Now, the trolley men have come TO

WHEAT.
1ts Percentage of Farm Area and It's
Yield 10 the Acre.

GTrom the American Hay, Flour and
Feed Jou"1alD
The percentage Of total farm area en-
poyed for wheat has been as follows
In 1870 4.5 per cent in 1850 almost G per
cent. in 1895 practically the same as in
1850, and In 1900 per cAt. At present II
is approximately al per cent. The aver
age proportion to date has been. there
fore, SO per cent This percentage OF the
future possible farm area would be over
CO, Qf0.6N0 acres, or 22,000,op0 acres more
than the acroa ge of 1909. That is the
amount of future wheat acreage that is
entirely possible, simply on the basis Of
an increase In farm aren up to $50, O0O, 900
acres.
There is hardly n doubt, however. that
the percentage OF farm land devoted to
wheat will itself increase. Previously
there was period when the proportion
was almost per cent, but 1t was follow
ed by period Of great wheat depres-
sion in the gos Then, even after the
revival In wheat acreage. the proportion
or farm area thus employed continued
decreasing because of the tremendous
increase IN the number of farms toward
the end OF the century. Already the per-
cchtake IS again Increasing from nearly
40 per cent. In 1919 to As per cent. in 1910.
Long before l95l the proportion should
easily reach & per cent. again, both be-
cans" OF probable wheat expansion due
10 ln'rfa"o In prices and because the
farin area viii hereafter increase less
rapidly. Much of the increase In wheat
acreage will occur in the older States,
this hcing now true for the year 1910. We
have for the first time reached the Co.
Woooo mark the acreage this year being
5o,5oeGO acres. In 1850. at the rate OF d
per cent. on n farm area of l.SSo'UnUU
acres, our wheat acreage should be about
SO, 10000 acres.
An estimation OF the possible wheat
acreage by 1850 may be calculated In an
other way. The percentage or the total
land area In wheat has Increased each
ten years on an average over q per cent;
to be accurate "a per cent This per-
cen,age FOR the period 10000 Is now
known to he 25 per cent II we add TO
this the same rate OF increase for each
future ten years from 1910 to 1870 the
percentage will reach 3's6 per cent. 1t Is
