I lH Tho Uullotln dea Hallos (Paris) H contains the following statement con- HAg cernlng the cultivation of spelt in Germany: The southwest of tho Gor- BAH man Empire has Its own peculiar BH grain, spelt, whllo In the north, the BAH center, and In Uavarla wheat ts tbe special object of cultivation. Spelt IhH (Trltlcum spelta L.) Is oxtonslvely mHI cultivated especially In Wurtombcrg, HAg In tho regions bordorlng on tho Grand Duchy of Hadon, In Alsaco, In Swltz- orland, and tn Davarlan Suabla. In Wurtemburg especially Bpolt (spcltx, H dinkel, flnkorn) Is used almost ox- HAa cluslvely In the making of bread. H Spelt Is very much like wheat and Its H flour ts placed In the samo rank with H wheat flour. It differs from wheat, however, In that tho operation of thrashing falls to remoe tho outer covering from the grains. Spelt must, therefore, necessarily bo hulled HAg In special mills before being mar- kotod. It ts a rather curious and In- tercsttng fact that In Franco, as Id M tho other Latin countries, and lu BAH England, whent occupies first place H among corcals used for breadmaklng, M but that tho cultivation of spelt as H tho picdomlnant coreal Is confined to tho clearly limited region specified |
