Lar son, Dean of the Penn State University College of Agricul ture, said recently. “Such success,” he emphasiz ed, “will also hinge on the un derstanding and support of our non-farm public, who must be made aware that there is more to food production than filling a supermarket cart ” Dr. Larson made these re marks in conjunction with Pennsylvania Farm-City Week, which was observed November 20-26. Citing the leeent corn blight situabon as an example of how grain yields can be reduced almost overnight, the Dean pomted out that an abundance of food is not a guaranteed and absolute certainty Agricultural research is more essential today than ever be fore, he said “At present growth rates, world population will reach an estimated 6 or 7 billion by the end of the century, with four times as many people in the de veloping countries as in the de veloped ones,” Dr Larson said “And, in older to feed this many people, the world’s agri cultural production will have to double in the same period of time.” Maximum productivity, he pointed out, will depend on the development and wide use of improved practices, such as growing varieties with disease and insect resistance, application of propter kinds and amounts of fertilizer, and improved labor saving machinery and equip ment. The average family in the United States today is spending a smaller portion of its income on food than at any time since records have been kept. On the average, 17 cents of each dollar of income after taxes are spent to keep the family fed, Dr. Lar son emphasized That leaves 83 cents to be spent on other necessities or on luxuries. “However, it will take the con tinued efforts of all concerned with food production and pro cessing to keep nutritious sup plies on the shelves at a cost evryone can afford,” the Dean said.
