Decomputerizing: U S firms rethink EDP capacity
AP Business analysis notes U S companies show 20 percent excess EDP capability yet press on to expand with more gear.

Experts urge objective reviews and sometimes more EDP, but often decomputerizing yields greater efficiency and cost savings.

The 1972 U.S. farm population is 9.61 million, up 185,000 from 1971 per census data. Officials caution the rise does not alter the long-term downward trend and cite a 20 percent chance the increase stems from sampling error.
