IjONDON, Sept. 18.?With bread
fcolllng at 25 ccnts a loaf and noon to
l>0 ralaod to 30. anil later porhapH to
35 cents, England la harvesting this
Hcason tho nmallest wheat crop Hlnco
tlio early daya of the war. Produc
tion of barley, on the other hand,
will Dhow a material Increase over
that of the last fow years.
The reasons for tills state of af
fairs. according to Professor James
J,ong, a weil-known agricultural ox
jjert, are government control and beer.
Tho price of wheat and oats Is regu
lated. but no restrictions have been
placed on that of barley. As tho
market price of barley Is exception
ally high, farmers planted that grain
Instead of wheat and oats.
Professor bong shows that slrico
If 18 wheat hua been reduced by 070,
000 acres, or more than one-third of
Ih?i present area, while oats. 11I30 an
important bread stuff, hits fallen off
by 512,000 acres. "On tho basis of
wheat," he says, "this means a loss
of bread grain equal to some 33,000,
bushels, or sufficient to feed
7,500.000 persons. It Is a curious
commentary on tho fact that the
barley crop has considerably ln
?:r? as< d, and that In consequence beer
lias Tar occupied tho position of
bread."
The country has fewer cattle than
In any year since 1003, and 5,330,000
I' :<s sheep than the average of the
ten years from 1004 to 1913. The do
crcase In cattle since l?*t year Is
more than 500.000 head.
