The rye belt runs along the northern border of the wheat belt. Rye can grow where the land is too poor to produce wheat, and the growing season is too short and too cool. and the raising of oats. Find two sections in which the two maps do not agree. Can you decide what cereals are fed to horses in these regions ? Oats are a favorite crop in the corn belt not only because they are needed to feed the many horses on corn farms, but also because the two crops do not interfere with each other in demanding attention from the farmers. Dats are sown in the early spring before it is safe to plant corn, and are harvested before the corn is ripe. Which states lie in both the corn and the oats belt? What European country stands next to the United States in total pro- duction of oats? Why? (Fig. 40.) F. l. 3 Why rye is the poor man’s bread. In the north temperate zone rye is known as the poor man’s crop, for it is made into the black bread which is eaten by the working people throughout Europe. It will grow in soil too poor and in regions too cold for most cereals. In what part of Europe is it grown most extensively ? Find out what black bread tastes and looks like. Ask a baker if he ever sells any bread made wholly of rye. Why do Americans use so little black bread? Why does Russia raise more than half of the world’s rye crop?
