Book Description

Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 33: November, 1918 In 1913, in 1914, and again in 1915, the United States produced the largest wheat crops ever harvested in this country; the average for the three years was almost bushels. The average exports of Wheat (and flour) for the same years were almost a quarter of a million bushels; the exports for the years 1914 - 15 and 1915 - 16 were much the largest recorded during the pres ent century. In striking contrast to these huge crops was the exceedingly disappointing harvest of 1916, which amounted to only bushels. How ever, there was a large carry-over from the 1915 crop, amounting at the beginning of J uly, 1916, to 179, bushels, which, together with the new crop, made possible an export movement of bushels during the succeeding twelve months.
