Uncle Sam to Feed the World.

q ONE EXCEEDINGLY interest
ing figures are comprised
~ within monograph upon
THE Provision Trade of the
United States recently issued by the
bureau of statistics at Washington.
The idea Of liberty enlghtcning the
world has been perpetuatcd in ma
jestic statue and the thought underly-
ing this monograph is that liberty, as
represented by Uncle Sans domain.
may not long hence have also the pro-
fitahlc vocation of feeding the world.
at least in part.
The mnograph shows that the Unit
ed States is now the worlds greatest
producer and exporter of meats, which
form one Of the most important fca-
lures of our export trade. In 1887 the
tota! expectation of provisions and
live animals was $lO2,774.91O, and in
1899 their total was $2O7 ,1O5, ,6S7, having
thus doubled meantime, and forming in
1899 l1.2 per cent. of the total exports
of that year.
The development of swine and cattle
raising, as traced in the monograph,
in the United States presents features
of peculiar interest. The development
within the country has consisted chief
ly in movement from the east to thr
west following the broad course of the
corn belt. The growth of our swine
raising industry has been of the ut
most importance to the farmers of the
country, since it has furnished them
an outlet otherwise difficult to obtain
for their surplus corn. The hog has
become not only Il converter but a con-
denser of values, and as such has
sought ont Eastern and European mar
kets in cases where it would have been
Improbable to transport corn.
The development of swine and cattle
raising has been also influenced by
the phenomenal growth of the packing
industry of the country. This evOlu-
tion presents features of interest from
the time when, in colonial days,
primitive packing was carried on in
New England, down to later times,
when, about 1920. the prototype of the
modern packing house was established
in Cincinnati. Adjacent to the corn
field of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky,
Cincinnati possessed the further ad-
vantage of being situated on the Ohio
river, down which her packed products
were shipped to New Orleans, to be re-
shipped to Philadelphia New York and
Boston. The westward movement of
the center Of the corn belt, however
and the successful competition of the
east bound railroads with the long,
devious and uncertain Mississippi
route, gave to Chicago in the early
sixties an immense advantage, and
achieved for that city a pre-eminence
which it has since retained. although
Kansas City ana Omaha are now rap
idly forging to the fore.
The monograph traces this develop
ment of the packing industry down ia
the present time. 1t also gives statistics
of winter and summer packing at Vari-
shipments of live animals and OF pro-
visions, as well as statistics of the
routes 10y which they are received OI
shipped and of their source or destina =
tion. The effects of tropical expansion
upon our relation to the worlds food
problem are as yet wholly cOniectural
but it needs little Imagination to in
spire the belief that they will eventu-
ally be very great.

Changing seed,

There is yet MUGS to be learned
about the matter Of increasing crops
by obtaining seed from other sections
than that where it is to be planted. At
the Iowa Experiment Station they OBJ
tanned potatoes from Canada and plant
ed them by the side of seed grown up
on their own soil, from the seventh
crop of that variety grown there. They
obtained 754 bushels per acre from the
Canada seed and 109 bushels from the
home grown seed. Yet the results are
not always that way even with pota-
toes. 1t may be said that generally
home grown potatoes do not produce as
much as seed grown farther north, but
1t is not an inyariable rule. and some
successful growers would not trust
their crop to seed which they had not
grown and saved themselves. and say
that when they have tried it home
grown seed has always produced the
best crop. The result of one expert
ment do not prove q case, and we need
more. with u thorough knowledge of
how the crop was grown, and seed Sc
lected in each case. We need to know
if forcing a crop to grow and mature
in a shorter time, either by richer soil
or cooler climate, or both, will make
the seed more prolific.
