Born on July 29, 1883, Mussolini gained a reputation for bullying and fighting during his childhood. At age 10 he was expelled from a religious boarding school for stabbing a classmate in the hand, and another stabbing incident took place at his next school. He also admitted to knifing a girlfriend in the arm.
Rice. Rice, the nation's major crop, was grown by about threequarters of all farm households in the early 1980s. Two main types were cultivated: dry, or upland, rice, grown predominantly in the North and Northeast; and wet rice, grown in irrigated fields throughout the central plain and in the South.
It is grown primarily in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and some in California. The harvesting of wild rice in Minnesota and Wisconsin is very labor intensive â hence its cost. The French explorers who first came across wild rice in the upper Great Lakers region had no idea that it was not a grain, but an aquatic grass seed.
