therefore the increase of staple farm,
products beyond the home demand for
them. Whether certain prosperity
awaits tho farmer as soon as the country
will consume all that he can produce is
not question to be discussed here, but
the figures which indicate that we shall
be compelled to import wheat before the
end of the century are interesting.
It is possible that Mr.. Davis under.
rates the productive capacity of our total
farm acre, but after making due allow
ance for this we are prepared to believe
that his prophecy is worth considering.
Our people have acquired habit Of
boasting of the country's ability to feed
the world and Of our exhaustless wealth
in general But natural resources are
not infinite. A few years ago we were
talking of our exhaustless wealth of
timber, but our forests of the continent
are no longer spoken Of as boundless;
dealers in hard wood know that the sup
ply of walnut and ash will not endure
forever, and there is a growing belief
that the long leaved pine is doomed In
like manner we may soon discover that
good land can no longer be had for the
asking. and that every acre that can prof
itably be titled. even with the help of
irrigation, has been brought under the
