Page Seven 'M Gearing Output to Stable Population Gives Farm And Industry Problem (Editor's Note: A rapidly grow ing population, once meant to - American manufacturers an ever Increasing market. But with Im migration restricted and fam ilies decreasing In size, those manufacturers soon may have to - face a stationary population, as Is explained In this the last of three articles on new population statistics.) By Alexander R. George , WASHINGTON VP) A rapidly de clining birth-rate may be of scant concern now to the average pro ducer or consumer struggling to keep out of the red but It has become a real problem for several economists. With over-production already- di agnosed as a world malady some thing must be done within the next quarter of a century, these econo mists assert, . to gear agricultural and Industrial production to a pros pectively stable or declining popula tion. ' "" In northwestern Europe, where most of, our agricultural exports and . a large share of the industrial ex fpotta go. as well as In the United States, the birth-rate has been de clining for 60 years. It Is clear, says' Oliver E, Baker, economist of the department of agriculture, that American farm ers cannot depend on continuous expansion of the northern European market. In addition to a declining birth rate, agricultural technique is ad vancing in northern Europe as It Is In North America, Dr. Baker says. In northwestern Europe the acre yields of some of the crops are twice as high as In the United States. Likewise It is apparent, econo mists Bay, that the market in Eu rope for American manufactures cannot be greatly Increased. Indus trial technique also Is advancing there, and post-war American op portunities are lessening as the continental nations become more and more committed to the policy 'PILES GO QUICK Without Salves or Cutting Itching, bleeding, protruding piles are caused by bad circulation of the blood In the affected parts. The parts become weak, flabby, almost dead. Only an Internal remedy can remove the cause that's why salves, suppos itories and cutting fail. Dr. Leon hardt's prescription, HEM-ROID, suc ceeds because it removes congestion, . restores circulation, heals and strengthens the diseased parts.

Intensification of this national istic spirit and the desire for secur ity with respect to the food feupply has brought a wave of tariff enact ments and other trade restriction measures. Dr. Robert R. Kuczynskl, of the Brookings Institution, , whose sur vey of the falling birth-rate In north western Europe shows "that these populations are doomed to die out unless fertility rises," says there is not a single industry In the United States that does not operate on the assumption Of an increasing popula tion. Consequently a stable or declining population, Dr. Kuczynskl says, will severely hit any -American industry that . falls to adjust Its production and distribution - to meet such a slt uatlbp.: " While science may create new consumer demands like that of the automobile, he believes that busi ness In the United States will have to accommodate itself to a more or less stabilized consumption as other nations, notably France, have done. decay and then spading them In the decaying matter.

Fortunately they can be controlled to a great extent. They can be regu lated as to, texture and fertility If given proper attention. They can also be regulated in a large measure as to drainage. Drainage can be pro vided where the soil Is not well drained. A more difficult problem is that of checking drainage where the subsoil is sand of great depth such as is found in gardens in some sections. Study soil conditions and take measures each year to Improve its quality. In a few seasons it will be brought to proper tilth. Humus is the great curative to break up heavy soils and make light, sandy soils more moisture retentive. It is the great ameliorator of clay and sandy soils. It is also needed to replenish losses from plant growth in soil of Ideal quality and tilth. In the olden days, it was readily supplied in the form of stable ma nure spaded or plowed In each year, the most practical means of keeping soils up to grade. Now that is prac tically impossible for the great ma jority of gardeners. The substitute is the home-made composite heap, made by stacking up waste vege table matter, such as lawn clippings, autumn leaves, weeds pulled from the garden and old vegetable and, flower tops, wetting them down to THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK " OF LA"GRANDE - Sound CAPITAL & SURPLUS $150,000.00 COMMUNITY LUNCHEONS Speakers from Allied Forces FRIDAY APRIL 8 Woman's Luncheon Norma C.

She watched her sister and followed her about as never before. When the poetirtan came, it was she who ran into the hall to see if there was a letter from the young man.
