World food supply report warns training boost needed
A President's Science Advisory Committee report says lack of trained manpower could slow expanding food production to meet rising world demand. It urges governments and industry to finance training while noting American industry can aid in the effort. The Agriculture Department reports 1968 forest revenues of 173.9 million and 25 percent returned to states for schools and roads. The National Farmers Organization calls cutting federal extension service funding and shifting to helping farmers secure fair prices.

Public opposition noted by Rep. Edward McNally and AAA officials.
