THE WORLDS WHEAT SITUATION.

A few days ago the Times-Herald OF
Chicago. published an interesting article
by one OF its contributors. Mr.. c. NJ. Har-
ser, entitled "A Prophet vinGated."
II was an account Of the now widely
known Western wheat statistician. Mr..
c. Wood Davis Of Kansas, who for a
number Of years has maintained that
the ratio between the increase Of the
wheat-growing area and the increase Of
the bread-eating population OF the world
was such that the time must come when
the wheat supply would not be sufficient
to feed those who depend upon whea,
bread for their daily food. He claims the
statistics prove that the bread-eating pop
ulaiion of the world Increases at the
rate OF fourteen per cent in ten years.
the wheat-growing acreage increases in
the same period at the rate OF only seven
per cent, and that this must ultimately
lead to scarcity OF wheat at high prices.
This Malthusian doctrine was first pub
hshed six years ago Immediately prior
to the beginning of the great wheat-crop
years and the subsequent course Of
wheat prices made the theories Of Mr..
Davis look baseless. If not ridiculous.
At all events. his ideas were received with |
shepticism and he was treated. on the
exchanges, as all prophets are treated in |
their own country. with derision. Mr..
Partridge and the Chicago bears went on
selling wheat short on the board Of
trade notwithstanding Mr.. Davis. very
much to their own subsequent profit.
But the years Of plenty ceased. and now
we have come upon year that shows
that after all there is something in these
statistics. In an article in the Octote-
Forum entitled THE Impending Defc-
iency Of Bread stuns," Mr.. Davis returns
TO his subject and entorees his con-
clusions with am array Of figures that
are really startling. /
We cannot hers fully analyze this in
teresting paper, nor do much more than
commend it to the consideration Of our
readers Mr.. Davis shows that the bread
eating population of the world Is mainly
Of European lineage, inhabit.ng Asiat.c |,
Russia, the United States. Canada. Aus
tralia, Argentina. Brazil, Uruguay. Chile.
South Africa and Europe. In lS1 this
population numbered S7l,00,0o0, and it
now aggregates 100000, the increase
being S55 per cent in twenty-six years.
In the same period Of time the area
Of wheat production has only increased
from 25s7OO,OO0 TO 27s. 4O0,O ,O00. or rs per cent
This does not include corn, or maize.
which is very little used as a grain
food by people outside Of the United
States. 1t would undoubtedly be, how
ever II it came to starvation prices for
other bread-stuffs though Mr.. Davis does
not seem 10 take this into consideration.
His conclusion in regard TO the wheat
Of the world Is that with
acre yields 10 better than the average
Of 127 bushels Of the last 2s haryests
from contributory areas, the output would
be 275oCo.OoO bushels-or the net product
Of 100000 acres-less than presen,
needs"
The views of Mr.. Davis, coming as they
do at this time, not on the eve Of plenti-
full years, but when there is a decided
meet with different rccep-
don from what they did six years ago.

Mr.. II. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president OF

This cut in the price OF Sloo wneeis mas

opinion Ave years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring TO maintain a fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on Crescents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels.
Zone of the secrets OF the success OF the
Western Wheel Works il, that we not

purchased a Crescent in July paid the
same price as be did.

reduction in the price OF bicycles will be
made this year"

Williams. Miss Williams, by substitute

evidence that IL is well founded. Chicago
tobbers in clothing, dry goods and shoes, and

that fall business has begun, which Is much

"A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered In Indiana, has OF recent
years been attracting widespread at
tention. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs, Warren county. and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages the
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into q basin.
and has been reduced by nature into
q pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
bis spring for thousands Of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing II with mineral salts, until now
there Is q layer OF medicated mud
about two acres In extent and from
ten to twenty feet In thickness.
The strange medicinal value Of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Story, who had brought
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with II for years. He was at
tempting to dig drainage ditch
through the mud deposit, and after in
dulging in this useless experiment for
a week or more, gave up the idea, but
meanwhile had been cured of his rheu-
matism.
The fame of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the Springs
from everywhere. The method Of us
ing the mud was at first very primi-
tive, the patient merely sitting down
IN the deposit where nature had laid
1t. But since then improvements have
been made, a beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how it's done.
