Canada raises more wheat and consumes more bread per capita than any other country. 200 million of the 388 million bushels were moved during the season. Canada won the world's wheat championship in 1893; for ten years successively the world's first wheat honors wtnt to the Canadian West, and in world wheat competi'ion in 1921, Canada secured 22 of the 25 prizes.
