THE STAFF OF LIFE

Even cursOry glance at the available wheat
statistics allays any fears we may have felt con.
cerning a shortage in the bread situation For
instance
The acreage seeded to wheat in the six prin-
cipNl wheat raising states Of Texas, Oklahoma.
Kansas Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois totals the
stupenduous figure of % 1853 900 acres
When we talk in millions it is really hard TO
understOndingly comprehend the immensity of il
all, so for easy reference and comparison let us
remember that the total winterwheat acreage Of
the United States-namely 40169,0 9,0O0-means a
wheat field as large as all Of England and Wales,
and 1881 900 acres over. This may be called
some wheat Also bear in mind that the winter
wheat crop acreage Of the six states above men
t'oned-namely 22l5SOOO acres-represents
wheat field large as all of Ireland and 42g 800
acres over, or as large as all of Scotland, and still
264I ,4sO acres to the good The total yield of
wheat IN Great Britain for the year 1912 was
81 4O23O2 bushels and for the year 1914 the Unit
ed States held for export after deducting for
home requirements and seeding purposes, surplus
OF 255,OOOOOO bushels, the bulk Of which has been
taken by Great Britain and her allies, but there
is still bn hand big tonnage of last years wheat
