lT appears that Philadelphia

Gov. Robert Pattiscn. who

has just stepped out of his

the Philadelphia Democrats
have nominated him for

Is THERE TO MUCH WHEAT

In a careful article in the
New York SIM Mr.. c. Wood
Davis shows that in fourteen
years the wheat-consuming
populations OF the world have
increased 1875 per cent. while
the increase in the world S
wheat average has been only
ST. per cent. The deficiencies
in production were supplied
by the accumulation OF great
reserves in the years when the
area was excessive, and by an
extraordinary yield per acre in
1912.
Mr.. Davis estimates that
the requirements OF the worlc
for bread and seed annually
augment to the extent OF 25,-
ooc, 600 bushels ; and he draws
the conclusion that should the
worlds harvest of any nearb,
year give acre yields no great
er than the average OF the
fourteen years in question
which has been - S bushels
below present requirements,
without reckoning the effect oi
any further annual increase ir
population. Acre yields as
low as those Of the years from
1881 to 1890 would give Z
production OF from $4,000, ooC
to SSo.ooo.ooo bushels less
than present requirements.
Climatic stability ard the law
of averages. according to Mr..
Davis. point directly to such 4
result.
The statistician has fortified
his argument with an array o.
figures that evidence a great
deal of painstaking investiga-
ton. The deductions how
ever, though logical. are based
upon data than which no class
of statistics is of more uncer-
tain reliability. Wheat pro-
ducers may derive encourage
ment for the future from this
and similar statistical presen
tations which assure them ot
eventual relief from the price
depressing effect OF stock ac-
cumulations in excess OF the
worlds immediate needs.
Owners of wheat. however,
would be more gratifed by the
Inauguration OF a price-enhan-
cling supply depletion as an
Immediate factor in the mar
kets than by a hundred pages
of statistical predictions that d
deficiency in the worlds sup
ply will become manifest III
some future year.
