GROWTH OF NATION NEEDS MORE FOOD PRODUCTION | Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Ball, Shows Causes of Commercial Supremacy. The commercial supremacy and the growth of the United States depends on an enormously increased food production to keep pace with the in- crease in population, according to Dr. E. D. Ball, assistant secretary of agri- culture, speaking yesterday at the City Club luncheon forum. The speak- er said that in fifteen years, if the present method was kept up, this country would become an importing uation, and its growth would stop. “In the last hundred years,” he said, ‘the populaton of the United States has increased 100,000,000, a8 compared with 10,000,000 for the two preceding centurie: If this rate of increase continues, we will soon be a food- importing nation, unless we begin to increase our acreage yield. We now have the greatest food production per man in the farming industry that is to be found in the world. What we need is greater attention to increas- ing the number of bushels per acr>. “We now produce about fourteen bushels of wheat per acre, whereas England produces twenty-eight and Germany thirty-two. We must apply the intensive methods that these other mnations employ.” The speaker sald that the trend of the population in this country from the country to the cities had not yet reached a serious stage, for a man to- day can produce three times as much as 2 man could about forty years ago, due to the introduction of machinery. If this country is to remain a food- exporting country, is to continue to grow and is to retain Its commercial supremacy, said Dr. Ball, it is ne sary to provide a larger and better equipped scientific force for studying agricultural problems, - furnish able leaders, sufficiently well paid to hold them in the government service, and increase greatly the agricultural pub- The LOUVRE 1115 1117 F STREET 3 1mais.
