Let us see whether I can establish that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. What will our population be in 1920. or eleven years from today? I have made a careful estimate. and have taken the estimates made by others who have given the subject considerable attention. and the estimate is that in 1.920 our population will be about 117.000.000 people. at the present ratio of increase. taking into consideration a reasonable immigration from Europe. The average yearly consumption of wheat varies considerably. dependent upon industrial conditions of the country. Under normal conditions we use for seed and bread about 7 bushels per capita. under the conditions that existed from 1893 to 1897 the consumption outside of seed was only about half of the usual consumption.
