ONO CANNOT FEED ALL ENGLAND.--A paragraph
in the Buffalo Courier, copied in our columns a
short tmo ago, stated that the State of Ohio coald
raise wheat enough to feed all England. We re-
garded this statement as exaggeration, but were
hardly disposed to controvert such an assertion,
coming from the midst of great wheat growing
region, without bringing forward facts to sustain
our position. The Albany Argus has since pub
lished some statistics in relation to this matter,
which proves the Courier TO be very wide of the
truth. II appears from the Patent Office report
that the production Of wheat in the State Of Ohio in
1910, 6,57l 900 bushes in lS45 10 ,572 900.
stated by Lord Hawkcsbury, then Secretary Of
State to be 1000 900 quarters IS 900 900 bushels
aquantty three times greater than was raised in
Ohio in either Of the above named years. In 1916
the consumption estimated at Is 200, 900 quar-
ters l2 600 900 bushels, quantity greater than
the whole production Of the Union in lSa5, which
estimated at loo, 54S 900 bushels.
