Modern production could feed ten
times as many people as there are on
earth. The State Of Texas. intensively
cultivated, would feed the earth's popu-
lation. clothe and house them, and that
entire population. by the way, could
stand at one time on Staten Island,
in New York Harbor. The flying ma
chine taking men from their work to
the distant hilltop residences, will
soon settle the crowding problem.
Once men hunted only gigantic AMI.

boom times. If all our people had all
they want Of everything the ten per
cent exports would soon be absorbed.
