Future Wheat Crops.

And now Sir William Crookes of En-
gland is figuring out a future scarcity
of food. or at least of the wheat sup
ply. He says that in 1898 the wheat
crop of the United States was $4,000
600 bushels, and with less than Is, OOO,-
600 population, we We're able to export
217 100000 bushels to Europe. But by
1881 we shall have 13O, GOO, 600 people to
feed in the United States and will have
no surplus to export, and the millions
in Europe must go hungry If there is
not some other source Of supply, which
he sees no prospect of there being. We
are not worried, because we do not ex-
pect to be here in 1881, but some of our
readers of to-day probably will be, and
they will probably see much larger
surplus of wheat for export than there
is now. If no larger area is sown then
than now, we have little doubt that
better methods. Of selecting seeds, fer
tilizing the land and caring for the
crops will before that time give us q
crop which will be double the average
amount per acre grown in 1897. IL
from 540,000.0O0 bushels we could sell
217 100000, besides feeding 75,OOO,OOO
people at home and seeding our land,
from 1,OSO,O0O,000 bushels we can feed
150,OOO,000 people at home and then
have about 400,000.O0O bushels to sell.
Nor will 1t do to leave the great north
west of British America, or the broad
steppes of Russia now lately opened
up by the railroad to China, out of the
calculation. Their productive capacity
is almost incalculable, and we think no
one living now will ever see the time
when the worlds supply of wheat will
not be sufficient to feed the worlds pop
