WEDNESDAY, DEC I. I897. THE CONSUMPTION OF WHEAT 15. W. Snow In cultivator and county gentleman: The willingness of the average man to accept as true any statement wbtcli Is expressed In figures Is ono of the peculiarities of the workings or the Human tulrid. Stamp theac fig ures as "ofllleul" and they are ac cepted as a finality. TI10 man who Is ready to dispute any statement made In words capitulates when the same statement i?thruit upon him In Arabic nuiwrjR Give some of ficial authority for your figures and It Is enly the exceptional man who de clined to be convinced. Thero Is a class of public teachers who ro'y upon this unquestioning ac ceptance of ofllehi! figures to bolster up whatever theory they arc present ing. In the campaign last fall, sliver advocates presented this statement of average consumption per capita of wheat from "ofllciiil" records; 1871 4 (JO bush. JS72 4.7!) bush. 187.'l 4.81 bush. 1894 8.41 bush. 18D5 ...i 4.54 bush. Ergo, as a result of the "crime of 73" our people arc unable to cut as much wheat as they did before sliver was stricken down. This was too good an argument to bo lost; foour Republican protection ist counters, In this fashion, ncaln fro 11 "oillcial" recerds: 1888. . . , G.G2 bush. 1889 6.31 buali. 18H) OOObush.

In each case the "oillcial" authority Is the report of tho Hurcau of Statls tics of ti'o Treasury Department. Thatofllcc, for some Inscrutable rea son, or perhaps with entire lack of reason, In recent years publishes for each year what it Is pleased to call "consumption per capita of w'icat." Wltlf a braery that Is almost reck less, It also professes to glvo with minuteness dywn to the tenth and oven hundreth of a pound, a similar statement of tlio consumption per capita each year of cotton, sugar, cof fee and' tJM. As a matter of fact the tltloghcn the table Is entirely amis noiuur. What His trying to show, and that iu a crudo way, Is the sup ply per 'capita Insttatl of the con- Miiunlhin per capita, two things that are widely dllluront. Tlio) llgures gicn are reached by taklnir tho pro duction of the year, plus or minus the net Imports or exports, and dlylded by the aumeJ t"tl of population.

SCOTT WJWHK, CbM4.li, Kw Yo. H, G. SONNEMANN; Grocer, qualification, what really li an wtl mato and not a recorded fact. In the case of the wheat llgures before quoted, the conclusl jn Is reached by taking for production the annual esti mate of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, deducting the net exports of the year and dividing by the assumed average population of the jear. lor tho past five years these estimates of production have been notoriously at variance with the final recorded movement, sometimes nearly lOO.OOO.COO bushels out of the way, so that as a showing of eyen the per capita supply, the figures arc widely at variance with the facts. Even If the data used were at all accuratc,tho nhoxlng still would not be what the olllcl.it report calls tl.consumptlon per capitnbecause the supply of the year Is not nil consumed In the year. Worn crop- are large, there is a surplus above requirements, which Is carried oyer in the form of accumulated stock to be drawn upon when the Inevitable lean year arrives. These fluctuations in surplus carried oyer make valueless the llgures presented, so far as any showing of the consuming ability of the people Is concerned. It being Impossible to secure an exact statement of wheat production and of variance In stocks at bcglnlng and end of the period, the consump tion per capita cannot bo reached by the simple process of dhlslon - This lcacs as the only way of approxima ting It the plan of wcurl"g a record of the actual -consumption In a suf ficient number of typical families to fairly rcprcocnt tho conditions of the whole people. Some twenty years since, Mr J. It. Dodge, then tho Statl-tlclan of the (United States Department of Agriculture, (made such an Investigation, and tho result wasghen aaapproxlmatlng 4r bush els per capita. For a long period tills was accepted as the "official" estimate, and, with it as the basis of domestic consumption, tho estimates of wheat production made by tho Depart mont of Agriculture tallied very closely with what in tho end pioved the recorded distribution of the crop. Hearing in mind that the cbtiri'Ulo was made some eight months beforo the facts of exporta tion, commercial movement, and re maining stocks could be known, this substantial agreement was strong evidence both of the correctness of this assumed rate of consumption and of the oillcial estimates of production. Tho general accuracy of this esti mate was never questioned until In recent years and distribution on this basis materially exceeded later esti mates of production. When that be came apparent, It, with other evi dences of Inaccuracy, convinced most of those interested In crop estimates, that the later official cltlmatcs of wheat production were too low; but tin. re was a class who preferred to believe that the estimates of produc tion were still correct uud that the fault uy in the assumed ratoof con sumption, or that at least there had bceu sudden and marked .falling off In the actual use of wheat for food ln this country. Tho only fact adyauced tobiipport this contention was tho dibiig cement between tho dlstrsbu tlon 011 this old basis and the now estimates of production. Certainly no definite data were over .advanced which supported It, and the argu ments prcbented seemed to have little plausibility In them. Ilradstricts wan ono of tho author ities which countenanced I ho now claim, and with a vlovvof testing Its position undertook an Investigation on Ita own account. It received re turns from 1103 families or aiturcituto of Individuals (hotel, etc.) covering 3J.S17 tM-t.jilo, and the fconcluslon was that Inctcud of leas thun-ll bushels jicr en pi tn, aud data Indicated 6.3S7 buslalrf, with IholBueKCBtlonihut tho results further unset lliooo who claliu thit the accepted cstlmato of (wheat cOKbtiiuntton per anuiii U too high, li. ii'ccnt years thero haa been no bpttlal tUUIIed uatherlnt' of data bearing upon thW bubject, but id tho annual report of tho United States ci'niulbKiiicr of labor from 1600 uud lb'JI (hero uro published schedules sIiqwIiiu tho iirluul I'iinuiuptlon of certain iMlti-leor food In Hill futnl I Its, co in u lbln 11,158 people.

The mi t ica nt luimilii t tiiii uvliirf Y t n liasui schedule while not entirely typical I uf the entire population,' comes nearer renreMintlug siuh an average than any concerning which other Mltuilar data hate been gathered The dediicth 11 rom this mass of data indicates a consumption of 4 77 bush els per capita. Appa.'cully every Investigation yet made Into this question, tends to con firm the claim that the original esti mate of 41 bushels Is a conservative statement, and certainly that It Is not too hlgh.lThe argument that this may have been reasonably accurate when made, but that in tho recent r years of hard times the rate has fallen off, seems untenable. When Income Is reduced and curtailment of living expenses becomes necebsaey, it is tho more expensive forms of food that naturally are dispensed with. In these years of enforced economy flour has bten thedheapost form of sta ple fuudftwd when the dearer foods are banished, the reasonable assumption wouli sectu to be that flour, being the cheapest, would come Into greater demand. Even at the rato of 4! bush els, the United States would bo classed among the clyllbed nations m iking the smallest use or wheal, u conclusion which Is proba bly correct when the ability of our people to enjoy more than the bare necessities of life Is considered Cur rent data Indicate a wheat consump tion in other countries of about 8 bushels p?r capita In France, 7 In Canada, OJ in Austra, 6 In United Kingdom, and only 1.1 in Russia. The low consumption In Itussla, the second In rankfes a, wheat-producing country, isstrlklng. testimony as to thc"condiUon of the great mass of the population or that country. Her peo ple grow wheat to send abroad, while they themselves are forced to bo con tent with rye and otherchcaper forms of bread. This Is tho competition which our wheat eating farmers meet. 11. W.
