THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE.
'""What will become of the great wheat-growing countries" the "Daily News" representative asked. "They," Mr Williams cheerfully replied, "would be .ruined at a stroke." The discussion turned on. the effect on theAvorld.of.com grown indoors. The ruined wheat countries, ..said Mr Williams, might take to stock-rising. But such a large addition to the stock supply would bring down the price of meat. Indeed, so far as the food of. the people is concerned the golden age would have daAvned. The cheap loaf would become an electioneering anachronism, and the waving cornfields only a poetic survival. Unt there is another side. "Wheat corners," would no longer be possible, and in this country we could no longer be starred'-out-by a foreign foe. That tact, in its-turn,'would mean that the Naval- Estimates should come doAvn with a run.
