! (Specially Written for The Bulletin.) ! Probably about the last thing ome would pick up for light reading would be a census report. Statistics of any sort, when they are merely figures marshalled in formal columns | or arrayed in solid ruled-off tables, are | hardly classed as “hammock reading”. But then, these are not really ham- ‘mock days. And some of the facts iwhich a patient investigator can dig | slowly out of the census tables and | other government statistics are rather |interesting. 1 confess that 1 haven't | all this information at my elbow; con- fess further to a grave doubt whether my patience would hold out to plow 1 and harrow through it, even if it were. | But William Joseph °Showalter ~ has done it for me and for others in The | National Geographic magazine, and I | have found some of his results so ex- tremely fascinating that I wonder if they won't prove so to others, as well. For instance, did you know that the world eats about 47,000,000,000 pounds of meat every year? Well, what if it ‘does, you say; that's not very thrill- ing news. But a little figuring will show that thig means an average of mbout 89 pounds to every man, woman and chid on the globe. A little more, and we discover that we of the United States eat on an average 172 pounds a year of what is called ‘“butchers’ meat”, which is_about four and a half times the world average. Australians eat still more. They lead the world in meat consumption, per capita. But no other country consumes so much as America. Where we make way with 172 pounds per head, Englishmen eat 119 pounds; Germans 113 pounds (this was before the war: they're eating less mow); Frenchmen and Belgians 80 pounds; Austrians 64 pounds; Rus- sians 50 pounds; Spaniards 49 pounds. We divide up our meat-cating between $0_pounds of beef; 78 pounds of pork; 7 1-2 pounds of veal and 6 1-2 pounds of mutton. The average Epglishman eats 56 pounds of beef to our 80, but gets away with 26 pounds of mutton to our 6 1-2. From which it mi®ht be contended that “the roast beef of Old England” isn't so supreme there as here. The Germans come nearest to us in pork-eating, taking 67 pounds per head to our 78, while Englishmen eat only 33 pounds apiece of pork, in- cluding lard, etc. ® In this connection, it is curious to note that the meat-packing industry, which ism't yet half a century old, is the biggest single business in the Uni- ted States, its products being valued in 1910 at $1,370,000,000, which is $140,- 000,000 more than the entire value of foundry and machine-shop products for that year, the one line that came nearest to it. Practically all of this is for home consumption, too. Once we exported a good deal of meat. Now, we e: mighty little, outside of lard, whick a meat product but hardly a meat. The Argentine republic has practically taken our beef export right away from us. Where, in 1901 we exported, l. e. shipped abroad 351,743,00. beef andArgentina only 504,000 quar- ters, in 1913 we sent abroad only 362,000 pounds while Argentina ship- ped 4,093,000 quarters. That same Ar- gentina manages to keep 70 sheep to the square mile, too, while the United States can’t raise but 17. While we're on the subject of meat it may be interesting to note that the price of the best porterhouse steak: in 1858 ran about 15 1-2 cents a pound, and cattle on the hoof were selling around 7 cents. There was a differ- ence at that time of just about 5 cents a pound between the price of beef on the hoof and the dressed carcass.

