huge rattlcsnnkc killed at their place
Monday night. which was found

dangerous reptiles known 10 the peo-
pie of this section. The monster
measured five feet and ten inches
in length, and had nineteen rattles
II is believed that II anyone had
been bitten by Il instant death would
have resulted, In that Il was Of such
size and strength that the fangs
would have penetrated deep in the
flesh, making the well known ante
dotes for snake-bites ineffective.
Three more rattle snakes were
killed near the place Tuesday morn
ing, and il is believed that den Of
them is located thereabouts and
much effort is being made to dis
cover IL.

however, the yearbook states, the vol
ume of exports has decreased except
under the artificial stimulation of
the recent war.
Because Of improvements in milling
processes which make bread more at
tractive, increasing prosperity, and
the increasing proportion of the popu-
]ation in the cities. the per capita con-
sumption of wheat has increased in
the United States for the past eighty
years.
City Consumption Higher.
City dwellers 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 nec-
essary. The fact that the trend of
population is toward cities should
have much bearing on the future con-
sumption of bread. 1t is stated.
Before 1850 the per capita consump-
ton of wheat in this country was 3.S
bushels; from 1875 to 1884 it was 4.9
bushels; and from 1895 to 1914, Sc
bushels The rising trend was inter-
rupted by the world war, but depart
ment officials believe it has been re-
sumed.
If the nation is to increase its bread
ration to any great extent 1t must
grow more wheat or import it, the
department says.

AMERICANS FACE
WHEAT SHORTAGE
Per Capita Yield Drops as In.
dividuaI Consumption
=,
Shows Increase.

An outstanding fact facing the
American wheat farmer, says the
annual yearbook Of the Department
OF Agriculture, Is that while the per
capita consumption of wheat in this
country has steadily increased, there
has been a gradual decrease in per
capita production. This tendency prob
ably will continue, 1t is added, at least
until the United States reaches the point
where 1t consumes practically all of
the wheat it produces.
The economic situation Of the wheat
crop. production and marketing, from
seeding to international trade, is pre-
sented in the yearbook. The discus
sion Is the result of combined research
and study by a number of the nations
leading agronomists and agricultural
economists connected with the de-
partment.
Corn and Hay Exceed Wheat.
It is shown that nearly a third of
the farmers in the United States grow
wheat. Only corn and hay exceed
this bread crop in acreage occupied
and normally only these two crops
and cotton exceed wheat in value The
wheat crop as whole has much to
DO with the prosperity Of the nation,
says the yearbook, because the grain
&bsers into foreign trade to a greater
tSsent than any other crop except
{ Sston.
The country has exported a surplus
OF wheat IN every year of it's history
