Return To Sound ' Agricultural Practices Urged

(By George Kitchen) WASHINGTON, Nov. 23—(CP)— Canada and the United States joined today in telling the United Nations Food and Agriculture Or-

ganization that they think the time hns come to return to "sound" agricultural practices in

the use of North America's fertile farmlands.

The spokesmen for thr- two countries were Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner of Canada and Sinn- Icy Andrews, rnnklng United suites Agriculture Department of- flclnl. They spoke ns F.A.O.‘s fifth annuiil conference, now in 11S thlrcl dny, sturlicrl n report dcnl- lngwvlih world food production.

They noicd that both Canada and tho United States, striving to gel-d a hungry world during thc wnr mid in the pOlf-Wht‘ pcrlnd, mode "marked" departures frfm‘! their normiil agricultural practices in un effort to set every Possible additional ounce of fwd 0111 01 their soil.

Now, agricultural authorities ln both countries seem to feel there is u need for a return to sound

l lture. aglgocru Canada, Gardiner snld he does not think the conference

should "grcntly emphasize the ne-

cessity for tncrcnscd production on

the North American continent." Canada would disagree with any

"gtrong" suggestion from the con- fercnce that present practices continue.

For the United States. Andrews said his country will have to re- duce tho acreage planted to grow props such n! 5034795113 5nd pea’ nuts because the P10811111 88111151 soil erosion iii suffering.

The Canadian-American 01W nouncemcnts were considered as. significant since the two countries are among the matn food-produc- lng member states in the 58-coun- try organizations. Gardiner said Canada already ls finding it hard to market some of her farm pro-

ducts.

"I was only fastening and un- fastening the security belt for fun." Isaac told his friend, Gab- riel Brinon, today. "The others didn't have theirs fastened. When it happened, I didn't have time to become afraid."

Barron, n young Jewish student, was permitted to spend last night. and today with Isaac because they can talk together in Arabic.

Isaac said he was conscious for about five minutes after the crash. He could henr "people crying and whimpering all around me, then everything went black.‘

Finally he woke up because he was cold and hungry.

I-le couldn't move much but "I remembered I had some apples tucked away somewhere. I found them and rite them."

For 42 hours the boy lay with his face pressed against the grouznl by the seat to which he had strap- ped himself and thus saved hlni- self from being hurled across tne oabln and probably killed.

Wet through by the rain. he might. have frozen but for the inco that. Norway has had the mlldcst. November weather in years.
