Marouani. " This wheat is cultivated extensively on the elevated rolling lands in 

 the western part of the province, and is one of the best of the types of durum wheats

 rather droughtv conditions. ' The grain is especially adapted for the manufacture of

 valuable sort, ripening ten to fifteen days earlier than the Marouani and similar
