Forecast« ol Wheat Production
Estimates and forecasts o f wheat
production, outside o f Russia and
China indicate that the world’s sup
ply will be close to that o f last year,
while the demand is stronger be
cause o f low stocks o f old wheat and
other grains and a short wheat crop
in the Orient. Estimates o f pro
duction in twenty-one countries of
the Northern Hemisphere indicate a
production o f 2,351,000,000 bushels
as compared with 2,320,000,000 bush
els last year. These countries last
year produced 78 per cent o f the
total production o f the northern hem

The busy little bee, functioning as
a transportation agency, is one of
the most efficient carriers in the
business, according to J. T. Saunders,
freight traffic manager of Southern
Pacific company.
“ With honey selling around twen
ty-five cents a pound” Saunders said,
“ bees must fly 40,000 miles for ev-
ery pound o f sweetness stored in the
hive. Scientists, studying bees, have
discovered that harvesting o f a pound
o f honey requires 20,000 round trips
to the fields and that the average
bee travels two miles each trip.
Translated into dollars and cents this
makes the,bee a very efficient car
rier indeed.
“ Southern Pacific, receiving last
year an average gross revenue of
1.382 cents fo r hauling a ton o f
freight one mile, must carry the
average pound offered for shipment
36,180 miles to produce a revenue
equalling the value o f the pound of
honey produced by the bees’ 40,000
mile labor.
“ Bees and their owners, however,
00 not bear so heavy a burden o f
taxation and expense as the railroads
are at present struggling under. Out
o f the twenty-five cents received by
the railroad for hauling a pound 36,-
180 miles, roughly 71 per cent is
consumed in operating expenses
alone, while from the remaining 29
percent must be paid heavy taxes in
addition to overhead.”

No matter what the products, it
will pay the producer well to grade
them, says the State Market Agent.

the entire lot look inferior. Cull out

You will get more money fo r what
