THE WORLD’S CEREAL AND FOOD-CROPS 47 populations throws light upon the world-possibilities of population generally, and upon the general issues of the future. We shall review, therefore, the popu- lation-growth between 1906 and 1911. For the quinquennium mentioned France was grow- ing at a rate which would double its population only in 436 years, while Canada’s rate of growth would double it in 23% years. From 1790 to 1860 the population of the United States grew at a rate which would double it in less than this, viz., in a little over 22 years, a rate which Australia slightly surpassed in the quinquennium 1887 to 1891 inclusive, her increase- rate being then 3-06 per annum. The rates for different countries are given in the table hereunder, and the number of years requisite for the populations to double, at such rates.
