Farm Population Decline Mirrors U S Population Trend
The chart shows the farm population ratio to total U S population since 1910. From 1950 to 1954 decline occurred across all ages. In 1910 farm population exceeded 32 million, over a third of the nation. Over four and a half decades farm residents fell about one third while the ratio to total population nearly halved, with more than six nonfarm persons per farmer.

New Chemicals Offer Longer Lasting Plant Protection
An entomologist at Michigan State College, H. R. Hoffman, reports promising tests on organophosphorus systemics that travel within plants to kill pests when they feed or chew. Systemics, discovered during WWII, last longer than traditional insecticides but are more dangerous to humans. Only two systemics are USDA approved: schradan for mites and thrips, and demeton for mites and aphids on cotton and fruit trees, with potatoes approved.
