long view its use and care di-

progress of the nation as a whole
and every family as well.
In all the total land area of
the United States is 1,905 million
acres! Of this only 15 million
acres, or approximately eight-
tenths of one per cent, are clas-
sified as urban, and it is here
where the majority of Amer-
icans live. The study defines ur-
ban as “built-up cities and

The land classified as__farm
comes to 1,142 million acres, or
60 per cent of the total. In ad-
dition,, 178 million acres of open
or nonfrestad pasture - and-250
million acres of forest land are
grazed outside farms. This adds
up to approximately 1,570 mil-

Somewhat over 400 million
