This contributed 60 per cent of the higher output with the remaining 40 per cent resulting from better yields. The United States accounted for an estimated 23 per cent of the world increase in harvested area and it was relatively easily achieved because it represented land taken out of production by government action in the 19605. By contrast, in the developing countries, where the greatest need for food exists, the harvested area increased by only 14 per cent LANDIS BROTHERS INC. M. S.

LAPP of the world total; Without the large increase in the U.S. acreage, there would have been acute grain shortages in 1972-1976, states the MF report. With the world population increasing at the rate of 88 million people a year, an extra 30 million metric tons a year are now needed merely to maintain the food levels of the past 15 years. In the next four years, this will require an increase equivalent to almost three times the total wheat and feed grain output of Canada, and by 1985 the increase must approach that of the total present production of the U.S. The United States’ contribution to the increase needed is unlikely to be DEPENDABLE MOTORS Honey Brook. PA 215-273-3131 anywhere near that of its achievement between 1972 and 1976. But, because of the high productivity in the U.S., for every acre not added there, the world on average must add two acres of land and the developing countries must add three acres. Together with a predicted lower rate of expansion in the United States, little prospect is foreseen for Western and Eastern Europe to increase its production much beyond the levels ruling before last year’s drought. Similarly, it is thought unlikely that Russia, China, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and Canada can go on adding the same incremental volumes to their production as have been HARRY L TROOP Rt I Cochranville, PA 19330 215-593-6731 SWOPE & BASHORE, INC.

(Garbage type bags - however are actually quite desireable). The pool will be held only one day, Thursday, June 16, portion of the increase required in the next four years, which will mean improving their 1972-1976 production achievement threefold. 1977 at the Carlisle Fair Grounds located along Route 34 in Carlisle near H.R.

Wool will be accepted on June 16th from 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The grading crew will take their lunch break from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. The Cumberland County 4-Hi Sheep Club will operate a lunch stand. Producers from nearby counties are welcome. There are no dues or membership fees. Wool will be graded and weighed in the poolers presence. He will get a receipt showing pounds of each grade. Producers will receive checks for wool with in a couple weeks after the pool. Pennsylvania State University Extension livestock specialists will conduct wool grading demonstrations as part of the day’s activities.
