Britain's Long -Term
Agricultural Policy
The net output of British agri-
culture increased by about 3S
per cent during the war. Inten-
aive mechanization made British
agriculture among the most highly
mechanized in the world, with
190,000 tractors compared with the
pre-war count of 60,000. Output
per man-year rose by 10-15 per
gent. The problem now is to ad-
just the industry to post-war
needs, while retaining the wartime
gains in efficiency and develop-
ing them still further.
The Government's policy, both
to save foreign exchange and for
good farming, is to switch pro-
duction, as rapidly as the cereals
position permits, from the produc-
tion of crops - for direct human
consumption to the production of
live stock and live stock products,
especially pigs and poultry, The
import of $1,000 worth of feed-
ingstuffs will save nearly $2,000
worth of imports of Iivestock
products.
Though the world cereal short-
age has delayed this policy, it still
remains the long-term solution,
and as additional feedingstuffs
become available, they will be
used to increase pig and poultry
breeding stock.

"They'd have to cut an acre of
wheat and malted barley to get
enough of those golden grains for
a couple of mouthfuls of Post's

"Anal they'd have to pack 'em
loose in box ears instead .of those
