The Wheat Problem.
The wheat question is the all
absorbing one the United States
these days and with millions of
people tits really the bread ques'
ton"
With Characteristic ability the
New York Sun has struk deeper
into the problem than any other
American newspaper and its
comments are well worth the
careful study of ell elements Of
society.
The Sun says:
Thirty years ago the worlds
wheat production was about2, 600.
100000 bushels a year. 1t now
averages about 8, 2OO, OOO, 600 bush.
els. As this increase is out Of
proportion to the increase in the
worlds population it is evident
that wheat as a food substance is
displacing otherco pre-.
viously used. Increase in produc-
ton in this country has been
little more rapid than the average
of world increase. The American
crop Of thirty years ago averaged
about 300, 900, 900 bushels, and it
now about 800, 100000.
The variation of conditions
year to year makes impossible
any exact statement, but the fig.
ures of the last five years show a
large decline in the percentage of
American wheat exported. From
1880 to 1889 about 80 per cent of
the total crop was exported, and
from 1890 to 1899 about SO per
cent. The average of the last
years has been about one-half
that of the preceding twenty-five
years. While the maximum of
possible acreage, if it is at all ex.
tended, will increase as rapidly
as it did in earlier years when
new railways were opening new
areas to settlement and cultiva-
ton. In fact the largest acreage
in the record was that of 1901,
when 40, S95, 514 acres were plant
ed. The year of 1903 followed
with 49, 464, 967 acres. The figures
for 1907 drop to As, 2l1,O 900. Its
conceivable, though little proba-
BILE. that another ten years may
see 6O,OO,o0O acres in wheat,
The greater probability is that
the increase in acreage will not
keep pace with the increase in
domestic demand and that the
predictions of some observers re-
garding the diminuition of wheat
exports will be justified.
This possible approach to the
maximum of wheat acreage is
not at all the equivalent of APP
proach to the maximum of
wheat prodution. The aver
age wheat yield for the last
twenty years has been thirteen
and a half bushels to the acre.
In Great Britain the average
yield is about thirty bushels
to the acre. Here is the weak
spot in our national wheat bust
ness. The acre value of the
American output for the last ten
years shows an average of about
$1O.4O. AS land increases in
value it becomes impossible to
raise wheat at a profit on any
such basis. The state of New
York produced more wheat in

RAILROAD MAPS FILED
AT COUNTY SEAT

The Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound Wednesday morning filed in the
United States land Office in kalspell a
map of definite location for their pro-
posed road up the North Fork. covering
7.43 miles of additional line, says the
Inter Lake. 1t is all Oh unsurveyed
territory, within the limits of the Flat
head forest reserve, and begins at the
northern terminus of the line shown on
the map filed some time ago for ten miles
of the road running from the vicinity of
Coram north. The two maps cover a
distance of II. 43 miles.
In addition to the map mentioned both
the Milwaukee and the Great Northern
have filed deeds for additional right-of-
way in the office of the county clerk.
The work of actual surveying in the
field proceeds slowly on account of the
deep snow, and the difficulty of getting
supplies to the camps along the river.
There are enough men at work along
that short stretch from Coram to the
boundary to survey line across the en-
tire state under ordinary conditions.
