ABSTRACT
A feature of the wheat industry in the United States that merits special mention is the increased production of durum wheats. The similarity between Russia and the United States in the natural resources of the wheat growing regions is quite equaled by the dissimilarity in political practice, social theory and economic condition. The two factors which enabled India to become a large exporter of wheat were the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the subsequent development of the railroads. Agricultural conditiors in different parts of India, and meteorological conditions in different parts and in different seasons, are so diverse that the annual production varies greatly and is extremely difficult to predict. Canada has greater possibilities of an immediate and rapid increase in wheat production than any other country. The world’s production of wheat is continually increasing, and in 1906 it approximated three and a half billion bushels.
