THE WHEAT SUPPLY.
NEED FOR INTENSIVE FARMING LONDON, September 14.
Professor Dixon said it was clear that tlie available proportion of the world’s wheat supply from extensive sources had been reached, and they must depend in future upon intensive farming, with its greater demands on labour. At the present time 242,000,000 acres were under wheat, and these might be increased to 300,000,000. Therefore the earth might finally be able to feed permanently 1,000*,000,00p wheat eaters. A more ;n----tensive cultivation would also cause
greater equalisation in the distribution of population.
