Anderson Asks
Steady Export
OfU. Food
By jones BirchfieId

Secretary Of Agriculture Anderson
predicted last night that the demand
for farm products is likely to con-
tinue strong through 1947, but
warned that Eventually we could
have farm surpluses once more un-
less we learn how to make sure that
consumers in this country will have
the food dollars to buy what they
need, and that consumers abroad
will always be able to earn dollars" /"
Mr.. Anderson, in 174-page an
nual report to President Truman,
said the sources of Americas enor-
mously increased food potential are
primarily technical. He said they
show up in steadily increasing farm
efficiency.
Quietly and gradually. yet with
prodigious cumulative effect" Mr..
Anderson said, American agricul-
ture has accomplished a technical
revolution. This revolution takes
form in increased farm mechanical
tion, in increased Use of fertilizers,
in the employment of improved crop
varieties and livestock, in the wide
spread application of scientific pest
controls and in scientific soil con-
servation.
Provided we solve the problem of
maintaining an adequate domestic
and foreign market, it (the farm
revolution will continue to provide
increased well-being."
Yields Increased by Fifth.
The Secretary said that American
farmers during the last decade have
increased production per acre by
one-fifth and production per farm
worker by one-third. Farm produc-
tion now, he said, is 36 per cent
above the 1935-1939 average.
This production increase, Mr.. An
derson emphasized, has been accom-
plished with no increase in land
