Wheat Production, Expectation and
Consumption of the U. S.

The recent estimate that the 1911
wheat crop will be the largest ever
produced in the United States, as an
nounced by the Department of Agri-
culture, lends interest to the records
of production in, and movements in
to and out of the country of wheat
and it's products as published by the
Bureau of Statistics, Department of
Commerce and Labor. Wheat has
always been an important factor both
in the production and foreign COM
merce of the United States, and con-
|tinues to increase in importace in the
matter of production, though some
what decreasing in the quantity ex-
ported.
The wheat production in the United
States in 1870 was 236 million bu-
shells; in 1880, 1857 millions; in 1889
49O% millions dropping to 800 mil
lions in 1890 but advancing to 612 mill
lions in 1891, 522 million in 1900, and
665 million in 1910; tho even higher
records were made in 1901, 748 mil
lions bushels, and 1906, 735 millions.
Much has been said about the low
product per acre of wheat in the Uni
ted States when compared with that
in Suropean countries, and it is doubt
less true that wheat production in GER
tain countries of Europe, where great
attention is given to the care of the
land and the supply of proper soil
foods, is greater per acre than in the
United States. On the other hand,
however, it is equally true and inter-
esting that the yield per acre in the
United States is increasing, having
averaged 1873 bushels per acre in
1909, against Ia bushels per acre in
1907 and 1908, 1921 bushels in 1904,
13 bushels in 1894, and 1917 bushels
in 1885. While the production per
acre of course f1uctuates from year to
year, the average production per acre
during recent years has clearly been
higher than the average for the last
decade or two. This slight increase
in the quantity, coupled with the ma
terial advance in price, brought the
average farm value per acre for 1909
up to $15.62 per acre, against an aver
age Of about half that figure in the
e,o,,, 1o0n r., 1Onn
Meantime the quantity Of wheat re-
tanned for domestic consumption has
greatly increased while the quantity
exported has been reduced. In the
fiscal year 1910 the quantity retained
for consumption was $50 million bu-
shells, being larger than in any earli-
er year; and the quantity exported,

FIRE DEPT. TO
ELECT IN MAY
Rocks for Chief Peter kroe-
ger for End. Asst.

AS the time for holding the an
nual election OF officers of the fire
department draws near, names of
candidates cams forward. TWO have
already been announced for the posi-
tons of first and second assistant
chief and 1t lis generally believed
that Patrick Rocks, now the first as
sistant chief, will be chosen as chief
engineer of the department. Frank
G. Comings, now the second assist
ant chief, will most likely be eleva-
ted to first assistant chief without
opposition Peter Kroeger, a for
mer foreman of the Eagle Hose
Company, is the first candidate In
sight for the position of second as
sistant chief. A contest generally
arises for this office, but present In
dications are that there will be prac-
tically no contest for 1t this year.
The election is scheduled to take
place on Tuesday, March 9. From
present indications 1t would appear
that the heads OF the department for
the ensuing year will be: Patrick
Rocks, chief; Frank c. Comings,
first assistant chief; Peter Kroeger,
second assistant chief.
There have been rumors a1oat to
the effect that Chief Theodore e.
Anderson would seek a reelection.
This, Mr.. Anderson positively de-
MED today, judging 1t to be poor
policy to run against the regular
.conres of procedure. 1t seems to be
the prevailing custom to elect the
first assistant chief as chief and the
second assistant chief as the first as
sistant chief. This naturally causes
a contest for the position of second
assistant chief, which Is the first STEP
ping stone to chiefship. A rumor has
been prevalent OF late to the effect
that the Lincoln Engine Company
would put up a man to run for sec
ond assistant chief. This was de-
MED by some of the officers of the
Lincoln company today.
Peter Kroeger has been nominal
ted for that position by the Eagle
Hose Company. Comings has been
nominated for first assistant chief by
the Protection Hook and Ladder
Company, as told in the NEWS re-
Plans r under way for a pi-
nochle tournament among members
of the various fire companies. The
subject was taken up at a meeting
of the Eagles Tuesday night.
