During the last five years tbe averal!e production of wheat. in Europe has increased sou e 50,000,000 bushels, while the harvests have been generally b"tter. 1n consequence of the increased European demaml, large areas of land wer e bronght under wheat culti ·,ation in Russia, Brit· ish Jnd1a, .Australia and South America, 11s well 11s iu the United States <ind Canada. The increased production in India and Austmlia, has been very large, especi~lly in ladi'l, '?wing to the ei.:ceJ· sively low prices of labor and to increased facilities for transportation.
