What made the chickens change their egg formula after all these centuries? A new feed developed by Manhattan's Drew Chemical Corp. and tested for two years by a team of Dallas doctors did the trick. Since a patent is pending, Drew is understandably closemouthed about the feed's contents. The com pany admits only that it is a vegetable, not chemical, substance. If the Utah tests prove successful, Drew hopes to sell its eggs throughout the U.S., has lined up such major suppliers as Nulaid and Olson Bros, for production and Safeway and other foodstore chains...
...prospect of overpopulation. Since the beginning of the century, the fishing yield of the world has increased tenfold, from 4,400,000 tons to 45 million tons; by 1970, the catch is expected to equal 61 million tons. More than 200 countries send fishing boats to sea to help feed their populations, and 48 of these countries account for the great bulk of the world's fish catch, amounting to more than $3 billion worth a year. There are 4,967,000 commercial fishermen at work, and in the U.S. alone well over half a million people are employed...
...staff of life for many nations, for others fish is the very stuff that life is made of. Fishing plays a vital role in the economies of dozens of nations, such as Japan, Ecuador, Peru, Canada and Norway. For many food-short nations, the "panic for protein" to feed their people leads only to the sea, which now contributes a meager 12% of the supply of animal protein consumed by the human race. Throughout the world, the fishing industry not only supports thousands of fishermen-who lead probably the roughest and most ill-paid lives of any workers-but countless...
Loving parents gloat over the baby's encouraging growth and happy gurgles as they put him to bed. He is obviously in the best of health. At the next feed ing time, they are shocked to find him dead in bed. Such "crib deaths" happen in the best-doctored countries and to the best-cared-for babies. And most can never be explained. In the U.S. alone there are 10,000 such deaths a year, and they are so baffling that 50 U.S. and British medical experts met recently at the University of Washington to try to decide what...
...Since then, Turkey has narrowed the gap to 30 years, at least in its cities. On the surface, this big, potentially rich but long-neglected land looks as if it is striding rapidly toward industrial revolution. Ten dams are rising in the abundant streams and rivers that feed the Tigris and Euphrates, those watering founts of ancient civilization. Going up on the Black Sea coast at Eregli is a $235 million, government-subsidized iron and steel complex that will be stoked by coal from nearby deposits. A consortium of Royal Dutch/Shell, British Petroleum and Mobil Oil built a $56 million...
