[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] some kind of grain

[Richard Benert]

Does anyone happen to know what "Welschkorn" might be, or what it might have 
been back around 1800?  The Russian government's recruitment propaganda 
included it along with wine, saffron, melons and tobacco in a list of all 
the wonderful things that would grow in the Odessa region.
