production is the processing
of fertilizers. Fertilizers are
badly needed in many paits of
the world.
One of the reasons for many
low crop yields in foreign coun
tries is insects These losses oc
cur both in the field and in
storage. Better insecticides
would eliminate these losses
Deserts, swamps, tropic land,
and unused land make up the

capacity It is veiy important
that fei tilizers, insecticides,
and othei products be produced
to bring all unused and under

production
If research does discover
these things, can they be put

thiealens the United States.
We must peel back 0111 cover
of wealth ignoiance and un
concern and icalue that the
food situations we i ead about in

The tune toi change is now,
not iue oi ten coats fiom now,
but immediately We aie the
