cause they can afford to pay for
a more varied diet, with the re-
suit that flour consumption has
fallen "a per cent since 1879.
The decline has been more rapid
since the war, amounting to about
per cent year from 1914 TO 1924.
Each American now uses an aver
age Of 4.3 bushels of wheat year.
as compared with 5.3S bushels in
1904 and Sc bushels in 1879.
Increased purchasing power and
continued drift of the population to
the cities are assigned by the de-

relative displacement Of bread
from It's high position in the COM
mon diet. while efficient use Of
