Report On The Agricultural Experiment Stations 1950 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Report on the Agricultural Experiment Stations, 1954 Scientific research at the State agricultural experiment stations and those in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico contributes daily to the abundance of American life. That there is an abundance of food is reflected in the increase per capita food consumption of the Nation, even in the face of a 22 percent increase in population since 1940. Farm produc tion of food and fiber has increased by 44 percent, however, since that time, resulting in an ample supply of food and feeds, and even in some cases in a surplus. This record rate of farm production, which now appears to be the rule and not the exception, may be attributed in large measure to the increased efficiency arising from better management practices derived from the agricultural research program.
