Increased Harvests. Nonetheless, there is ample evidence that such a revolution is changing not only India but much of the world. In Pakistan (pop. approximately 135 million), where an ambitious birth control program-using such slogans as "Grow More Food, Breed Fewer Children"-has reduced the birth rate from 3.3% to 2.5%, self-sufficiency in food will be achieved this year.

In South Vietnam, the IR8 rice strain (TIME, June 14) has been so successful that the Viet Cong have sought to discredit it by telling...
