so that the planting this fall was s.
100000 acres more than harvested
last summer. Spring wheat has not
been planted. In 1915 the acreage
was 10, 445, 900 acres. The average

would be singular if this did not in
crease. BUT taking the average for
hve years and adding it to the winter

ly 100000 acres, or practically the

the record crop year of 1915 was 14.9

100000 bushels of wheat. The aver
age for five years including the rec
ord crop year was 1915 bushels. This
would give us 914,O0O,OO0 bushels. A
yield equal to that of 1914 of 1876
bushels would give us 979,OO0,OOO

"a further word should be said
about the tendency of the meat sup
ply to increase. While following the
outbreak of the war, there was a con-
siderable increase in exports of meats
amounting in 1915 to 1900, 100000
pounds, the domestic production in
1915 was 3,0OO,00O,0O0 pounds great
err than in 1914, and the tendency is
still upward. Figures recently sub
mitted show that the number of cat
tie on January 4, 1917, was 1,037, 900
greater than on January'1 1915, and
that the milk cows had increased in
the same period 100000. A very
considerable development in live
stock is taking place in the South.
