[XX]     under corn—

[XX]     (C.P.B 1- 192) Lindley quotes from Schoww in Jameson’s

[XX]     Phil. Journal 1815—, "it appears that in respect

[XX]     of the predominating kinds of grain, the earth may

[XX]     be divided into 6 grand divisions, or kingdoms.,

[XX]     The kingdom of Rice, of Maize, of Wheat,

[XX]     of Rye, and lastly of Barley & Oats., The first

[XX]     3 are the most extensive; the maize has the

[XX]     greatest range of temperature; but Rice may

[XX]     be said to support the greatest number of

[XX]     the human race." — "Ana is the native

[XX]     country of the rice, & America of Maize."
