World's Crops
The November number of the “Bulletin .of Agricultural Statia- tics" has just been published, under the direction of Professor Umberto Bicci, by the Internation al Institute of Agriculture, Rome. Tables for the more important cereals are reproduced wib addi- tions and altorations minde in accordance with official informa ...tion received at the institute up
to Noveujber 15,
The most important additions consist in the figures of rice pro- duction. in Egypt (3,800,400 "quintals, against.1,875,900 quin- tals in 1910), and the area vindor rice in India (21,303,310 hectares, against 22,166,947 hectares a year ngo). The principal, alterations are in the figure of production for wheat and rye in Itussia in Europe, and of maize in the United States,
The single numerical statement of the production ie.,, the ratio, expresses in the form of a person- tage, bolween the production in. 1911 and that in 1910, has not undergone any important changes, being now: for wheat, 100-2; rye," 93.4; barley, 90.4; oats, 10.8. The production of maize shows a considomble decrease as compared with the production last year; the single numerical statement for the following group of countries: Spain, Hungary, Italy, Roumania, Russia, Switzerland, Canada, United States, Algeria, and Tunis being 89.1. That for rice is 109.63 for the following list of countries: Spain, Italy, United States, Japan and Egypt.
The poorness of the sugar beet crop this year is brought into ovidence by the official figures of production in the following coun- trios: Prussia, Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Roumania, Russia, and Servia, Though the area under sugar-beat this year shows marked increase over last year's ared (111.1 per cont.), the pro- duction has diminished from 295,010,655 quintale last your to 228,118,100 quintils for the pre- The singlo uuteri-
sent season.
cal statomont of the production is "therefore only 77.3.The greatest decrease has taken place in Prus- sia, where the outturn is only
·62,233,420 - quintals against 105,043,207 last year.
