PLENTY FOOD TO EAT.
FOR NEXT FORTY YEARS

There will be enough to eat dur
ing the next forty years at least if
the conclusion of Prof. M. A.
Carleton, of hte United States de-
partment of agriculture, are j.. IT,
fec. Of the l,9OO.947.2OO acres
constituting the total land area of
the United States, the farms
occupied 1913, 591, TIA acres in 1900,
and should exceed 1900. 900, 900
acres in 1850, when the improved
farm area should be 100000, 900
acres The area in wheat-which
has averaged 5.2per cent for several
decades--should be 6 per cent by
1850, or total of about 8O,00O,.
600 acres. At 20 bushels per
acre, 6 bushels being allowed as
the increase in yield, this area
would produce 100000, 900
bushels of wheat. One prediction
is that the United States will have
a population of 2O0,COO,OOO in
1850, and if this should be realiz. d
and the per capita consumption of
wheat increase from the present 6
bushels to 8 bushels, them the
country can just supply it's own
wheat. 1t is extremely improba-
BILE, however, that neither popula-
tion or consumption will reach the
high point named. To the 9OO,-
600, 600 bushels estimated as the
increase in the United States yield
may be added 100000, 900 as the
probable increase in production of
Canada the "black earth" srea of
eastern Europe and Siberia, and
Argentina, making a total increase
Of 2,4O0,000,O00 bushels in the
chief exporting countries.
Reasons are found for placing the
worlds demand for wheat at s.
500, 100000 bushels in 1850, an in
crease of 2,0O0,O0C,OOO bushels
over the present 80 that an ample
supply is probable.

WOULD HAVE new COIN

The coinage of two and one
half cent piece by the United States
Government is urged in statement
given out in New York by William
r. Short, a New York banker, who
declares that the use of such a coin
would mean saving of $39, 0OO,-
600 yearly to consumers.
"The absence of such coinage, "
he says, "has re ute the
universal custom of the sellers
taking the half cent whenever a
transaction does not result in even
money. l suppose it would be a
safe estimate to say that each
family loses the half cent on an
average of ten times a week,
resulting in their paying $3.50 a
year above the price of article
purchased. With about 10000
600, million families in the
United States, exclusive of the
merchants, and figuring on the
basis mentioned, they are losers
yearly from this cause in the ap-
proximate sum of 500, 900. OOO."
