AMERICA LOSES
APPET|TEFOR
WHEAT
Ohio Economists Say Surplus
Is Partly Due to Lessened
Use Here
International News Service.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. June IL
Hundreds OF Americans, though
they may not be aware Of 1t, have
lost their appetitea for wheat.
Hundreds of others are eating
much less wheat and products Of
this cereal than they did before
the world war.
And thus do rural economists at
Ohio State University here account,
in part. for the huge wheat surplus
which is taxing the capacity Of the
country's granarieS and the
patience of no small number Of
farmers in the great wheat belt.
Figures compiled by the Govern.
ment disclose that. during the
three years from 1920 to 1929, each
person In the United States con.
Sumed an average Of 4.22 bushels Of
wheat annually. But In pre.war
times. from 1909 to 1918, each per-
son consumed an average OF sos
bushels a year.
Thus it follows that, through the
changing American appetite, ap.
proximately 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat less than were consumed be.
fore the great conflict meet the
present demand. The current sur.
plus IS said to be in the neighbor-
hood OF 200. 600, 900 bushels.
This studenpodus decrease in
wheat consumption, generally over.
looked, had much to do with Great.
ing the surplus, Ohio State econo.
mists believe.
II our pre-war appetite for wheat
products should return" c. r. Ar.
mold, an Ohio State economist,
points out, I'VE would consume
annually about 100000 bushels
OF wheat more than we do now.
Inat would reduce materially the
zoV,O0O' OOO'bushel surplus over do
mestic consumption"
The university economists do not
attempt to definitely place the re.
Spons1bility for the great wheat sur
Plus, although they admit tbs in.
PRODUCTION Of wheat substitutes and
wneatless days" during the war
probably had much to do with the
decline in the use of the cereal after
the war.
With dairy products, however, the
reserve has been true. According
to the university economists, the
per capita consumption of dairy
products during 1919 averaged the
equivalent Of 831 pounds Of whole
milk. In 1920, they say, it rose
to BAL pounds; in 1921 to 923 pounds
ana in 1922 to $50 pounds.
hence, while the average Ameri.
can was turning away from wheat,
ne was increasing the demand for
oairy products more than IA per
cent during the last four years.

IndiSpoSiti0n Not Serious,

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today Cancelled all his
enga gements and remained in his
rooms in the White House suffering
from cold.
c. Bascom Slemp, the President
secretary. said the indisposition was
not serious and that Mrs. Coolidge
expected to attend the horse show
here this afternoon.
Slemp said the President was
Just lounging around the house.
Mr.. Coolidge is believed to have
caught the cold at the White House
garden party Thursday when he
stood in the damp, chilly air on the
White House lawn without hat,
greeting two thousand guests who
attended.
Brig. Gen Charles f. Sawyer,
White House physician, was very
uncommunicative after his visit
with the President, refusing to say
whether Mr.. Coolidge has any fever.
"All I can say is that the Presi-
dent is indisposed with a cold and
it is deemed advisable that he re-
main in his room and keep quiet un-
til he can return to his duties with
out liability" he said.
