How the War Has Brought Supremacy to the Dom

to the populace. Great Britain has
to import three times as much wheat
as Germany to feed her populace.
Furthermore. England possesses "A
very small reserve stock and has not
the carefully planned storage organi-
cation of Germany.
So great is the British demand for
wheat that she draws supplies from
all over the world, and If her command
of the seas were negativcd for only
a few weeks she would he in a peril
u position.
1t has been absolutely essential for
her national existence that England
should have n navy powerful enough
to keep the food routes open no mat
ter what combination OF naval powers
is pitted against her.
One reason for England's alliance
with Russia Is that Russia is the
greatest wheat producer in the world.
But the United States Is England's
| principal source of supply, accounting
for one-third of her entire consump-
ton. Canada comes next, with India
third, Argentina fourth and Australia
fifth.
One Of the causes advanced for the
increased price OF wheat in England
this year Is the failure Of the last AUS
tralian crop. If Russia had had a free
passage through the Dardanelles or n
/, warm water port this deficiency would
have been made up. And ii is also
| very likely that another cause is the
activity of the German submarines.
For this reason England is depend
ing largely upon Canada for her sup
ply of wheat.

spring planted an extra l.bSs,OOo

of the mother country's needs. II

This cutor extends throughout the
entire length Of the dam and is the
bottommost key or dovetail which ties
the dam to the supporting ledge. 1t
serves a twofold purpose: 1t locks the
dam to the natural rock and prevents
h water in the reservoir from bur-
rowing beneath the barrier and under
mining Il.
this task Of blasting out the
resting place for the dam was COM
pleted, the contractors lost no time in
starting the structure. Indeed, the
speed with which this work was done
has been little short Of phenomenal.
In 1918 the placing Of masonry in the
kensico Dam outdistanced all pre-
vious records for kindred un%dertakings,
and yet last year. when the great bulk
OF the barrier was finished, still greater
speed was attained. The builders ac-
tually succeeded in laying s4.45o cubic
yards OF masonry In a single month.
h previous best record was estab-
lished in 1909 a the Olive Bridge Dam,
where $4,000 cubic yards were placed
IN a similar period. During the work.
ing season last year 4ss. 500 cubic
yards were laid at Kensico.

There are grain data OF every descrip-

Noo.
M has 81 much importance for
l civilized races as has wheat,
and In war time when a
country's food Is In danger the chief
anxiety turns on the wheat supply.
Bread is one Of the main items OF food
for the bulk OF the people and wheat
products of one kind or another enter
into the diet Of practically every white
person.
The United Kingdom is the greatest
buyer OF wheat in the world and any
serious rise in the prices OF wheat,
-four and bread means great distress
for the millions who hover nea the
poverty line. 1t might be said that
practically every household would feel
the extra expenditure.
As a result of this the efforts OF
the immense British navy In insuring
regular food supplies is very largely
| focused on guarding the conveyan ,e
Of the immense quantities Of wheat
which the British Isles require.
After the United Kingdom, her
enemy, Germany, comes next as an
important buyer OF wheat. This IL
in face of the fact that she stands
high up in the list OF countries which
produce their own wheat. This fact
emphasizes the profound change that
has taken place in Germany since
1870. by becoming a great indus
trial nation she is no longer able
entirely to feed herself and thus II
Is essential for her to draw her sup
plies from abroad.
