an essay cntest. Each wrote
on how be would feed and
care for the pigs if he won.
The essays were Judged by a
panel of area swine breeders,
and the four winners were:
Merlin Snader, Kenneth Zim
merman, Robert Fisher and
Galen Yoder.
The project pigs were se
lected from the farms of
John W, Eby, Raymond H.
Weaver, Tony Folker, and
Stauffer Homestead. The pigs
were selected at about forty
pounds, and will be placed on
a feeding program designed

• Food Crises
(Continued from Page 13)
Ho-rsfall. “This means we can
now feed the 'people, but for
how long?” He believes the
problem of feeding the grow
ing population must be solved
within the next 15 years.
Expanding the acreage used
for growing food, will not be
sufficient. There is no reason
able chance tor such expan
sion in the hungry lands, he
believes. And, in the United
States, one million acres are
lost to urbanization each year.
The i 5 0 'million acres in the
soil bank includes land of
poorer quality that will not
greatly improve food sup
plies.
Nor is exporting- American
agricultural know-how as
easy as it sounds, Horsfall
said. “How do you help an
impoverished nation? They
are proud nations, fearful of
the possibility of imperialism.

Workiug with local institu
tions is not always easy, or
even possible.” Local institu
tions are geared to another
pattern; the problems of
widely differing religious and
ethical standards and anti
s'cientifte 'attitudes 'are diffi
cult to solve, be stated.
Nonetheless, they have been
solved in at least two pro
grams that were successfully
aimed at helping hungry na
tions. These successful pro
grams, the Rockefeller proj
ect in Mexico and the Mac-
Arthur project in Japan,
should mold national policy
in the future, Horsfall sug
gested.

agricultural science to solve
the world’s food problem. “We
accept the challenge,” Hors
fall said. “But, how about
the tune lag?” It took 20
years for hybrid corn to be
accepted, 14 years tor weed
killers, and eight years for
Zmeb. “We haven’t time to
wait,” he warned. In brief,
he concluded, the Colleges of
Agricultural Sciences in ev
ery state of the union face
the challenge to do their' best
to provide solutions to the
food crisis ahead.
