Harvest Months of the World
EXCEPTING the months of November and December, harvest is always going on somewhere on the globe. In January reapers are busy in most of Chile, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand. Harvest is in full swing throughout the East Indies in February and March. April sees the fields of Mexico, Egypt, Persia, and Syria being cut. The merry month of May is thus used in Morocco and Texas. California, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sicily, Greece, and part of southern France reap in June. The greater part of the United States and France, Austria, and southern Russia are stripped in July. August is the harvest month in England, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, the Northeastern States of America, and part of Russia and Canada. Scotland, Sweden, Norway, the northern midlands of Russia, and the greater portion of Canada are glad to shear in September. And October beholds the reapers in the most northerly districts of Russia, Norway, and Sweden gathering with endless trouble their scanty crops.—Selected.
