Cereal Farming 3 QUESTIONS, EXERCISES, AND PROBLEMS 4. lL. Where wheat is cultivated. From 1916 to 1920 the ten leading wheat states were Washington, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Okla- homa, Indiana, and Ohio. Divide these states into four groups on the basis of climatic conditions. See Figures 3, 4, and 6. 2 Discuss each group with reference to (a) time when wheat is sown, (b) relief, (c) methods of cultivation, and (d) position in reference to markets. Rearrange the states according to production of wheat. (See Agriculture Year Book.) 3 Wheat is so valuable that almost every country raises at least a little. The times of harvest in the wheat regions vary as follows : Australia, New Zealand, Chile India, Upper Egypt Lower Egypt, Persia, Mexico Texas, China, Japan, Algeria California, Kansas, Tennessee, Virginia, Spain, southern France, Italy, Greece, Turkey Vashington, Oregon, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, southern England, Germany. southern Russia The Dakotas, Minnesota, southern Canada. Holland, Belgium, northern England Parts of western Canada, Scotland, Norway. Sweden, northern Russia Peru, South Africa Argentina, Burma, New South Wales On a world map make a chart to show where wheat is harvested during cach month. 3 5) - / o Q Plan a journey lasting throughout the year so that all your time on land will be spent in a country where the wheat crop is being harvested. Write your plan in your notebook. Show the class, by means of a wall map of the world, where you would be during each month of the year and how you would get from one country to another. Be sure to make a reason- able estimate of the time required to travel from one place to another. In Bolivia, Morocco, Spain, the Balkan states, and Turkey, wheat farm- ing is carried on almost entirely by hand labor. What conditions may help to account for this fact? (Consult relief maps.) Why is wheat grown in northern China, but not in southern China? Explain why there are no large wheat farms in eastern China (Fig. 176). Compare Figure 38 with Figures 17 and 18. What do you find to be the general northern limit of wheat growing? the southern limit ?
