Gearing Output to Stable Population

migration restricted and fam

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

Intensification of this national

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

The Garden
REGULATING- SOIL CONDITIONS
Soil conditions are a regulating
factor In the- success of a garden.
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
