Russian Wheat Production.

An enormous crop of wheat has been
grown IN Russia this year, placing that
land for the first time at the head Of
Wheat-groWing countries. It's harvest of
100000 bushels exceeds that Of the
United States by 100000 bushels, and Is
greater than its own previous record by
about 100000 bushels. The development
of wheat growing has been most rapid
along the line Of the Trans-Siberlan Rail-
way. AS the home consumption is small
in proportion 10 population, this has made
Russia one OF the great sources Of supply
for the rest OF the world France con-
sumes much Of the wheat that it grows.
The present price Of wheat In the United
States, when placed against the surplus
product Of Russia, makes It more difficult
for this country to hold It's place as an
exporter Of that cereal.
