WHEAT CROP FUTURE

One Of the outstanding facts facing
the American wheat grower is that
while population and per capita con-
sumption of wheat in the United
States have steadily !, Increased,
there has been gradual decrease
in per capita production according
10 the United States department
of agricultural. Wheat is world COM
modify and the interplay of eco
nomic forces both of national and in.
ternational character must be care
fully considered to forecast the fu-
ture.
The economic situation Of the
wheat crop, productionI and mark
citing, from seeding to international
trade, is presented in the 1921 Year
book Of the department. This dis
cussion is the result Of combined re-
search and study by number of
the national leading agronomists
and agricultural economists con-
nected with the department. It is
illustrated with numerous maps and
charts so that it is clear to those
without special training in agri-
cultural economics.
Among the significant facts pre-
sented it is shown that nearly
third Of the farmers in the United
States now grow wheat. In some
areas fore than 80 per cent of far
mers are engaged in wheat growing
Only corn and hay exceed this
bread crop in acreage occupied land
normally only these two crops and
cotton exceed wheat in value. Ir
leading wheat areas whatever af,
fects yields, cost Of production OF
the price, not only affects the vel
fare Of all the farmers who grow the
the crop,but the whole community
Similarly the wheat crop as whole
has much to do with the prosperity
of the nation, because the grain en-,
ters into foreign trade to a greater
extent than any other crop except
cotton.
This country has exported surplus
in every year of its history since
colonial times with the exception Of
1886, besides keeping pace with ar
ever-increasing demand at home. Dur.
ing the past 20 years, howeverthe
volume of exports has been decreas.
ing, except under the artificial stim-
ulation Of the recent war period.
Wheat production has been increas.
ing less rapidly than population, and
this tendency will probably continue,
at least until we reach the point
where we consume practically all we
produce.
