which the central powers and Turkey
would have obtained if Rumanian neu-
trality had continued and the Ru-
manian wheat growers had been able
to dispose of their product.
It is not likely that much of the Wheat
and other agricultural products captured
by the troops of Won Mackensen and Won
Falkenhayn will be available for the
civilian population of Germany. II doubt
less will be used for the invading armies.
but il will leave larger quantity % the
wheat raised in Austria and Germany
available for civilian consumption
Tne completeness and the duration OF
the German military occupation OF Ru-
mania are of course. purely conjectural.
but so far as military probabilities can
be forecasted Germany is likely to have
control of the whole wheat area of Ru-
mania for next seasons crop. The crop is
harvested in July. and with the uncer-
tainties as to planting and the subsequent
uncertainties to drought and other
influences it is scarcely worth while
to undertake to guess what the
total will be. Yet 1t is certain Germany
will not be shut off from the Rumanian
wheat fields as means of feeding her
people next year.
If the intervening months should bring
an arrnistice she would be pretty sure to
insist on her present military advantage
in SO far as it gives her control of the
bulk of Rumania's agricultural products.
Should peace actually come Rumania
would want by every possible means to
stimulate her agricultural production as
one means of recoupng herself for the
costs of her participation in the war.

1t is possible that in tracing these

consumers'
by regulating distribution It tends
TO prevent wide fluctuations in retail
prices" Mr.. Brand replied. Formerly.
there was no Systematic method OF no
tifying potato growers, for instance.
that the Buffalo market was oversup-
piled. but that potatoes were scarce in
Philadelphia.
1T frequently happened. therefore.
that apples, peaches onions, strawber-
ries lettuce or cabbage might be rot
ting in cars and warehouses in one
city and at the same time might be in
brisk demand and dear somewhere else.
To supply every ma"ket in the country
adequately with the food it requires is
an economically sound project and is
beneficial alike to producers and CON
sumers.
cit has become my business to learn
how the millions Of people living In
cities and large towns are provided
with fruits and vegetables. Some of
the smaller cities. Of course. live most
~ on the country that surrounds them.
The larger cities, however must pro-
cure their principal stocks OF provi-
sions from distance.
Long trains of food are constantly
moving over the railroads. There are
many thousands of trains every day.
Up to the last week in September 1904
carloads of apples had been sent to
market. Apples grown In Oregon and

with applies from Virginia. the Potomac
