Vast Improvement
In Americans DIET
Since 1910 Noted
Big Gain Reported in
Production of Food Of
High Vitomin Content
BY OLIVER MCKEE.

AS evidenced by the increase in
the production and processing OF
agricultural products rich in vita
min content, the diet of the Ameri-
can people has greatly improved
during the past 80 years, the Census
Bureau reported yesterday. While
the population of the United States
was increasing 1872 per cent from
1910 to 1910, production of most of
the high vitamin food items showed
gains ranging from % to more than
$500 per cent.
To obtain balanced picture of
the changes in the eating habits of
the American people. Census experts
checked the records of the bureau
for many years, giving particular
attention to the production of high
vitamin foods on farms and their
processing by manufacturers They
also checked vital statistics records
to determine the extent and trend
of deaths from undernutrition.
This survey, the results of which
were disclosed yesterday, was initial
ed just before the meeting of the
National Nutrition Conference here
last month Though not taking
issue with the statement of Secre-

The 1889 figure does not include
nearly 429, 900 900 pounds of butter
churned on farms. Cheese output
also showed almost as great a pro-
portionate gain. Production Of
canned vegetables more than
doubled.
There are four causes Of death
commonly associated with under
nutrition-scurvy, beriberi, ricketts,
and pellagra. In 1889 these four
diseases caused 2419 out of nearly
400 900 deaths. In 1880 they were
responsible for $3.50 deaths.
The actual decrease was greater
than would be indicated by these
comparative figures, the Census Bu-
reau pointed out. In 1880 its vital
statistics covered only 962 per cent
of the United States, while in 1899
these statistics had 100 per cent
coverage.

is still inadequate, census experts de-
clared that Americans are eating
better, and more wisely, than they
did generation ago.
Citrus Production Increased.
Agricultural products high in vita
min C content show large increases,
according to census figures Produc-
ton of grapefruit totaled 1895, $40
boxes in 1884, as compared with l.
1879 $50 boxes in 1909, an increase in
IS years of approximately 1.540 per
cent. During the same period
orange production jumped 26l.7 per
cent. In the 20 years following
1909, output of lemons expanded
237 per cent, and land acreage de-
voted to tomatoes increased 1872
per cent.
Vitamin B products showed per-
centage gains far greater than the
growth in population. The most
notable increase was in the acreage
devoted to soybeans-from 1929
acres in 1909 to 100000 in 1894.
Only small part Of the soybean
crop. however. is employed for hu-
man food. Production of dry field
beans jumped 662 per cent from
1909 to 1894
Farm products containing high
vitamin A content likewise shared
in the increase. Acreage devoted to
green beans expanded 1926 per cent

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. June 9.-Wheat prices
rose 2 cents a bushel at the start OF
trading today to highs unequaled
here since MAY, 1910, but backed
down under weight of profit taking
inspired by net gain the past week
of more than cents.
Although quotations never got
below Saturdays close, much OF the
gain was wiped out at times, with
prices steadying at around l cent
net advance. Weakness of corn, due
in part to moderation of the Gov
ernment's selling policy, helped to
unsettle wheat while many dealers
who bought early due to excessive
rain in the Southwest. holding up
harvest and promoting spread of
rust. turned sellers because of un-
certainty regarding the market effect
of wet harvest. While there were
reports of rust damage and moisture
lowering quality, many dealers were
not certain as to what effect bad
harvesting conditions will have on
quantity. Field operations are ex-
pected to be hampered and some re-
ports indicated yields will be lowered
in certain areas.
Wheat closed 1-1as cents higher
than Saturday; July, 102ssa1 Ops;
September. 104a1 04l4; corn, SAILS
lower; July, 727s; September, TAN;
oats unchanged to % lower.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Buying Of
industrial blue chips" and special
ties kept the home fires burning in
today's stock market.
While gains of fractions to 2 points
or so were shown for favorites at
the close, utilities and a number of
other groups inclined to lag.
Dealings. fairly lively in the fore
noon, slowed after midday and
transfers for the full proceedings
approximated AIS 900 shares.
Sentiment was aided to some ex-
tent, brokers said. by reports on
initial Allied successes in Syria but
it was realized the Germans might
eventually be able to turn the tide
here.
A little encouragement apparently
was derived from signs Washington
might assume a sitter attitude in
labor disputes threatening the ar
mament program. AS the Army took
over the strikebound North Ameri-
can aviation plant at 1nglewood,
Calf. some financial doubters. how
ever. wondered if stockholders might
not get the worst of it in the long
run if similar steps were taken in
other lines.
Hopefulness for a smo0ther-Work-
ing tax law getting through Con-
gress again spurred bidding for
issues of corporations that might be
