from Agricultural Review of the Year 1922
The good returns of India, Canada and the United States have provided 42.8 million metric tons of wheat this season, or 17 per cent over those of 1921. The European deficiency and that in North Africa is thus compensated, and it appears probable that the wheat yield of the whole northern hemisphere will, at the very least, prove equal to that of last year. The European yield of wheat in 1922 is 25.3 million metric tons, or 81 per cent of that in 1921; that of rye is 16.8 million (92.9 per cent of last year's); the barley yield is 11.4 million (102 per cent of that in 1921) and the production of oats is 18.9 million (99 per cent of last year's).
