1913 Crop Goals Trimmed
To 353,S82,OOO Acres
BY the Asseeiotsd Press


Fears of farmers that their soil
is being worked to hard have led
the Agriculture Department to trim
1948 crop goals slightly.
Final goals announced yesterday
for most crops call for 353, 1892 ,ooo
acres Of food, fiber and livestock
feed crops. Last November the
department suggested about 1885,
100000 acres.
The revised goals for this year,
however, still remain above the
BAG, ,469, 900 acres planted to the same
crops last year. -
Most of the reduction from previ-
Gus department recommendations
were In corn, grain sorghums and
soybeans-au regarded as crops that
take lot of fertility out of soil.
The 1948 corn goal was set at
80, 100000 acres. The department
had earlier suggested 92,120,0O0.
Livestock goals remained virtually
unchanged. The goal for sows to
farrow for the spring crop was in
creased from 1850 to 1884, 900

u. S. Population to Reach Peak
In Year 1000, Report Predicts

The rate OF the Nations popula-
ton increase will slow down grad
ually until the end Of the 20th
century and then will be replaced
by a shrinkage trend, it Is predicted
in a report made public today by
the Census Bureau.
The belief the population of the
United States will cease to grow
after the year 1000 Is based on an
appraisal of the probably future
behaviour Of q group Of variables, 1t
Is emphasized. The prediction
would not hold II any one Of these
began q new trend.
The table-flled paper examines,
among other aspects Of life, the
marriage prospects of spinsters,
demand for engagement rings and
promotion opportunities for young
employees.
166,000, 900 by 1875 Forecast.
A median forecast sees q popula-
ton of about 166, 100000 by 1875,
assuming a net immigration rate OF
100000 persons a year. Assuming
no net immigration, this figure
would be $4,000 900, it is predicted,
and another 100000 would be ad-
ded by 1000.
The same set of assumptions, in
cluding medium fertility and medi-
um mortality, would show an In
crease in the proportion Of nom
white population with the white
population reaching a peak of nearly
IA, ,0o0, 900 In 1885 and declining to
about 141 100000 by 1900, the re-
port adds.
1t was prepared by P. K. Whelp-
ton, associate director of the Scripps

lation Problems at Miami University,

Birth Subsidy May Be Desirable.
The opinions expressed In the
report do not represent, necessarily.
the official thought OF the bureau,
1t is stated.
A declining birth rate probably
will increase popular interest In
plans developed by Canada, Sweden
and other nations to counteract
this, it is suggested. On this de-
velopment, the report comments:
"If fertility rates become 50 low
and families 80 small that popula-
ton growth will dwindle rapidly
and q decrease begin in q relatively
few years, the consequences will be
serious to the Nation and its people.
Under such conditions, support
should be rallied to program de-
signed to raise the fertility rates
and enlarge families.
Young People to Decrease.
ION the other hand, If fertility
rates and children per family con-
tinue to be adequate to prevent
population growth from slowing up
too rapidly, the strongest prenatal
program needed from an economic
standpoint would be one designed
to check further declines in fertility
and family size in the immediate
future and, later, to bring them up
to the replacement level If they
are below it,"

the European situation separately,

fore, its members were ready to

A week ago it looked as though it
would be April 10 before any for
eign aid bill would pass the House.
Today, however, some influential
House members were hoping their
committee would act with enough
speed to have a bill passed before
Easter Sunday-March %.
The tense situation in Italy,
where the Communists are making a
drive to win the April IS elections,
may induce House members to act
speedily.
Representative Vorys, Republican,
of Ohio, announced today he will
ask the House committee to consider
an amendment designed to encour-
age the 16 cooperating countries to
form a European union. Mr.. Vorys
is a high ranking member Of the

His amendment would set aside
half the local currency in each

of a European union fund, up to a
limit of $4,000, 100000. Whenever
