Minnesota, the average is ~, while in
the south, where corn is much used,
the average is bushels. OF our total
crop, about 80 millions would be
used for food, the remainder for other
purposes. The remainder could be
used for foods and substitutes used
for animals. The potato production
in the United States averages 3.S
bushels per capita. This year the
available supply is Al bushels. The
average price of meat animals was
I per cent cheaper in January than a

the price of chickens slightly lower,
Of potatoes 80 per cent lower; apd
of apples 81 per cent lower.

normal domestic demand. This would
leave a surplus of 357,000000 bushels.
OF this surplus about 210,000,OOO

permit the export of nearly 100000
bushels day until July l, before
which time the new crop will be-
gin to be available. This is about
the average recent expectation.
The large demand for our wheat
arises from the fact that there was
an estimated worlds shortage of over
400,000,0O0 bushels outside OF the
United States; from the fact that
the Russian eXpOrtable surplus of
100000 busehs more than our average
