FARM PRODUCTIVITY
MUST INCREASE 50%
IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS
A look ahead at the next
10 years points the way to
continued rapid growth in
farm size and productivity.
4 The population of the
United States will increase
by more than 32 million.
And we will be selling much
more abroad, too. The com
bination of more volume
¥ and better demand could
mean 50% more in farm
sales for farmers.
Each additional million
people require another 172,-
000 beef cattle, 25,417 dairy
cows, 433,000 hogs, and 1,-
300,000 hens, at today’s con
sumption rates. A popula
tion growth of 2% million
people per year will call for
steady expansion of livestock
numbers if we are to sustain
our present level of nutri
tion.
The farm of 1976 prob
ably will depend on comput
er data for its management.
The computer will keep farm
records and will help the
farmer figure out the best
enterprises for his farm.
Out in the field, most
tractors will be above 100
h.p. Fertilizer use doubled
in the last 8 years and is ex
"~ pected to double again.
There will be more large
factory farms—but the bulk
of the production will come
from the large two-man
family farm. This is the
farm that will handle 100
or more dairy cows. It will
turn out 1,500 to 2,000 hogs
plus the feed for them.
Farm beef feeding enter
prises will likely be in the
1,000 head range. Weather

i
Citizens
Babette and Richard Ray
Frith, ages 5 and 2%, had
their United States citizen
ship confirmed on Tuesday,
January 21, through admin
istrative action of the Immi
gration Service.
Babette and Richard Frith
were born at Wurzburg U. S.
Army hospital, while their
father, Capt. John Richard
Frith, was on duty in Ger
many. They are, therefore,
dual citizens of the United
States and Germany, free to
choose between the two
countries when they come of
age. Capt. and Mrs. Frith
wanted documentary proof
of the United States citizen
ship of their children from
the date of their birth.
Capt. Frith, who is now
stationed at Da Nang, Viet
Nam, was born in Decatur,
and Mrs. Frith, who lives at
Atlanta Armm Depot with
the children, was born in
Mississippi.
Col. and Mrs. Gilbert R.
Frith, of Decatur, are grand
parents of the two children.
Mrs. Gilbert Frith is a
member of Baron DeKalb
Chapter of the Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Representatives of her chap
ter were present at the cer
tification and presented
United States flags to Bab
ette and Richard, in keeping
with the chapter’s custom of
presenting flags to new citi
zens at the regular naturali
zation court.

ning, under the baton of the
Director of the Clinic, Mr.
Joseph M. Kirschner, in
strumental music supervisor

was a tremendous success, a
evidenced by the attention
of the parents who attended
and the comments over
heard from the Band Direc
tors of the individual schools
represented.
The purpose of the clinic
band is to give the better
band students in the District
the opportunity to play and
perform together in a large,
well balanced band under
the direction of an out
standing director. Students
are selected for the band by
competitive tryouts to de
termine their high degree of
musical achievement. The
G. P. Babb Band was well
represented by having the
following 15 students in the
Clinic Band: Martha Howell,
Clarinet; Annette Russell,
Clarinet; Ricky Peel, Oboe;
Laurel Wyckoff, Flute; De
nese Herbig, Bassoon; Gerry
Petty, Baritone Horn; Lee
Bridges, Tuba; Debbie Hesse,
Bass Clarinet; David Rigby,
Bass Clarinet; Ken Griffeth,
Alto Saxophone; Billy Pow
ers, French Horn; Donnie
Britt, Cornet; Larry Gilles
pie, Cornet; and Dana Grist,
Trombone.
