timated surplus carried over from the
1913 crop was about seventy-six mil
Hon bushels making a total available
supply OF 967,000,000 bushels As the
normal annual per capita consumption
or wheat in the United States is about
O.3 bushels, 520,000,O00 should meet
our normal domestic requirements for
food; 90,000,000 bushels are required
annually for seeding. Therefore. $40
OOO,O0O bushels should supply IN
normal demand. This would leave "A
surplus OF S57 100000 bushels
"Of this surplus about two hundred
and ten million bushels were cXported
by January 80. This left $4,000 600

the department asked. There is
great surplus in other food crops in

can be used as substitutes The most
important competing products are

about per cent of the corn crop is
consumed as food. The potato pro-
