Ford's films of the 'thirties forcefully present the emotions of individuals. Lighting idealizes the actors' faces and bodies to yield the essence of a sentiment.

Major advances in farming-such as the use of high-yield wheat strains in Asia, improved fertilizer and increased irrigation-have coincided with successive years of beneficent weather to produce a bumper crop of wheat. India and Pakistan, both traditional grain customers, have increased wheat production by 40% since 1966 and are now near self-sufficiency. The total stock in wheat-producing nations is 51 million metric tons, or almost the same amount of wheat that has been exported annually in world trade...
