present forest area of 483,vJ0,000
acres will still be available for grow
ing, timber if we can succeed in de-
yeloping an adequate policy of refor-
estation.
On our present forest areas, they
say, it would be possible by methods
not very costly to grow annually by
1850 about 10000, 100000 cubic feet of
lumber. With that supply consump-
ton of forest products could still be
maintained in this country at double
the present per capita consumption of
Germany and France. On the other
hand, consumption of forest products
even at the rate is only one-third of
our present per capita consumption.
Along with these changes in con-
sumption there would have to be i'm
portant gains in the productivity of
all kinds of crop lands. Such gains,
the department declares, are feasiblel
The proper selection of the 3S,O0O,00O
acres of additional land that will be
needed for crops in the next few de-
cades is one of the most important
problems confronting American agri.
culture.
There are available little more

than 600,000,000 acres of potential
crop land from which to choose the
additional 100000 acres OF crop
land estimated to be required for a
population of 150,000,O00. Allowing
for an area of forest land equal to the
present forest area, there remains
nearly 400,0O0,0O0 acres of potential
crop land. But nearly all this is OF
poor quality and requires clearing,
drainage, irrigation, fertilization, or
employment of dry-farming methods.
In the forested regions of the east
ern half of the contry it is estimated
there are at least 22O,OOO,0OO acres cap
able of use for crops without draining
or Irrigation. Much of this land, how
ever while not absolutely too rough
for use in crops is quite rolling, but
it should be possible by careful Sc.
lection to get much of the required
new crop acreage either from the
heavy land of the cut over region,
from the best of the 162,000,000 acres
of available medium-textured soils, or
from land suitable for dry farming.

See Large Population
Increase in Fifty Years
sTATIcIANs PREDICT INCREASE
or 10000, 900 WITHIN NEXT
FEW DECADES

Statisticians have estimated that
the population of the United States,
by it's natural increase alone and
without any addition from imigra
ton, will amount to 150,000,000 short
ly after 1850 Should there be any
large immigration in the next quarter
Of century, the 15O,0O0,O00 mark is
even estimated to be reached some
what earlier although the influence
of immigration on population is OBJ
scure because immigration apparent
ly retards the increase of native popu
lation, But since in any case this
country is headed for such large
population probably within the next
80 years economists in the Depart
ment of Agriculture have attempted
to estimate roughly what crop and
pasture and forest land will be requir
ed to support it.
They have calculated that if con-
sumption remains on the same per
capita basis and production per acre
is not increased, considerably more
land will be needed than is now avail
able This conclusion, however, the
department reports, need cause no
alarm because consumption habit will
undoubtedly be increased. Assuming
that some notifications will be made
sin consumption habits and produc-
ton methods, it is figured that only
about 38,000,000 acres need be added
to our present actual scrop land to
support 15O,000,0O0 persons.
That addition would suffice for dol
nestle consumption, moreover, and
still leave us half the present acreage
to devote to production for export
This country, it is asserted, is espec-
tally adapted to the production of GER
tain crops needed by the rest of the
world particularly cotton. 1t is not
likely that it will go out of the pro-
duction of these crops for export I'M
til the pressure of population on land
resources becomes much greater than
it is likely to be within the next few
decades.
1t is estimated that at least half
the acreage (including the acreage
required for work stock) now employ
ed in the production) of export goods
will continue to be devoted to that
purpose Allowing for that probable
ity, the experts OF the Department of
Agriculture figure that the total area
of land needed to sustain a pOpula-
ton of 150,0O0,00O with no greater re
lative dependence on imports than ex-
lists now would be 4O3, 100000 acres.
An addition of little more than t.
100000 year until 1866 would bring
our crop-land acreage up to that point
Some changes in consumption
would be necessary to make this area
suffice, the department says. In food
consumption it is thought the princi-
pal change would be in the use of
livestock produced consumption of
cereals and dairy products probably
would not decrease materially. A very
large decrease is reckoned on in the
consumption of forest products. How
big a cut would be required in this
respect would depend largely on the
measures taken for reforestation. Ac
cording to department experts, our
