Grain CrOps Of the World,

The department of agriculture has
just issued report which is of unusual
value among governme mt publications.
1t is condensed SUMMARY alton of the
production of the principal agriculture
in all the countries of the world for a
recent period of ten years, together
with showing of the imports and ex.
ports of each country in the same
products for similar period.
From the data gathered it appears
that the wheat crop of the world has
been persistently underestimated by
the aggregate have considerable pro-
duction. The average crop of the world
for ten years, 1881 to 1891, is 2 ,2S0, $780,
us bushels, of which 1873 100000 is
officially estimated by the various pro-
ducing countries. The remarkable fact
is brought out that the worlds produc-
ton of the principal cereals is in about
the same volume. the average for corn
being about 2,300,000,000 bushels, aud
of oats 1928, 170,SS5 bushels. The
United States grows about eighteen per
cent of the wheat, but in the case of
corn this proportion is eighty per cent,
and in years of plenty our own crop
nearly equals the worlds average. The
rye crop of Europe is larger than the
wheat crop, and more than one-half of
it is grown in Russia, where it is the
national bread grain. Outside of Eu.
rope this grain is grown in only two
countries, the United States and Japan,
and the production of each is about the
same. The record of wool presents
some surprising and highly gratifying
features. In net supply of wool for
manufacture the United States stands
third, following France and the United
Kingdom. The difference, however, is
small, and in few years this country
will lead in manufacture as it now does
in actual consumption. The COMPETE
ton brings out in striking manner
the high quality of the wool used in our
domestic manufactures. This coun-
try uses sixty-nine per cent of domestic
wool, figure not approached by any
other manufacturing country. Great
Britain uses but thirty-fve per cent of
domestic supply, the remainder being
drawn from countries of primitive agri-
culture, produced in hot climates and
sheared from sheep not up to the
domestic standard. The bulk of our
supply comes from our own high grade,
Merino and English breeds, and is not
to be compared with the harsh staple
that makes up much of the wool of
commerce.
In the showing of supply per head of
population of the various products,
which is also presented, the United
States demonstrates its claims to rank
as the greatest agricultural country of
the world. The supply per head of corn
alone is greater than the European sup
ply OF all cereals, but many countries
outrank us in the supply of potatoes.
In actual consumption of wheat for food
France is easily first with SIS bushels
per head, followed by Canada with 7.3;
another is Great Britain with 6 @ bush
els. The United States uses but 4.6
bushels, but this is because of the wider
dietetic range in this country