A REVELATION CONCERNING THE FOOD WE EAT Arabic is | to pounds of | the difference is stated to be “approx- imately only half as much.” When it comes to fish, we are not “in_jt” with Japan. The fieshermen of those little islands catch and sell about one-third of all the fish taken in the world in a year, though their pop- ulation is not one-fiftieth of the world’s. Where we eat meat and wheat, they live on fish and rice, main- ly, 1t probably wouldn't do us any harm and would certainly much reduce the “cost of living” if we Yanks should take at least a leaf or two out of their book. Fish is cheaper than meat, the seas are fuller of it than the land ever can be of cattle, and it is about as nourishing. Rice is cheaper than wheat, and a much more sustaining food, pound for pound. A half-and-half division of our eating between meat and fish, between wheat ang rice, would work a wonder- ful reduction in our national food bill, at no likely cost to our health or vigor. It's “nip and tuck” between these cereals, too, as to which is the most largely produced and widely eaten. Wheat is mostly grown in lands where the census-taker can get in his work, while rice is chiefly produced in Asia, where _statistics are few and methods of gathering them crude. It is known that the world’s total production of wheat approximate 4,000,000,000 bush- els. The best estimates of rice pro- duction run between 3,500,000,000 and 5,000,000,000 bushels, the United States produce about one-fifth of the world's wheat; Asia produces,—and consumes —more than nine-tenths of the rice. Recent medical discoveries make 1t fairly certain that an exclusive rice diet leads to the dreaded disease |known in the east as beriberi. But i the same science also declares that a too exclusive diet of our own Indian corn leads just as surely to th equally dreadful disease, pellagra. Sensible people don’t want to live ex- clusively on either. Corn is really, our big hold. Thel United States shells out annually | about two-thirds of all the corn grown in the world. This seems natural, too, as corn is an American crop, native to this country, and presumably adapted to its soils and climate. But those factors don’t always control, as may {be noted in the case of wheat and! potatoes. Wheat is an Asian cereal| by origin. Yet it is now grown ten | times as widely in America and Bu- rope as on the continent of its origin. Potatoes, on the other hand, are of American birth, yet Europe, which never saw one till after the discovery of America, now produces ten bushels to_our one. So it appears that the plants native to one continent can, in some cases, at least, be so acclimatized to another as do even better in their adopted lands than in their orizinal homes. { It probably would be better for Asia and her people if she would raise and {eat more corn and less rice: equally probable that we should be wise to eat | less corn and wheat and more rice. The last will grow and do well in many parts of this country. We al- produce in the United States ¢ than 700,000,000 pounds a year. But that's only a drop in the bucket compared with our annual average| production of more than 1,500,000,000 bushels of corn. Talking of American food plants it is interesting to reflect upon what a new variety the discovery of this hem- isphere gave to the world. Corn, of course leads the list; o distinctively an American plant that we still call it ‘Indian” corn, in memory of the braves | who were growing it around their| wigwams azes before the first white man ever saw their shores. Then comes the potato, first found in Peru, ony three centuries ago, and now cultivated all around the globe to such an extent that its annual dig bulks up nearly equal to the entire bushelage of all the wheat and corn raised in the world. The tomato, too, is a native Amer- | ican. It leads all our vegetable in| value, with a comercial production of | about $14,000,000 a year, which, of| doesn’t include’ the untold| es raised all over the country | in small kitchen-gardens and consum- ed fresh or home-canned rizht on the farms. It's curious to note tbat while tomatoes rank first in value among our vegetables, excluding potatoes, of course, the onion comes second; sweet corn third; watermelons fourth; muskmelons fifth; green peas sixth. When it comes to fruits banana and the pineapple also Americans. It is hard to imagine a fruit-stand without its bananas. Yet it is less than fifty years since the first banana was imported,—less than thirty since it became a regular arti- cle of commerce. Now a whole fleet is required to handle the crop. Even | New Englana takes about 7,000,000 ‘both are the bunches a year. We Yanks devour more than 40,000,000 bunches. Yet it is said that, on the big plan- tations where they grow. in Central America and the West Indies, no one seems to eat them and It is mext to impossible for a visitor to obtain a ripe one. ‘Another case where ‘“fa- millanity breeds contempt™. Mr. Showalter’s researches bring out several especlally interesting facts facts about some of our minor foods or food adjuncts. Coffee for instance, is shown to be eimply the kernel of a crimson, cherry-like fruit, which has to be taken from the juicy pulp, dried and “husked” before marketing. “Black” tea is tea leaves dried in the sun, then fermented, and then “fired”. “Green” tea is tea leaves dried over a fire in pans, rolled and then slowly roasted. The vaniila “bean” is really the fruit of a climbing orchid. It is another native American, though now srown elsewhere. Pepper is the “dried unripe berry” of a vine, grown originally in India but now widely raised. ‘“White pep- per is generally supposed to be pro- duced from a different spice, but it is, in reality, the same fruit prepared by a different method.” Cinnamon is the inner bark or a certain tropical tree, taken solely from the young shoots. Cloves are just unopened flower- buds of an evergreen tree, also found only in the tropics. Nutmegs, like coffee, are the ker- nels of a fruit, tropical again, and about the size and shape of an or- ange. These kernels have a husk out of which they have to be shucked, when dry, and the husk is then sold as mace. Sometimes, when I'm eating some- thing especially good, I like to think where it all came from and how I happen to be so lucky as to get it. Perhaps some of The Bulletin’s boys and girls may be similarly curlous and, therefore, find interest in these odd bits about various foods. THE FARMER.
