WHEAT SUPPLY.
WHAT IS NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. 'Times'—'Sydney Sun' Special Cables. (Received Sept. 15, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 14.
At the British Association Congress Professor Henry Dixon, D.Sc, F.R.S., said it was clear that the Available proportion of the world's wheat supply from extensive sources had been reached, and that we must depend in the future upon intensive farming, with it® greater demands for labour. Two hundred and sorty-two million acres were at present under wheat; this area might be increased to three hundred millions. IPhtis tne earth might finally be able to feed permanently one thousand million wheat-eaters. More intensive cultivation would cause greater equalisation in the distributioa of the population.
