Proa uctiom and C0asuHA ptiOn Of
Wheat.

One Of the most important facts now to be
ascertained, and one that could be ascertained
with much ease any other item of IN
formation gathered by the census takers, is
the quantity of wheat produced, and quantity
consumed in this country. lit is the only
way that we can determine whether we have
a surplus or not for export at any time, to
know how much we want at nome.
II would be very easy to make a calcula-
ton how much would be eaten if all had
heir fill, because we knog that a pound of

We suppose, upon the average, wheat yields
pounds of -four per bushel and that 40
ounds of -four make 60 pounds of bread;

Il certainly would be one of the easiest
things in the world TO ascertain, in any far

much wheat is used in a year, and yet we do .
not believe one in thousand can answer the .
question, and we doubt whether those who
buy their flour could give any accurate ac-
