IF the American wheat-grower has suf

ton of the world, the English wheat
grower has been practically ruined by it.
Twenty-Five years ago ~ per cont. of the

grown in The country. at the present
time not 20 per cent. OF 1t is grown there.
In 1904 the wheat area of England was
the smallest III a century. The present
