Present and former Produce of Wheat in France,"lrein
which it appeared that 40 years ago the amount of wheat
annually grown in France was sufficient (reckoning
the population at that time at '25 millions, from which
five millions are to be deducted for children under ten
years of age) to give to each person 583.b5. of %%beat pef
annum, or 1 lb. 9oz. of bread daily, after taking
'away the wheat necessary for seed for the ensuing yeAr.
The 'population, since the period here referred to, hds

the land brought into cultivation since the Revolutinis
has been chiefly laid out for vineyards, leguminalts
plants, and potatoes.
