The great arid wastes of Persia
would lead one to believe that the
country does not produce sufficient
grain to supply the needs of it's pop
ulation. Such. however, is not the
case and considerable quantities OF
grain are exported each year. The
principal grains grown are wheat,
barley and rice. Corn is planted in
small quantities. but is only used for
roasting ears. Oats and y are sell
dom sown. Except along the Caspian
coast, Persian agriculture is depen-
dem almost entirely on irrigation. The
agricultural implements used in Per
STA are of the most primitive kind.
Plows are made from forks of small
trees with the addition Of a share of
iron. 1t is stated to be doubtful, how
ever, whether the yield of grain would
be greatly increased by using moder
plows, as there Is no sod and this
crude implement Gems to stir the soil.
