62 THE WHEAT INDUSTRY 



as in parts of California and Spain, the harvest is 

 prolonged and not marked by any great haste. 

 Since the kind of wheat grown, club type, does 

 not shatter nor lodge readily, it is allowed to stand 

 for weeks after ripening. The grower in such 

 places takes holidays at his pleasure and is not 

 worried over possible losses. Needless to add, 

 there festal occasions and Sundays are diligently 

 observed. 



Wheat is being harvested somewhere all the 

 time. The United States Crop Reporter presents 

 the following interesting table, which shows the 

 time succession in the harvest of the world's 

 wheat crop. Note where your state belongs and 

 what countries harvest at the same time. Also 

 note where the harvest is in full swing at the 

 time you are reading this.
