During the 1950's product

worker increased by 6-V2 per

‘imes the increased output
n nonagricultural industry,
which went up 2 per cent a
year in the same period.
Back in 1910, it took a
'armer 1 35 hours to produce
100 bushels of corn, 106 hrs

ledge to fanners and others
who put it to use.'
More and better machines
continue to replace labor
and boost production Today
we have more than four ti
mes as many cornpickers on
farms as in 1945, more than
14 times as many forage
harvesters, and more than
15 times as many pickup bal
ers.
Heavier applications and
more widespread use of
tilizers helped greatly to in
crease crop yield, giving
larger output on fewer acres
with less labor. Potash use
is now three times more than
m 1945, and nitrogen use
mere than five times that of
15 years ago.
More general use of pesti
cides has cut production los

ducts and services, many- of
them unknown a few years
ago, are now in common use
on U. S. farms.

our population reaches 230

PUREBRED WESSEX SADDLEBACK SWINE
NEW OUTSTANDING BREED OF HOGS FOR AMERICA
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
Records kept by the National Pig Breeders Ass'n of Great Britain since 1929
showed the WesJsex sows to have reared the highest number of pigs of any rec
orded breed in the country. Imported to U. S. A. in 1955.
What Breeders Say: . , ,
“We have en,oyed working wAh Wessex Saddleback Swire and rave ound
them to be a ''ood glining animal and very easy keepers”— Donald Thompson,
C arksville, Michigan „ , , „
“Wessex Saddlebacks are a wonderful breed I am very well pleased wi+h Ire
size litters and the .apid gams they make” Warren E Brown, Scotts, Michigan
“Having had Wessex Saddlebacks for about two years now, I am thoroughly
s.id on them I nave yet to find a breed I like better As "or feed conversion
they are better than any other b’-eed T have raised. I highly recommend Wessex
Sadd'eback Swine” Sam L Mast, Fredericksburg, Ohio
- - - ‘Wessex Saddleback Swine are the best hogs to handle that I ever had ’
John Scheblo, Ohio
“ the sows make wonderful mother and are easi y handled

20.7 millibn tons more Bruits
and vegetables and 29 bil
lion more eggs.
- To produce these and oth
er foods another 200 million
.acres of cropland would be
required if yeilds in 1975
' are the same as in 1956..
But we don’t Tiave 200
million more of crop
land. And we don’t need it,
according to Albrecht.
Greater effic’ency in crop
and livestock production will
make it possible to feed 230
million peop'e m 1975 from
about thp same total acreage
now used. Fu- + h->r, today’s
farmers are applying the soil
and water conservation mea
sures needed to protect the
land for maximum safe use
in 1975—and far into the
future
CHILD FEEDING

and textures of food, says

They are quick spot nr Ik
