...four pilot buildings were chosen because the study showed they produce large amounts of garbage and have a high concentration of paper in their trash output, Merrill said...
...lift by putting idle cropland back into use. During the past dozen years, an average of 60 million acres of farm land, out of a total of 330 million, has been kept fallow by the operations of the price-support program. Roughly 40 million acres were released for output in time for this year's planting season. Last month President Nixon signed into law a new policy that eliminates acreage controls altogether and permits a farmer to sell his crop for whatever the market will bring; if his price falls below specified target levels, the Government will send...

That attitude may seem totally irrational, given the almost hysterical state of current markets, but in fact farmers have some reason for regarding the present deluge of world demand as an abnormality that will soon pass. It has been caused by an extraordinary combination of temporary factors: bad weather round the world; crop failures in Africa, Asia and the Soviet Union; a decline in the catch...
...allaying fears of foreign buyers, who are now likely to scale down immediate orders in the belief that supplies probably will be available later. Other nations are increasing their harvests this year. Canada's wheat crop, for instance, should weigh in at close to a record.

The problem is most severe in developing countries, where birth rates are highest, food supplies scantiest and famine as close as the next crop failure. Last year, according to the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization, farm output in 42 developing nations actually dropped by 1%. As a result, some of these countries now face outright starvation. Until the developing world can learn to tap its own fast-growing potential-and curb its runaway population growth -demand on farmers in the U.S. and other big food-growing countries will remain...
