World's Increase In
Us Of Flour.
FLOUR consumption of the
world has been increasing
at a faster rate in the last six-
teen years than in any similar
period, says the "Dixie Miller."
The twentieth century has wit
nessed great strides in the broad
ening of white flour consump-
tion. Wheat flour has supplant
ed, to some extent, other foods
in China, Japan and India, and
it is in these countries, rather
than in Europe or in North Am-
erica, that the amount of flour
beingconsumed at this time isso
much larger than fifteen or
twenty years ago, says, "Milling
and Grata News." White flour
is still an unknown article of
food in many parts of China and
Japan, farts of South America
and Africa are still unacquaint
ed with the value of while flour,
and the possibilities of enlarg
ing the consumption of wheat
flour, are such that.it is indeed
curious that the possible output
of flour mills of the world to
day is at least 35 per cent, in
excess of consumption.
What has been the rate of in
crease in recent years? A world
authority places the gain at 100.
000,000 bushels annually. This
may be a small exaggeration,
but the increase in tbe use of
flour in China and Japan must
not be under-estimated. The
United States has shown a large
per capita increase S. America
& Africa considered at one time
very small consumers of flour,
are rapidly being converted to
the many ue B of white flour
Although j^d is still the prin
cipal artichrof diet in the Or-
ient, the larger demand for
white flour in China and Japan
is reflected in the increased pro
dllCtion of wheat and the ex
tensive additions to the flour
mill capacity of these countries.

Wherever wheat is grown and
where white flour is made, there
is sure to be develpoed a de
mand for the "staff of life."
This is the case in the Orient. In
the next few years flour con
sumption there will probably
show a bigger gain than in the
past.
Aside from the larger demand
for flour in the Orient, other sec-
tions of the world have been us
ing the product of wheat more
extensively. The percapita gain
in Europe has been large, and it
is natural to expect that, in the
years following the war, Euro-
pean countries will eat more
bread than ever before. White
bread is a cheap food, and the
ravaged countries of Europe, al-
ready known as the largest con
sinners of floui, will eat more
than ever before.
The United States per capita
consumption of white flour is
being augmented by publicity
campaigns and food studies.
That it is capable of a large in-
crease is indicated by the fact
that a number of European coun
tries consume an average of
more than seven bushels of
wheat annually for every person,
while the consumption in the
United States is barely five and
one-half bushels. Still, flour con
sumption in this country is now
larger than 10 years ago, and
the value of white flour is being
appreciated more and more
every year.
There need never be any
doubt that the production of
wheat will always increase fas-
ter than co..sumption. This
generation, at least, need bother
itself only with means for in
creasing the demand for wheat
flour. Where wheat is a profit
able crop it will always be pro
duced. Wheat is profitable to
farmers now and has been profit
able in the last fewyears. Many
parts of the world are adapted
to wheat production, and un
cultivated sections will be
sown to wheat as the dtmand
for wheat flour increases. If
flour consumption is gaining at
the rate of 100,000,000 bushels
every year, then wheat 1 induc-
tion is easily keeping p;.ce, as
indicated by figures on world
wheat production to it y and
ten years ago.
The growing popularity of
white flour among the people
of the world reflects a better
standard of living, as compared
with earlier years. There is
hardly a home in this country
that does not serve white flour
to day in some form at very
meal, and this is not becarse of
its cheepness, but becauM of
its value as a food ; r duct.
Some day this will be true of
all the homes of the world. The
product of the wheat berry is a
refined food, and any increase in
its consumption means a heatlh-
ier and wealthier people.
