HIS LIFE AND WORK 



that the world's wheat crop must be increased 

 ten per cent. 



More wheat and a more efficient organiza- 

 tion of wheat agencies that is the programme 

 of the future. Already one unsuccessful effort 

 has been made to hold an international Wheat 

 Congress; and the second attempt may end 

 more happily. Now that the world has be- 

 come so small that a cablegram flashes com- 

 pletely around it in twelve minutes; now that 

 there are forty-four nations united by The 

 Hague Conferences and fifty-eight by the Postal 

 Union; now that war has grown to be so 

 expensive that one cannon-shot costs as much 

 as a college education and one battleship as 

 much as a first-class University, it is quite 

 probable that the march of co-operation will 

 continue until there is a Congress, and a cen- 

 tral headquarters and a Tribunal, which will 

 represent nothing less than an international 

 fellowship of the wheat.
