its results it is expected to benefit

most at least degradation from rust,
the latter:in determining the actual

published statements that the importa-
| ton of flour in 1903 was three times as
large as the importation of 1901 when
the United States furnished $1,000, 900
pounds of flour for the Japanese trade.
Last year the importation of flour to
Japan reached the total of 269. OOO, 900
pounds. and -four is not yet generally
used for making bread. and but few
of the japanese vary their diet by it's
introduction and in the future develop
ment of this tendency lies the possibil-
ity of an immense market for the pro-
duct of the American mills. 1t has
average of a pound of rice day. The
country has population of 42,300.O00
and the annual consumption of rice is
therefore something like $1,000. 900. 900
pounds. If the people of the country
would vary their diet and use bread
in place Of half the rice now consumed
the amount of flour required would be
nearly thirty times as great as the I'M
precedented Importation of 1908. Here
is a great field for the farmers of the
Pacific northwest Last year the
United States furnished about 81 per
cent of the flour sent to Japan. and if
she continues to dominate this mar
ket there will be an enormous develop
ment in the flour trade in the Orient.
