Tho domestic consumption of salt
in' 1916 was 4 5,720,860 barrels of
280 pounds ouch, an increase of more
than 7,000,000 barrels ovor the con
sumption of 1916. According to sta
tistics compiled under the direction

quantity of suit produced. The total
value of the salt was $13,645,947.
Michigan, as usual, was the largest
producer, and Now York was a close
second. Tho production, In barrels,

14,087,760; Ohio, 6,706,193; Kan
sas, 4,664,793; California. 1,124,236.

000,000 barrels. The production oi
