Wheat in California.

California, once an important wheat state and noted for large bonanza wheat farms, is no longer classed as a wheat-producing state. Twenty years ago it produced 45,000,000 bushels of wheat, shipping much of it Toy Europe. This year its production will probably be not much more than 4,000,000 bushels, - and it will need to ship in from other states 10,000,000 bushels or more to meet its own food require meats.
