Buckwheat In Europe.

In some part Of continental Europe,
buckwheat is a common crop, espe-
cially In northeastern Germany and
In Brittany, France. In these districts
the soil is rather poor. but In such soil
buckwheat will thrive. When used as
human food in these countries. the
flour is usually made into a pottage.
In England buckwheat is little grown
except as food for pheasants.
