WHEAT CONSUMPTION GROWS.
Gradual Decline in Production OF
Staple in Past Years.

While the per capita consumption
Of wheat has steadily increased dur
ing the past 20 years, the production
cf the staple has gradually decreas-
ed, according to the annual year book
of the Department of Agriculture,
just issued. If the present ratio Of
increase in consumption and decrease
in production continues it will not be
long before the United States reaches
a point where it will consume all the
wheat it produces.
The United States has exported
surplus of wheat in every year of its
history except 1886, besides keeping
pace with the ever increasing demand
at home. During the past twenty
years, however, says the year book,
the volume Of exports has decreased
except under the artificial stimulation
of the recent war.
Nearly one-third of the farmers of
this country grow wheat. Only corn
and hay exceed the bread crop in
acres used for production and nor
mally onl y these two crops and cot
ton exceed wheat in value.
tlIy uWellerS eat more bread, per
capita, than country residents, be-
cause of the lack of gardens in cities,
the comparative cheapness of bread
and because no home cooking is nee
essary. The fact that the trend of
population is toward cities should
have much bearing on the future CON
sumption of bread, it is stated
Rafnro 1CE0
of wheat in this country
was 3.8 bushes; from 1875 to 1884
it was 40 bushels; and from 1895
to 1914, Sc bushels. The rising
trend was interrupted by the world
war, but department officials believe
1t has been resumed.
If the nation is. to increase it's
bread ration to any great extent it
must grow more wheat CT import it.

Turning Bayous Into Lakes Controls
Malaria MOSQUITO.

Control of the Anopheles mosoui.
toes, which convey malaria, in the
bayous or streams Of the Delta re-
gion of the lower Mississippi. can be-
largely accomplished by impoundine
the water in these bayous to provide
a permanent lake-like level of water
sufficiently high to suppress the
growth of the rank aquatic yegeta.
ton which furnishes conditions favor.
able for mosquito breeding, accord.
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Malaria causes serious agricuitura,
losses in this region in the reduced
efficiency of plantation hands during
the season Of the year when the crops
most need attention. The peculiarly
of these shallow bayous in which the
Anopheles, Or malaria mosquitoes,
breed abundantly is that they do not
have drainage outlets by which the
surface water can be carried off. To
meet this difficulty the Bureau of En-
tomology conceived the idea Of clear
ing section Of one of the bayous
and impounding the water to note
the effect of a change from the
swamp-like conditions of the natural
bayou, especially in connection with
the reduction of mosquito breeding.
In Department Bulletin 1898, I'M
pounding Water in a Bayou to Con.
troll Breeding of Malaria Mosquitoes,
by D. L. Van Dine, entomologist, the
story Of this successful experiment
is told. A section of Bayou Walnut,
at Measnd was cle.-sa all-
vegetation. By means Of a cross
levee or fill, and spillway, the water
was kept at a sufficient height over
the bed of the stream above the dam
to prevent the further growth Of veg
citation. A clean margin was main
tanned. It was necessary also to make
some provision to prevent crawfsh
from working through the fill and
causing serious leakage.
There were several advantages to
the plantation from the impounding
work, apart from the control of the
mosquito breeding. A permanent sup
ply of good water for live stock DUR
ing the dry season was obtained:
there was an extension of the land
available for pasture; the deeper and
more extensive water of the in1-
pounded area offered favorable
place for game fish, thus furnishing
source of food; and the lake.like
body Of water afforded recreation to
the plantation people and added to
the attractiveness and value of the
property.

NEWBERRY RESIGNS.
Brings to End Fight Which Has Made
Political History.

A big surprise in public and politi-
cal circles was created last Monday
when it was announced that Truman
H. Newberry of Michigan, whose
right to a seat in the Senate has been
a subject of long and bitter contro-
versy, submitted his resignation with
a request that it become effective i'm
mediately.
In letter to Governor Groesbeck,
Senator Newberry said he had been
compelled to retire Voluntarily be-
cause of the defeat of his Republican
colleague, Senator Townsend, in the
election of November 7. The turn
of events, he said, would make it
futile for him to attempt to con-
tinua his public service since he con-
tinually would be 'hampered by par
tisan political persecution.
Reviewing the outstanding features
of the controversy which grew out Of
his election four years ago over
Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent
he declared his right to seat in the
Senate had been fully confirmed" "
He added that if in the future there
seemed to be opportunities for pub
lie service he would not hesitate to
offer himself to his state and coun-
try.
