stance probably points out that the cultivation of oats has been carried
to an excess and has consequently exhausted the land. An
analogous circumstance is that rye in many places gives a poor crop in
those provinces where the cultivation of rye is most generally carried on.
The weight per hectoliter of Swedish cereals seems, in general, to
be pretty high. The official statistics of the crops give the following
results for låte years, in kilograms8:
Average. ^eat" ^Jy™’" Barley- Oats. Mixed corn. Pease.
1871 80 (approx.)...... 781 718 63 5 46 9 55 0 79-2
1881/90 .................. 78 1 72-4 63’8 474 54 6 78 8
1891/00 .................. 78 1 72 7 63 5 48 1 56 1 79-3
These figures are higher, in the case of oats especially, than those
usually given for most other countries. The same remark holds good, in a
certain degree, for barley, if we disregard Northern Sweden, the average
weight of barley per hectoliter in the seven most northern Lftns of
Sweden, in the years 1874/93, being but 57-1 kilograms, while in
