MORRIS BUICK TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Only 15 years ago, there was a severe shortage of foodstuffs in Israel. Now the situation is different. In 1959 17.6 per cent of the work force was engaged in agriculture as compared with 11.4 per cent in 1968. It is envisaged by experts that in the next five years Israel will double its agricultural production. Even now ample agricultural products are available to feed many millions of consumers. eaor r er*, 11... • 81.
