Conservation Methods Can Double Production

Dr. Hugh H. Bennett head of the U S Soil Conservation Service says conservation methods can double food production by 1970 and increase profits for farmers. Studies on 10 000 farms show average 36 percent production gains. 68 farms visited show 40 to 300 percent gains. 1 872 farms yielded crops worth $4.90 more per acre with conservation plans. Total cost per acre for conservation plus farmer effort averaged $5.88, with boosted profits about $4.90. Conservation helps on poor land by adding minerals and fertilizers, and maintaining topsoil through careful practices.
