The steady spread and developmen of Indian maize Into a world crop hat been the agricultural marvel of out age. The corn of the Bible, the corr of Great Britain, Is our wheat, not oul "king crop." But all the world hat come to know and bless the generout grain. Though upward of S6 per cent of the 3,500.000,000 of the 3,750.000.00< bushels, which constitute the world’f yield, is grown In this country, Argen tlna, Hungary and Italy, yet the culti vatlon of corn has been gradually dlf fused around the globe. Next to our western hemisphere anf Europe the most Important areas ar« now planted in southern and south eastern Asia, chiefly in British India French Indo-Chfna and the Philip pines. In 1910 the Philippine croi amounted to 14,276,846 bushels. Th« culture of corn Is now general in Af rica. It is the Egyptian fellah's stafi of life, and Is even produced for ex­ port in the Union of South Africa where the pivduct is known as "mea lies.” In Mexico the tortilla, prepared from the grain, is the chief food of the masses. Canada and Cuba raise com and It is grown in a small way ir Australia and New Zealand. Save in Ireland. It is rarely used as humar food throughout northern Europe. Outside of the United States the cul tlvatlon of corn is most extensive lr southern Europe—centralized In s group of states comprising Africa, Hungary. Roumanla, the Balkan states and Bessarabia. In southwest Russia —where the production ranges from 500,000,000 to 600,000.000 bushels an nually. Corn Is not only our king crop, it is also an uncertain and variable one Last year, for instance, there was » great decline In the world yield. Th« aggregate product of the four leading countries was more than 550.000,000 bushels less than the crop of 1910 and 200.000,000 bushels short of th« returns for 1909. The yield in 1911 It the United States was about 355 000, i 000 bushels and in Argentina about 148,000,000 bushels less than in 1910 There were relative shortages ir Hungary and Italy.
