Science has enabled us to increase greatly our yields in certKinj (ircas but ;these yields have never kept pace witjh the demands on the earth. We try desperately to solve our problems by drawing more from the oartii than w© return—and the result ip that we are destroying I J | the land from which we draw our sustenance. Millions qf acres of once arble land are now desert waste because we have gutted and, mined the soil The, fbod produe-1 ing soils of the! earth are not being explained. They are not even held stationary. They are shrinking. | If all the arable acres on our small globe were equally divided among the populations lof the earth each individual would have only one acre and a half rtf ground from which to draw all of bm food and clothing. This obviously . is not enough to support any I standard of living. It is a standard of death. An acre.and a half of most Wes tern . ranch lands won’t even sup port me cow. i Famine now rules the earth. Millions are born but to die. The populations of the earth must be brought hack intq a balance with the food producting poten tial of the earth. The factors which control birth rates are complex and not completely un derstood but they must he un derstood if this mnsiit suicide is to be stopped.
