THE FAMINE AN OPENING
WEDGE.

The coming famine should be the
! opening wedge. There will be a great
/ demand for cheap bread stufs. and n
| corn can be sent out az a low price e
| can be sold. A large amount could b.
given away al a profit. The cooks here
are organized into a trades union or
gnild, which stretches throughout the
empire II few Of these cooks were
taught now TO prepare the product for
the public restaurants, the food might
soon become popular. j could be also
given out through the famine kitchens
and charitable restaurants. which at
such times are often established by the
Chinese. and In this way might get q
foothold which would be permanent
So far our people have not appreclat-
cd this market. Some OF the Chinese
have tried 10 get corn and failed. II
was only last year that one OF them
according % John Fowler the United
states consul at Chefoo, sent an order
90 the United States for $1,000 bushels
OF our corn He offered 10 pay $4,000
dollars In Rold for 1t provided ~ was
delivered In ten weeks but nOtWith-
standing this. Consul Fowler could not
find an AWerican who would take the
order He cabled the offer 10 the state
department az Washington. but not no
reply Either the state department
could not find an American who cared
TO sell 10000 bushels Of corn al 81 % a
bushel or what Is more likely, % dld
not think the matter worth notice In
closing his report TO the department.
Consul Fowler said.
TT seemed no one wanted TO sell corn. /
yet this offer was for fifteen hundred |
tons, and II carried through it would |
have opened mp a market OF twenty /
nine million people who subsist on that /
article OF diet entirely
Consul Fowler says that the people
of Siontuhg know an about corn. They
I7isn "a great deal. but there was
'G'U'c OF crops last year and the pres
300 crop IL short. Chinese shelled corn

We're received an .he same time. and

lartmcnt and the agricultural de-
1ariment should certainly look into the
present situation and our American
