Farm Output Grows
Over 40-Year Period
Despite Labor Drop
Production Increased
so Per Cent Since 1899,
National Study Shows
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE report
OF study by the National Bureau Of
Economic Research. announced to-
day, said that American farmers had
increased production so per cent in
the last 40 years with Is per cent
less labor.
The survey encompassed the pc
riod between 1899 and 1899 and said
that, despite steady swing of labor
away from the farms to better-paid
city industries, the agriculturists
kept abreast Of the country's needs
and were prepared for the national
wartime emergency
The report, three years in prep
aration, was issued in book form
under the title, American Agricul-
ture, 1899-1939: A Study of Output.
Employment and Productivity The
authors were DR.. Harold Barger of
Columbia University and Hans H.
Landsberg. now on the staff of the
Once of Strategic Services in Wash
ington.
The authors found, they said, a
steady decline in the per capita in
take of calories and tendency to
improve diet with a greater con-
sumption of milk products, fresh
fruits and vegetables, known to SCI
ence as protective foods"
Despite this general change in
diet over the 40-year period, the
authors said, the survey suggested
that there are still serious nutri-
tional DEFICIENCIES in the diet OF a
large part of the population"
While the number of persons en-
gagged in farming reached a peak
during the first World War. nearly
two million persons left farms be-
tween 1920 and 1890
However, the authors said, pro-
duction of farm products rose sharp
ly In recent years and now stands
higher than ever before. While
agricultural production has in
creased, it has failed to increase
as rapidly as population.
Moderate growth in the output
of tobacco, wool, cotton and live
stock products was reported. while
citrus fruit was 10 times as large
in 1899 as in 1899. Twice as much
sugar and dairy products were pro-
duced in later years than were
turned out 40 years ago.

piled, I'VE just don't have the
money"
