PRODUCTION STILL
ITS OWN
(From Montana State College)

kkr TOW LONG will it be before the
population OF the United States
IL will have increased to the point
where all of the agricultural
product produced here will be needed at
homer" This is a question which many
are guessing at but for which no one
seems to have arrived at a satisfactory
answer Economists agree that undoubt-
eddy the time is not far distant. but esti-
mates vary all the way from 10 to 100
years. Even allowing for changes in
food habits on the part of the people
1T is possible to arrive at a fairly accu-
rate estimate of the amount Of food
products required to feed the nation
when its population reaches 200 .00O. 900.
but there is no accurate way Of deter
mining how much this country can pro-
duce under the pressure Of necessity.
How much swamp land may be reclaimed.
how many arid acres brought into pro-
duction through irrigation, how much
timber land may be utilized for crops,
how much production may be increased
by the use Of improved, scientific meth
ods-these are some of the questions
which provide the difficulties when an
answer to the original question Is sought.
From the recent report of the United
States department OF agriculture on ex-
ports for 1926, 1t would appear that the
time when production and consumption
will be balanced is yet a long way Off.
The bureau OF agricultural economics of
the department has found that exports OF
agricultural products last year were high
er than at any time in the past five
years. The report follows:
Agricultural exports from the United
States during the past year bulked the
largest In five years, reaching 1876 as an
index number. compared with LOG the
preceding year and the nearest former
high of 1877 in 1929. The 1910-14 five
year period is used as q base OF 100.
The bureaus index Is based on the
gross exports OF A Of the more important
farm products. Large exports OF cotton
fiber the past year were the most i'm
portant single factor contributing to the
Increased volume Of trade. the index Of
which is placed at 131 compared with
90 the preceding year.
Exports of grains, principally wheat
and flour, were also much higher than
a year ago, the index for grain products
being placed at 1873 compared with lit
in 1926. Heavy exports OF fresh and dried
apples, prunes and raisins, brought the
fruit n vegetable index to the record
Of 285 compared with 200 the proceed
ing year.
The index figure for dairy products.
cattle and meat products touched the
lowest point since 1916. rejecting the
sharp recession In exports of bacon, hams,
lard and canned milk. The index for
cattle and meat products is SO compared
with ia in 1926, and the index for dairy
products is 288 compared with 327 the
preceding year.
