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.
History of rice cultivation Oryza sativa was domesticated from the wild grass Oryza rufipogon roughly 10,000â14,000 years ago. The two main subspecies of rice â indica (prevalent in tropical regions) and japonica (prevalent in the subtropical and temperate regions of East Asia) â are not believed to have been derived from independent domestication events.
