As a matter of fact, a scientists number of are becoming increasingly concerned that the present surplus may turn into a shortage in the much-publiciz- UTAH future. The population of the United States, according to the latest conservative estimate, will increase by 27 million to 208 million in 1970, when 80 of us will be living in metropolitan areas. By the year 2,000, there will be 300 million Americans. All these people will have to be fed from the same or fewer farm acres. In addition, we will also have to produce some surplus for our friends and uncommitted neutrals overseas lest sheer hunger force them to Communism. As Dr. Robert White-Stevean American Cyanamid Company scientisst, pointed out in a speech to the nation's food editors, our current surplus, even of grain, is not as huge as many believe, .0 adventure , outdoors but t.v.s timmy and iaj5se advise yOUNG CAMPERS NEVER TO TRAVEL WITHOUT A CCMPAif, LEARN TO USE yOURS ...YOU WONT GET IQSTf ns "tlI production is only about consumption," Dr. s'v said.
