POPULATION AND FOOD SUPPLY culture Department Research, Branch, says the present abundance of food in the United States is only temporary and that the population is. steadily outdistancing in-; creased food production. In a speech, in St. Louis, recent-| ly, Dr. Shaw estimated the nation’s growth at 2,500,000; persons a@ year. He placed births in 1952 at 3,889,000, which rep-! resents a record ‘baby crop. Because the death rate is be-} ing cut down steadiiy, the population increase is being | expanded from two directions — more births and fewer, deaths, # F Dr. Shaw estimates that the population of the United States will be at least 190,000,000 by 1975 and says that U, S. farmers will have to produce about one-third more food than they did in 1950 {f the living standard is to be retained where it is, with this increased population. He estimates that at the present production rate. the one- third increase would require ebout 100,000,000 acres of crop lands, though this much good farm land is not available. Dr. Shaw believes most of the good crop lands in this country are now being farmed. The obvious solution is to make the available acre- . age produce more. Even if Dr. Shaw’s estimate is correct, that 30,000,000 more acres of food land can be found, then the total acreage available to U. S. farmers in 1975 will have to produce what another 70,000,000 acres could produce at present production rates. It is questionable whether the available land can be made to produce this much more food, per acre, by 1975. Shaw says most of the bright ideas scientists have come} up with for increasing production in recent years have! already been utilized: He lists mechanization, new meth- _ ods of fertilizing and new fertilizers, and new lines of plants, such as hybrid corn, and new breeds of animals. | The Department of Agriculture official believes it is be-| coming harder to discover ways to increase production, per acre, and if his appraisal is correct; “we have to get some new ideas to feed those 190.000,000 Americans of 1975."

At the office of Pravda. itself, we watched the process’ of publi- cation of this four-to-eight page newspaper which is probably one of the most powerful influences in molding the thought and opinion of Soviet citizens. We exchanged views with Romanchikov, director of the printing and publishing ac- tivities associated with Pravda. In addition to the aewspaper, with a At our own hotel, during our brief stay, at least some 20 Chi- nese were there when we arrived; ‘so far as we could learn they were scientists attending a At the same time there was an even larger delegation of young people, who also appeared to be Chinese, most of them apparently in their early 20s.

With a payroll of 3,000 workers, Pravda has its own apartment house for them, a rest home near Moscow, a sanitarium in the Cau- easus, and a technical school teach- ing a four-year course in printing for youngsters who have completed the middle school, spokesman continued.
