FOOD IN 2024 Not very many years ago men ate meat and bread principally, with a few vegetables. Nowadays we have a large variety and great quantity of foodstuffs. We even take some of our edibles and drinkables from coal and other minerals. Col. William Boyce Thompson has founded an Institute of Plant Research whose experts will try to counteract the food shortage which is predicted for 2024. Many scientists believe that the human family will be at the point of starvation in or near that year. --The Post-Crescent, 4 October 1924
