that they are necessary. The fierce

The foreign demand for Wheat
According to tn, estimates of Mr..
James Card, an excellent English
authority, England will need this
year to import at least l24, 900, 900
bushels of whf at from outside her
own borders. France has very
nearly full supply, but large
part of it was harvested in bad con.
dition and she will need to import
before another harvest some twenty
TO thirty million bushels. Germa-
ny will require at least from fly to
seventy million bushels of foreign
wheat, rye and other breadstutf-
IRE deficiency in Spain is great,
but not precisely known, nor is
the precise surplus Of Russia known,
hough the most reliable estimates
place it no higher than between
fifty and sixty million bushels. As
Russia Is the only c,untry in Eu-
rope that exports breaustuffs to any
extent, it is apparent that at SOME
price or another a large portion If
he magnificent crop Of the United
States will be wanted abroad. TAX
ing the world through, there is no
more breadstntfs than will be need
I'd to feed the population; and the
growers will realize fare prize,
though not 80 large as it was last
