GROWTH IN CROP ACREAGE FORSEEN; HOPE IN LOW PRODUCTION COST. WHEN THERE'S A CHILL IN THE AIR PAGE FOUR 4f What Will You Do? i By a B. BAKES, Senior Agricultural Economist United States Department of Agriculture. The present agricultural situation has many causes, but among the most important may be mentioned excessive production, changes in diet, and changes in exports and population trend. Increase in agricultural produc tion has been more rapid since 1922 than in any previous period since 1900. The production of farm prod ucts between 1917 and 1926 increas ed nearly 14 per cent, while popu lation increased only 8 per cent LESS MEAT EATEN Changes in diet affect the farm situation considerably. It takes about six pounds of corn to produce a pound of dressed pork, about six teen pounds of grain or equivalent feed to produce a pound of dressed beef; consequently, a shift from a cereal toward a meat diet means a notable increase in the consumption of farm products. The reduction in meat consumption means a reduc tion in crop acreage needed and may result in the increasing surplus of foodstuffs. If it continues it will aggravate the agricultural situa tion. Exports of foodstuffs to Europe have decreased in recent years. Provided immigration does not increase, if is believed that in 20 or 30 years the population will begin to decline. The effect of a declin ing population upon agriculture would be most serious, unless con ditions should be such as to facil itate exports. OVERPRODUCTION DABGEB In the next decade, it is likely tractors and autos will continue to replace horses or mules. If this process of replacement goes on, there will be 15 to 20 million acres more of crop land released to feed milk and meat animals, instead of being used to feed horses and mules. In addition, better conditions have brought about a great im provement in the amount of meat and milk produced per unit of feed consumed. These factors are capable of in creasing agricultural production more rapidly than the increase in human population, but whether they will do so no one can state positively. There are many other factors that may intervene. All that can be said is that the approach of agricultural production and consumption on a price level that will place the farmer on a par with the average of other occupa tions has been retarded for nearly a decade.

Th awed whispers that followed his smashing knockout of gallant Tom Heeney have grown to delirious yells of approval. The suspicion that the giant Argentinian is the Champion the fight world is seeking has become a certainty to some excited fans. the basis of the world's market, and they seem likely to continue to sell there. They have found it profit able to do this in the past largely because of the greater use of power than in most other countries, and greater production per farmer; while in recent years they have ac quired the further advantage of more efficient livestock than most foreign lands possess. These two advantages can be fur ther developed; and if, in addition, the prices of things farmers buy should go down, it would be quite possible for the farmer to recover economic equality with other occu pations despite the prospect of a stationary or possibly declining pop ulation 20 or 30 years from now. FARM POINTERS. The practice of discing land for fall grain is an undesirable one, be lieves the Oregon Experiment sta tion, unless the land has been spring plowed and is in good physical con dition in the fall, or unless the ground is being prepared for such crops as vetch and mixtures of vetch and oats for hay. For the production of fall wheat or barley or even oats for grain, it is believed best to plow.
