WILMINGTON, Del. ? During
the past 20 years, while world
population has Increased 25 per
cent, world food production has
inched up a scant live per cent.
Yet In the United States, with an
18 per cent increase in population
in the same period, food produc
tion has leaped ahead by 50 per
cent.
The story of how modern tech
nology ? science and the farmfer
teamed together..? has accom
plished this American agricultur
al miracle Is told in a fascinating
picture - filled booklet, "The Story
of Agricultural Chemicals," which
is being distributed by the Du
Pont Company. It is the latest in
thfc "This Is Du Pont" series.
While every American has the
output, of 7.4 acres of land each
year to fill his food requirements,
a Japanese, for instance, has the
fruits of less than a quarter-acre,
the book points out. Still more
important, a veritable revolution I
in farming methods, stemming
from new farm machines/modern
organic chemicals which lay low
the farmer's traditional enemies
in nature, and improved varieties
of plants and breeds of livestock,
has made those Amferican acres
pay off in a steady, dependable
stream.
As American farmers adapt
new scientific developments to
their operations, a new-found
freedom is also being flelt throu
ghout rural areas, the booklet
shows. Better working conditions,
higher living standards, and more
leisure for fram workers and ow
ners alike are changing the ap
pearance of both farm homes and
country towns.
"Thte massive thrust of tech
nology, not social protest," it is
shown, "has brought to the A-'
merlcan farm its vast productivi
ty and fruitfulness." Where, in
Colonial times, 85 per cent of the
population- were farmers, food
producers today represent only
about 12 per cent of our popula
tion.
Outside Earnings
OK Under GI Bill
Veterans attending school or
college under the Korean GI Bill
werte reminded by the Veterans
Administration that the amount
of money they may earn outside
of school hours has ro effect what
soever on the GI allowances paid
them by the Government.
The monthly allowances will
remain the samfe, regardless of
outside earnings, VA said. In fact,
these earnings need not even be
reported to the VA.
The only "ceiling" under the Ko
rean GI Bill applies to veterans
taking on-the-job or apprentice
training. But even this "ceiling"
of $310. a month imposes no limit
whatsoever upon how much a
veteran may earn.
Instead it works this way:
when the veteran's earnings as a
trained, plus his monthly GI al
lowance, exceed $310 a month,
VA scales down the allowance
accordingly, to bring the total
within the $310 limit.
The $310-a-month ceiling ap
plies to all on-the-job trainees,
regardless of the rate ol GI al
lowance they are receiving. The
beginning allowance rate for a
veteran with no dependents Is $95
a mjnth; with one dependent, it
is $110, and with more thtn one
dependent, is $130. Under the law,
the rate is reduced at four-month
intervals, as training progresses
land as their earning ability In
creases. -

Dr. S. W. Uaii a fisheries expert from the Food and Agricultural
Organization of the United Nations (FAO) examines a flsh harvest
netted from an experimental pond In Thailand. The fish which
will he distributed to Thai farmer* so that they can start their
own breeding ponds, are known as tl lapis, a form of perch.
Recent experiments made by FAO at the request of the govern

for fish culture as well. The added yield not only provides extra

Child's Toy Chest May Contain Dangerous
''Weapons"; Need for Housecleaning Cited
. ? ' ? ? ?? ? ? - - -
BOSTON ? Would you let your
children play with a chest full
of knives, broken glass and live
ammunition? Unless you have
given your children's toychest a
housecleanlng recently, chances
are it contains broken playthings
which are potentially as danger
ous as forbidden adult weapons.
According to the Institute for
i Safer Living of the American Mu
tual Liability Insurance Com
pany, most parents are aware of
the improvements incorporated
by many tpy manufacturers in
the design of toys for safety- con
clous Christmas shoppers. But too
often parents make the mistake
of assuming tha?. a toy which was
a safe plaything when purchased
will continue to be harmless as
long as the child plays with it.
Toys are not made to last for
tever. Manufacturers quite right
ly assume that as a child grows
older, his choice of playthings
changes. It is the responsibility
of every ps? ent, says the Insti
tute, to discard or repair broken
toys and dangerous playthings
which have accumulated over a
period of time.
With the anticipation of brand
ihaasaafflsssasaa!
ntew toys for Christmas to bridge
the gap, now Is the time lor a
toy housecleaning. Look for and
discard broken plastic toys which
have sharp edges, unwound me
tal springs, sticks on balloons,
flags or pinwheels, broken water
color brush handles, rusted tin
aqi sioo; pjoq^snoq pus uapj?3

children may have been playing
with, broken marbles, broken
wooden toys with jagged edges
and readily flammable "dress up
clothes."
The Institute emphasizes thfe
fact that when jour child's safety
is at stake, sentimental attach
ments to favorite old playthings
must be ignored. If you are hesi
tant to take Junior's beloved old
rusted toy truck away from him,
remember that temporary tears
of loss are more easily borne than
cries of physical pain. And if San
ta brings a shiny new truck, it
will be twice as welcome!
