THE CULTIVATION OF CEREALS.
Total Cereal Crops, yearly averages.
63 III. RURAL HUSBANDRY.
1841—60.
23 389 000 quintals
per hectare at the beginning of the 19th century, to 15 quintals during 1906—10.
This increase has, too, been a very regular one, declining only during the
decade 1861—70 and the quinquennial period 1901—05, this decline in each
case being due to the small yields — bordering on almost total failure of the
crops — that occurred in two years in each period.
If the cereal crop per hectare be taken as a measure of the standard of
agriculture, it will be shown that, when compared with other countries (Table
13), Sweden, with an average crop during the years 1901—10 of 13’6 quintals
of wheat, rye, barley, and oats, is, in this respect, considerably above the
Proportional Crops of the Four Principal Cereals. By weight.
About 1560. Tears 1801—20. Years 1901-10.
6 620 000 quintals
12 043 000 quintals
