Projects now in the works promise a wild-green-yonder of even greater farm abundance-and, of course, threaten bigger surpluses. The department's scientists are breeding new, higher-yielding varieties of wheat; they are trying to devise ways of making grain crops and grasses add nitrogen to the soil instead of subtracting it; they are combatting the boll weevil and other crop-destroying insects by sterilizing male insects in laboratories, then...
