ure. "At the beginning of the 19th entury, the majority of American >eople labored on the land to pro luce the basic needs of man?that s, food, shelter, and clothing. "By 1856, 80 per cent of the peo >le in the nation worked on the and, but today only 13 per cent re farming for a living and that igure is dropping one half of a per ent each year.

"2. The rapd increase in popu lation in the U. S. has reduced the acreage of cropland per person in America from 3.1 acres in 1941 to about one acre toady. The popula tion increase, plus the loss of farm land to non-agricultural uses, in dicates that we will reach the criti cal point of one acre per person in 30 to 35 years. "3.
