The World's Wheat Crop.

The immensity of the wheat business ' of the world can only be na'isfd by a study rf the requirements of the bread eaters and the gigantic nature of the; operations through which their needs j are supplied. In Australia weare fond ; of discussing the wheat crops of the j several States m the light of important; j factors m the supply o£ breadatuffs for \ the wheat-consuming people oi the \ wide world; yet i! the truth be told, the i only matter c f any consequence m ' connection with this supply is the fact that prioes for our wheat are usually controlled by those ruling m the large distributing centres each as London and j Liverpool Mr Ray Stannard Baker, j m a cleverly constructed article m the j 'Windsor Magazine,' has helped hie readers largely to obtain a thorough Idea of the great movements m wheat which are necessary m order that starvation shall not overtake the people of the countries which do not prodase sufficient wheat for their local require mentß. There are now about 517,000, 000 bread-eafeers In the world, and a yearly Increase of some eight million has also to be reckoned with, Each bread eater, man, womao, and child,! requires four and ■ one half bushels of ■wheat every year. English, French, American, and Austra'ian breadeaters consume more than the average every year; Bussians and Germans e»t lees, j On this basis, m order ths.t the bread j eaters of the world, shall be fed, 2,300,000,000 bushels of wheat must fee grown on the face of the earth every year; A remarkable feature of the great industry is the eery slight divisi on between production and consumption each year. Always there is some surplus wheat m ihe world and the surplusib the balancing p»wer which keeps production and consumption even In the scale. Of course there are periods of scarcity and there are years m which countries that, as a rulp, produce saffi-cient for their needs fail, and the conarqupnee is a famine, such as often occurs m India, How long this evenness of demand find supply is likely to continue sa a quest ion of the keenest interest to wheat growers. According to Rr William Crookes, the president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, who has devoted much close calculation to the subject, tbe*d&teis approaching when the bread-eaters will cry vainly to the wheat-producers for sufficient for their needs. Sir William Crookes named the year 1931 as the date when this condition would be reached. Speculation only can be indulged m 3 however. The bread eat ing population ia increasing very fast, but tbeir Btill remain immense uncul tivated areas m the United States which will certainly produce wheat m the future. Australia can also offer the service of much larger territories than are at present devoted to wheat growing. Further, the country al ready cultivated m all parts of the world would certainly raise greatly increased qualities as soon as a scarcity forced prices to higher levels, Farmers the world over observe the markets very closely, and when wheat, which is quickly and cheaply produced, increases m value, growers speedily prepare to take advantage of the market by sowing larger areas on their farms. Altogeth er, a forecast is surrounded with diffic ulties. At present one point is very clear to Die Australian grower, and that is that the world's consumers are too regularly and fully supplied to tuit his interests. A casual factor m the situation gives hope of better prices at som6 indefinite period m the future. The Obioeße are being supplied with flour, and it is said that the conservat ive yellow people are beginning to believe that wheat is much better than Ihe rice to which they have clung most tenaciously through many centuries of semi-starvation. Should the Chinese become breadeaters the dream of the whe:it-grower—wheat 5s per bushel on the farm—would speedily materialise, for the Chinese would consume the whole of the wheat grown m the world, end still remain hungry. One ol the most interesting phases o! the wheat supply of the world is the distribution. If each wheat-producing country m the world depended upon its own production there would be starving millions m some and far more wheat m others than would be needed by the people. Great Britain con sumes btr wheat crop m 13 weeks and if foreign supplies were cut off her.people would quickly suffer. In all probability, if a hostile country could blockade ihe United Kingdom, her population would starve to death m the coarse cf Bom& four rnonthß, Several European countries are m the same position. Russia, Hua* gary, Servis, Bulgaria, *nd Boumani*, certainly produce more than they require bat their surplus is sufficient only to supply the necessities of Holland, BA: gium, Scandinavia, and Switzerland, leaving tho shortage m Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy, »nd Franco still existing. For some years America has helped to fill the breach. In 1898 the American growers produced 788, 000,000 bushels of wheat, something more than one quarter of the world's production, Europe produced Ijsiß, 881,000, or more (ban one half of the ■world's ji eld. Then Aeia,including India and Turkey, the largest producers m Asia, come next with 421,000,000 bushels, and Australia came last of all with about 35,000,000 bushels. In the position revesled by these figures America holds an enormous advantage, bpcause sue has a groat sot 1 plus over local requirements Tho esumatet-jjof the American crop of 1899 show that the 74,000 000 inhabitant! of the states would require 345,000,000 bushels for food ; for seeding the wheat farms, amounting to 47,000,000 acres of land, 70,500,000 bushels woald be required, the allowance being 1J bushel per acre. The total local roqoirements for the forthcoming year coma to 415, 000,000 bushels. But the crop is esti mated at over 600.000,000 bnahels, so that some 200,000,000 bushels will be available for export. This vast quantity of wheat gives the American wheat dealer far reaching influences over the markets of the world. Small won i der that the cleverness of the American and his remarkable aptitude for con trolling big commercial affairs ■howld have resulted m the creation of wheat kings, who feel the pulses of supply and demand the world over, and work oufc the distribution of the food so effeofcually that wherever people require

bread they are reached while America has wheat to sell. The wheat harvest of the world proceeds almost tho whole year ronnd. Right at the bottom of the world, operations begin In Peru and the southern tip of Africa m the month of November. Australia be gins a!so with the first of this month. Burma Bucceeda m December, the Ar gentine m January, the East Indies and Upper Kgypt m February and March, the wheat belts of Ada Minor Persia, India, aad Mexico m April. In May the harvesters begin to lower the y How ripe wheat m the United States, and m Japan and Northern Africa the primitive methodl? of those countries are set m motion, Jane sees the States m the thick of harvest, and it continues to September. Jn the northern coun tries of P'urope July and August are the harvest months. America m her own language, Is out of sigkfe ahead of all other countries m her sy«tem of wheat handling, grading, storing, and facilities for export, and for local sale. It is stated on good authority that the farmers are keen business men, who Bell by the markets they study, and further, that the profits of these wheat growers amount to oniy from 5 to 12 per cent on the capital invested,- — Sydney Mail.
