MOORE / COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA 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."
