He urges international cooperation and resource planning as earth's population grows from 3.7 billion toward 7 billion, predicting large land needs and nutrition gaps unless global actions double food production by 1980 and quadruple by 2000.

Vietnamese Open Waters for Oil
The South Vietnamese government opened 160000 square miles off its coast for exploration by foreign oil firms. About 30 American, Japanese and European companies showed interest in oil beneath the continental shelf from the Mekong Delta to the Gulf of Thailand. Rights will be granted via open tenders with bids due in 60 days, with production likely two years away. U.S. antiwar groups used the move to question motives, while officials sought a cautious, regulated approach.

Cotton planting nears completion with rising contract interest
The 1971 Arkansas cotton crop is nearly planted with replanting from 10 to 80 percent across regions. Older cotton shows good stands while new fields emerge. Early-season insects present and some poisoning operations started. Bid prices rose from 22.50 to 27.50–28.25 cents per pound. Contract terms vary widely with cutoff dates from December 1 to 15 and many price adjustments. Spot trading remains slow with loan cotton dominating. Farmers gain $4 to $15 per bale on equity sales. Arkansas holds 25,500 bales still in loan from the 1970-71 crop.
