AND TRANSPORTATION THE chief ways of getting a living are by (1) raising food, (2) raising raw materials, (3) producing minerals, (4) engaging in manufacturing, and (5) engaging in commerce. In this exercise we shall try to find out in which of these ways the people of Europe get their living. The more backward parts of the continent are engaged almost exclusively in one of these occupations, while in the most advanced parts all five are highly developed. The parts of Europe that raise food. This book contains maps of the following great food products: Wheat (Fig. 38) Rice (Fig. 35) Cattle (Fig. 68) Rye (Fig. 43) Corn (Fig. 89) Potatoes (Fig. 48) Sheep (Fig. 71) Barley (Fig. 45) Oats (Fig. 40) Sugar (Fig. 54) Swine (Fig. 72) Grapes (Fig. 61) |. Make an alphabetical list of the countries of Europe arranged vertically, and to the right arrange twelve columns headed Wheat, Corn, Oats, etc., according to the list of products given above. Turn now to Figure 38, and after each country write something to indicate how much wheat is produced in proportion to the country’s size, and also in what part of the country it is produced, provided there are great differences from part to part; then how much corn, oats, rice, etc. Your table will be something like this: Foop Propucrs oF EUROPE COUNTRY Austria Belgium Bulgaria Czecho- Slovakia Denmark Great Britain Russia WHEAT little much much some little some in southeast much In south CoRrN none none much none none none little in south OaTe little much little much much some much in center Fill out each of the other columns in the same wav. > Give each country credit for the amount of food which it raises by count- ing “ much” as equal to 3, “some ” as equal to 2, “little” as 1, and “none” as 0.
