The wheat crop of California for 1880
can be much more approximately stat
ed than that for 1890, yet there fere dif
ficulties In the war of ascertaining the
correct total for last year, .since the
quantity taken for local consumption
is so uncertain. ' If we allow fire bush
els wheat per capita, or a barrel of
flour per capita, we must know what

know accurately the population of Cali
fornia, because there is more or less
flour shipped out of the State by rail
road, of which there are no published
returns available. We have no means

May and June, during the warmest

1884, which killed eighteen people and

Many a man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in

prevailing opinions to-day. It is sup
posed that California has a population
of 1.200.000 and possibly 1.600,000. If
the first total be true, then our popula
tion is using 180,000 tons of wheat In
the form of flour, whereas if the latter
total be true, then the quant ity thus
consumed is 225,000 tons. How many
tons go into Nevada, Arizona, etc., is
not known. The demands for seed and
feed are supposed to .be 100,000 tons
more, but this Item for seed belongs
rather to the invisible than the visible
supply. New York Herald.
