be consumed as feed by animals. Kan
sas' corn crop last year was only 23,-
000,000 bushels compared with the
usual production of 150.000,000 bush
els. This year's estimates are for a
crop of 150,000,000 bushels of wheat.
It is estimated that about 45,000,00
bushels of wheat of last year's crop
was consumed as animal feed. Of
the average annual production of 685,-
000,000 fcushels of wheat during the
past five years, about 581,000,000 were
retained in this country and 106,000,-
000 exported.
If the domestic wheat requirement
were reckoned at about 5.3 bushels
per capita, exclusive of seed and 75
; to 80 million bushels for seed and
_ were applied to a population of 98,-
_ 636,000, officials say It would indl
{ cate a normal reqlurement of 522,-

s mated at approximately 75,000,000
s and possibly more. Even this would
9 leave about 255,000,000 for export.
"Present indications," says the de

STEEL DEPRESSION
SLOWLY LIFTING
Promise of Larger Volume of Busi

Off at Steelton
The hundreds of employes of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company working
on reduced time will be Interested In
the prediction made by the Iron Age
this morning: that Improved conditions
in the steel industry are not far off.
The Iron Age says:
"Indications of improvement in the
steel trade are notably increasing. The
corner seems to have been turned at
last and manufacturers are now con
fident that the remainder of the year
will show a much larger volume of
business than the first half.
"The large impetus to a better feel
ing which the steel rail orders of the
week have given needs only the fol
lowing partial enumemtion for sub
stantiation: Though discounted to a
greater or less degree, the clearing of
the atmosphere of uncertainty regard
ing the Pennsylvania's rail distribution
has helped materially, of the 100,000
tons placed, 75,000 tons are for 100-
pound rails and the remainder
120-pound rails. The Steel Corporation
will roll 4 4,000 tons; the Pennsylvania
and Cambria Steel companies, each
22,000 tons, and the Bethlehem and
wanna steel companies, each,
6,000 tons; and all companies will roll
both sections. The Missouri Pacific
has bought 6,700 tons of rails of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company; the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany has taken an order for 2,500 tons
for a southern line and two orders for
girder rails amounting to 1,250 tons.
A small western road has bought 1,000
tons from the Illinois Steel Company
and the Nitrate Railways, Chile, has
bought 2,500 tons. The Boston and
Maine has placed 4,250 tons with the
Bethlehem Steel Company and 1,500
tons with the Lackawanna Steel Com
pany.
"While the demand for pife Iron is
improving, this branch of trade is not
showing the same strength as-finished
steel products. Production is at a
minimum. However, a cessation in
the three months declining pis iron
production Is indicated In our general
statistics. The capacity of stacks in
blast on May 1 wajs 70,T»95 tons; on
June 1 Jt was 64,514 tons; while on
July 1 it has dropped only to 63.698
tons. In other words, while the daily
production in June averaged 8,590 tons
less than it did in May. the capacity
in blast oh July 1 was within 21R tons
ah great as the June daily average,
which was 63,916 tons. Of this dally
average decrease of 3,590 tons against
May, about three-fourths was repre
sented in diminished output of steel
making furnaces. In other words, the
June pig iron production, 1,917,783
tons, is lower than last February's
production and that much near the
°w P" int of January, which was.
1,885,054 tons, the lowest production
since the middle of 1911. The rate of
production on June 1 .was less than
24,000,000 tons a year, while to-day it
l S „«°nJr r 23,500,000 tons, against 33,-
500,00 tons in May, 1913."
