Farm Production
. , Very Necessary
U. S. Department Of Agricul
ture Says Increase Must
Seach 67 Per Cent By
1975 To Meet Needs ,
The Department of Agriculture
is warning Americans that there
must be a huge increase in arm
production' to prevent hunger
among the millions of people being
added to U. S. population.
The increase la the fastest i
history because people are living
longer than ever before and more
babies are being born.
The production and Marketing
Administration has drawn a time
table showing how much more the
farmers must produce by 1975 if
the population expands only to a
"medium" degree.
The officials estimate that by
1975 the production of all farm
commodities will have to be in
creased about 67 per cent (more
than two-thirds) above what it
was before World War II. This
means an increase of about 20 per
cent above 1950.
Here are some samples of how
much extra food would have to be
produced to meet this goal:
5 12 billion pounds of beef, veal,
pork, lamb and mutton.
30 billion pounds of milk.
15 billion more eggs.
This time table is based on esti
mates that the total U. S. popula
tion in 1975 will be around ISO
million' people, a 38 million in
crease. Agriculture officials say (he
problem of feeding all of these ex
tra people is complicated because
croplands already are being used
to iced today's DODulation.
In "past years it was possible
simply to open up new farm lands
to feed the increasing populatioa
But with almost all of the good
crop land occupied farmers now
are faced with the job of increas
ing the production of each acre, so
it will feed more people,
r Csn-iamers costiaua to expauJ
production? Or will some Ameri
cans have to go hungry because
there will be too many of them
in 1975 to live off the land?
The group of PMA experts takes
an optimistic viewpoint, but taey
say the farmer must keep abreast
of scientific developments if every
one is to be fed as well as he is
today. ' ,
They say that if all the known
gsod farming practices are applied
to all V. S. farms it will boost pro
duction per acre tremendously.
And they believe the scientists
havent exhausted all possibilities
cause almost all of America's good
for improving crops and livestock;
they think many great advancments
lie in the future.
They give these samples cf what

Fd 'Energy' Often
MsuBrterstood ( - . ,
The word "energy in connec
tion with food often b misunder
stood because it has many mean
ings. To the nutritionist as to the
22.
Postal officials received word
in a bulletin that those persons
on firms that have bees laying
a dollar and a dime for 9 past
cards would bow pay just a buck.
No one has yet figured jut why
the government decided to tack
on a 10 per cent additional sum
for lots of 50 or more.
eagieer,. energy means, power
from fuel or heat, aud often, fc
measured in the calories or heat j
units. But mare popular aseaEins
of the word "energy" are vi, '
vigor, vitality, or even spirit
Thus a homemaker my cos-tlutle-tSiat
the more "energy foods"
her children eat, the more energe
tic they will be. And she may sup
pose that a food described as a
'quick source of energy" is needed
especially by anyone who is fatigu
ed ojf listless.
Just the contrary may be true,
nutritionists tell us. The so-called
"high energy foods" are the starch
es, sugars and fats, because they
are the chief sources of fuel or cal
wies. for the" activity of the body.
But if used in excess these foods
are stored as fat; thus they may
make a person feel less energetic.
Too many of these "energy foods''
iss the diet may cut down oa other
nutrients, such as vitamins or iro
tern whick the "body needs for nu
trioational well-being and soraJ
vun and vigor,
The term "fuel food" may be
preferable to the more wideiy iutd
"energy food" to prevent this
common mtRiuwierstantpn.

in 1949 it increased hay and pas
ture forage output by 20 million
tons. That production equals all the
grass and pasture normally avail
able in a year in West Virginia,
Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia. Converted to
beef, it is the equivalent of I 1-2
billion pounds of meat, live weight.
When three million tons of phos
phate fertilizer was used on V
hay and pasture lands In 1949, it
increased hay and pasture forage
