T #—The pres- ent economic position of the farmer is exactly the opposite of that pre- dicted by the Malthusian law, Pro- fessor Firman E. Baer. head of the | department of soils, Ohio State Uni. | versity, declared in an address here before representatives of the com- mercial fertilizer industry. In 1789 the Rev. Thomas R.

On the contrary. Professor Baer of the population.

He declares that if the farmers | of the world were to utilize every | possible means of increasing the food supply, the markets would be hopelessly glutted within a2 few years, food would be produced far |ahead of the demand. prices would | drop, and untold wastes result.
