Mr.. Walter T. Griffin, United States

Mr.. Walter T. Griffin, United States
commercial agent at Limoges, France, has
been collecting data with regard to the prob
able wheat harvest in Europe. His conclu-
sions are that the yield of wheat in France
this year will be 81 per cent. less than in
1890, leaving large deficit to be supplied by
importation. Throughout Europe he thinks
the yield will be below the average. Mr..
Griffin says,
mot only France, but all Europe turns
longingly toward the wheat fields of the
United States. Last year many hoped that
South America would help supply the deficit,
especially the Argentine Republic, but today
no mention is made of those countries; all
hope is built upon our harvest. The facts, as
recently stated, are that the bread of Europe
must come from America"
