WHY THE WORLD. IS SHORT IN ITS
 FOOD PRODUCTION
Condition Not Entirely Tenn porary One Due to Out
 break of the World War

The United States is regarded pri- marily an agricultural country and one of the worlds great treasure houses of food, yet our food exports are slightly exceeded by our food inn ports. That is, with all our rich to feed ourselves.
 Many people have been feeling that food scarcity is caused by the war only, and that these conditions can be depended upon to cease when peace is signed. Yet all over Europe there has been a lack of fertilization of the soil for the past three seasons. Vital elements of plant food have either been cut off, or have been so high priced that the ordinary farmer could not get them. Germany has had a practical monopoly of potash, but even in Germany soi fertility has de- clined.
 Soil production can not be kept up by the forced labors of prisoners or by the work of women, old men and children. Europe will feel this re- duced production for five years after LU0 war; say SOOG 3uCnOTlIleS. Our own soil also shows lack of proper fertilization. IT is partly due to negligence, party to the cutting off of our supplies of potash.
 The great numbers of men killed and crippled will make agricultural labor scarce for years. Europe will keep calling on us for food and may demand even more than now.
 Evidently food shortage is no tenn porary condition, and far reaching measures of relief need to be taken. First of course is the improvement of our own production, which our government experts are working. Then there is the possible develop ment of unused resources in other countries.
 Of these undeveloped resources probably the fields of South America are the most extensive. They form a great reserve against the needs of the future, though they cannot be depended upon for immediate re- suits.
