Crops of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, 

 1920-1921. 



The latest bulletin received from the International Institute of Agriculture, 

 J»omo (P'obruary, 1921), furnishes all information available at the time concern- 

 inp; the yields of the principal crops in the Northern Hemisphere for 1920. 

 combined with the Southern Hemisphere yields of 1920-21. Owiiio; t/O various 

 icasons, statistics arc not nvailable from ctertain countries (notably Russia and 

 China), while several newly orf>;imized States, such as Poland and Czecho- 

 slovakia, cannot furnish comparative data for earlier years and, therefore, are 

 )iot taken into consideration. The returns obtained, however, are sufficiently 

 full to furnish a j^ood indication of the world's yield for 1920-21. As a guid(> 

 to the figures given below the total of the world's annual yield of each produce 

 is added (a compai-ative estimate on the basis of 1914-18 figures). Comparison 

 l)etween this estimate and the other figures will serve to show the relative 

 importance of the countries included in the latter in regard to the whole 

 production of the world.
