     そのかわりそれらの草 (くさ)の実 (み)がだんだん発育進化 (はついくしんか)して米 (こめ)や麦 (むぎ)よりもいいか、あるいは少 (すく)なくも同等 (どうとう)な穀物 (こくもつ)になりはしないか。

     Sono kawari sorera no kusa no mi ga dandan hatsuiku shinka shite kome ya mugi yori mo ii ka, arui wa sukunakumo dōtō na kokumotsu ni nari wa shinai ka.

     Instead, perhaps the development of the seeds of those grasses can be promoted faster than rice or wheat and possibly yield at least a similar grain.
