Asia China has large wheat fields, but 1t
cannot supply the demand for -four
and of late it has begun to import from the
United States. We are now annually ex-
porting about 60 ,0O0, 600 pounds of flour to
China. The flour is packed in cloth sacks
of fifty pounds each, and taken across the
Pacific at cost of 81 per ton. Flour mills
like ours have been put up at Shanghai and
at several ports along the Yangtse Ktang
and they are grinding Chinese wheat
hv the roller patent process. The machin-
erv of these mills came from Milwaukee,
and Americans were sent over to show the
Ch nese how to use them.
We already send canned goods to China,
and our fruits and relishes are MAX
