prove that widespread famine was
Imminent. At that time the worlds
wheat acreage was about 1853 600 ,00g
acres and the annual production
amounted to about 100000 900
bushels. He asserted that the,

ments would call for 100000, 600
bushels OF wheat annually. To pro-
duce this quantity OF wheat from
the acreage available would call for
the addition to the soil OF 10000
tons OF nitrate annually. He be-
lieved that this quantity1of nitrate
could not possibly be obtained. hence
the conclusion was inevitable that
widespread famine was certain In the
not distant future for the human race.
