The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-05-08

briefly, consider this program. and
why Congress feels, from a nation
al standpoint, there is an absolute
necessity to increase agricultural
production.
Our population is currently in.
creasing at the rate of two and a
half million persons a year. Based
on cur present standard of living.
which is by far the highest in the
world, 1t is estimated that the addi-
tional population in 1875 will re-
quire the output from a hundred
and fifteen million acres more land
than is now available. Experts feel
only forty-five million acres of adj
ditional land can be made avail
able for production by that time.
If we are TO talk of tae future
OF America we must, also. think
about the future. II stands to rea-
! son, with these estimations in
mind, adequate measures should
be taken TO conserve our lands TO
prevent our country from facing a
serious food shortage in 1875.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-05-08

Mutual Security Act, this nation
has already spent in excess of a
hundred million dollars on agricul-
ture in foreign countries this year.
It, also. has in effect spent through
counterpart funds more than $50
million dollars under the Marshall
Plan. However important this may
be as a part of our foreign policy.
it should not be at the expense of
our own natural resources and well.
fare.
A further indication of how this
Department has been reduced is
evidenced by the fact that in 1910
they employed a hundred and eight
thousand people, while today. there
are only sixty-nine thousand such
employees.
A large portion of the funds ap-
propriated by Congress 60 to soil
conservation, a program that has
been bitterly criticized as a sub
sidy TO the farmer for taking care
of his land in way that he should
take care of it anyway. Let's,

riding by when Shining Rock, the
moon rocket. is girding its oxygen
and metal sides for flight nto
space.
And once the first 100 pages of
the rather boring earthly prelimi-
naries are over, and the rocket
ship shoots off with all on board
decked out in suits Stimulating di-
ver's outil,s. lie &C. i hcrd to put
down. What makes it exciting, how
ever, is the vivid picture of float
ing in space and of the well ina
gined descriptions of how it feels
to be able to hop around with
lightness now only enjoyed by birds
and ballet dancers in a grand tour
jete. The thrill is an adult version
of the water babies delight when
the chimney sweep floats around
in rivers.
Some of the threats are very vi
yid. Shall one of the boys who
falls out of the ship remain forever
twirling in space or crash alone on
the moon? Who the man in the
moon? viii he or the diminishing
oxygen defeat the whole venture,
and leave them piles of bones on
the green cheesy soil of the moon?
But the human beings in the
story have in them none of the
excitement of passion and conflict.
Fathers still get angry if they find
their sons as stowaways in the
truck of the family car. much less
in a rocket ship to the moon. And
fathers at least get ratified when a
son floats out into space with the
treat hanging over him of spinning
there eternally. Science professors
too still have human qualities about
them. The fathers and professors
