Food Prices Up All Over World Rising food prices are a worldwide problem. A recent report by the Foreign Agricultural Ser vice shows that food prices rose 243% in Chile last year alone. In other countries, 1972 food prices were up 6.7% in Canada, 7.4% in the United Kingdom, 11.3% in Ireland, and 4.3% in the United States. In Japan, where food prices are higher than those throughout most of the world, the increase was only 3.7%. By mid-March of 1973, res idents of Tokyo were paying $3.57 for a pound of sirloin steak, $1.67 a pound for broilers, $1.68 a pound for butter, $1.06 a dozen for eggs, $1.70 for a head of lettuce, and $l.lO for a pound of tomatoes.

CO SPECIAL - SPECIAL - SPECIAL - SPECIAL - SPECIAL T Weed-eating insects are be ing studied by scientists as a possible means of control for some 70 weed species. While these insects do not completely eliminate weeds, they do keep them within manageable limits at com paratively little cost. Insects have already been used successfully for control of the Klamath weed and the picklypear cactus, according to Dr. Lloyd Andres of USDA’s Agricultural Re search Service in Albany, Calif. They have also been partially successful in sup pressing the alligatorweed. The weed-eaters pick out only certain weeds to feed on and multiply rapidly. When a specific weed is suppressed, the scientist explains, the particular insect feeding on it decreases in numbers. If the weed takes hold again, the insect population rises. Dr. Andres says the weed eating insects offer no over night cure for weed problems since it sometimes takes from three to ten years for any noticeable weed suppression. However, he adds they can play an important role in biological weed control for the future.
