of the old view of the purpose Of

for teaching, was once regarded as the

That wheat Is taking the place Of
rice as the principal article Of food in
Japan and China Is a conclusion ar
rived at by consultation Of statistics,
and the reason Is to be found in the
development OF wheat fields hitherto
left to the growth Of grass, as in Can
ada, Australia and Russia. The more
wheat Is raised the more will be used,
the larger yield keeping the price
down, and as it Is the finest grain
