Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... The DEGREESnigration of the wheat belt. A similar movement is showing itself with respect to wheat. Wheat, like beef, has been, in a sense, a frontier crop. This is for no other reason than that it is a suitable crop to grow at long distances from market where land is abundant. That is to say, wheat, like beef, stands transportation well, and, more important still, it is most economically produced where there is abundance of cheap land in proportion to the supply of labor. When labor has become relatively more abundant and land relatively more scarce, there has been a tendency throughout our history for wheat and beef growing to give way to other products requiring less land and more labor for their economical production. For this reason wheat, like beef, has followed our frontier, and we need not be surprised or alarmed when the center of wheat production passes to the new frontiers beyond our national boundaries. This will not be a decline in agriculture but an advance. However, it is not likely that the total amount of either wheat or beef will actually or seriously decline in this country, though it is unlikely that it will keep pace with our growth of population. Wheat will be found to fit into systems of crop rotation with other heavier-yielding crops. In parts of England, for example, the author has been told by farmers that they could not afford to grow wheat except for the above reason, and for the further reason that they needed straw as bedding for their cattle.
