SPAIN. 



During the last five years there has been a constant te'tidency to 

 [iiig-ment the cultivation of wheat, the acreage having been steadily 

 enlarged from 9,138,000 acres in 1907 to 9,705,000 in . 1911. The 

 official estimate of the total surface sown this season is not available, 

 but, other conditions being favor.-ible, the fiscal regulations governing 

 the admission of imports of foreign wheat would tend to prevent any 

 important delimitation of acreage. Late reports on the appearance 

 of the growing crop indicate that the harvest will give scarcely 

 medium results, some districts having suffered severely from lack of 

 moisture. The revised and final official report on the olive and olive- 

 oil crop of 1911-12 is given below :
