THE AUTHORS review the important role that U.S. agriculture has played in the past in providing food for other nations. They include some interesting philosophical and political observations on the effects of our distribution of surplus food. They point 'out however that we now have relatively small surpluses and cannot possibly provide the food that will be needed to prevent famine in future years. So. the home vegetable and fruit garden may become increasingly more important in the future. Food production from such hobbies may be very helpful in improving the nutritional level of our diet. Such activities will not only provide beneficial exercise, but could provide essential f°od in many parts of the world.—
