WHEAT found its way into Mex

found few grains of something
unknown to him, in his ration OF
rice, and showed it to his master;
who ordered it planted. 1t proved
to be wheat. From Mexico the ce-
real found its way to Peru. Maria
D'Escobar, wife of Don Diego de
Chaurre, carried few grams ., 10

WELD for several successive years
Ised for seed. In Ecuador wheat
was introduced by monk Of the

the identical jar in which he kept
fine seeds is still in Quito. Wheat
