Food Production Keeps
Pace with Population
Although population In the Uni-<
ted States has increaaed 28 million
aince 1MB, food production has
more than kept pace, according to
H. D. Godfrey, atate agriculture
conservation officer.
On a per capita baa is the preaent
estimated population of 161 mil
lion eata 16 per ceat more food
than in the period just prior to
1840. It ia significant, aaya Godfrey
that moat of the increaae in food
production haa come aince the
Agricultural Conaervation Program
started providing the mean* and
encouragement for farmera to car
ry out soil and water conservation
practices.
Godfrey hastens to add, however,
that he doesn't mean to give the
ACP all the credit. But the con
servation practices carried out by
the farmers cooperating in the pro
gram "have been a major factor."
Production figures show that ex
cept for potatoes there waa no sig
nificant increase in the per acre
yield of any major crop in all the
70 years before 1937, says God
frey. Since then the per acre yield
of all major crops has gone up.
Godfrey gives a great deal of
credit for increaaed yielda to the
work of agricultural scientists. Im
proved varieties, better fertiliza
tion, more effective means of con
trolling disease, insects and weeds,
and better soil management have
gone a long way in providing the
increases Educational aervices
have provided farmers with a
strong background of information.
The ACP, with ita elected farmer
committees in every county in the
state and with its direct financial
assistance has provided a means
of getting quick action by farmers.
Looking at it from thia stand
point, Godfrey says the ACP Is a
consumer program as well as a
farm program. "The program gives
assurance that an increasing pop
ulation can continue to eat well."
Proper egg cooling can mean
higher prices? as much as 13 to 20
per cent. An electric fan cooler
can do the job with only about 1
