Imported Foodstuffs

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 The changing character of the Ameri. can social fabric is in no way more clear ly indicated than by the enormous in- creases in the importations of foodstuffs The department of commerce and labor reports that during February of this year the United States imported 2,500,0 00o bushels of potatoes. this one months im- ports being twice as large as the aver age annual importations for the preced- ing 10 years. This is perhaps an unusual and exceptional instance, but it serves to call attention to condition tbat is general
 Government statistics show that the foodstuffs imported by the United States in the eight months ending with February were valued in the aggregate at 262,O0o,00O, as compared with $224,000,000 for the same period of 1911, and with only l45o00,o0) for the same period of 1902 This shows that such imports have almost doubled in value in 10 years.
 Part of this apparent increase in the American appetite for foreign foods is due to the increased cost of foodstuffs in al lthe markets of the world, but in great measure it is due to the increase of our city dwelling population and the relative decrease in the production of our farms. In the items of breadstuffs the imports have tripled in value in the 10 years.
 This means that we are no longer an agricultural nation engaged in feeding the
