...countries. Corn Products has built up an extensive world empire of 63 plants in 27 countries; Borden has 30 overseas plants, General Foods 23, Kellogg 19 and General Mills five. H. J.

But fishing ranks far, far down on the list of U.S. industries; in 30 years, meat-eating Americans have kept their consumption of fish unchanged at short of eleven pounds per person...
