[Spain , owing to her geographical position, possessesthe finest climate in Europe , and has the greatest rangeof vegetable productions. All the cereals, with the ex-ception of oats, are grown in the more northern pro-vinces, and in elevated districts; while the cotton-tree,the sugar-cane, and other tropical plants, are cultivatedsuccessfully in the south and west provinces. AlthoughSpain possesses such great advantages, both in her climateand in the general fertility of her soil, the agriculture ofthe country is in a very backward condition. The pro-duction of corn is barely sufficient for home consumption.Her exports consist chiefly of articles peculiar to thecountry, such as wool, silk, wines, oil, cork-wood, dye-stuffs, &c.—J. W.]

[Maize is the object of a culture much more generalin the departments of the north and the south of Spain than rice, and constitutes a great resource for the food ofthe people. In Galicia it forms the basis of the food ofthe country people, under the name of brona , and in thoshape of loaves of large size, wliieh they have the art ofpreparing after a particular manner, and of rendering veryagreeable. At Castellon dc la Plata they prepare themaize flour after a similar manner. The maize of thesouth of Spain (which is to be found in the Exhibition),is remarkable for the tluckness of the heads. The pricesare very variable, and, it as luckily happens, have relationalways to given measures of capacity of several kinds forwhich we cannot at the present moment assign the orderof their rates correctly, nor specify any metrical equiva-lents.]
