Excerpt from British Land Question Ou the other hand, a series of productive years and good prices have stimulated in an extraordinary degree the extension of wheat growing in the United States of America. In a single year they increased their acreage by an extent equal to our total growth. In the twenty years from i84o to 1860, their wheat production rose from 10 to 20 million quarters; in the twenty years from 1860 to 1880, it grew from 20 to 60 millions, - and their extent of good wheat land is practically unlimited. The two great corn products of that country are wheat and Indian corn, in regard to the first of which this country, and western Europe generally, will become increasingly dependent on America, and the price of wheat here will' be chiefly ruled by the production there.
