Reports to the Agricultural Department
from its European agent indicate that the
area of winter wheat in France is consid-
erably smaller than last years, and spring
sowings are curtailed. In Great Britain
the prospect for grazers is considered ex-
cellent, while in Germany the agrarian in
terests are supposed to be respondent,
owing to the injury to rye and wheat,
caused by unfavorable weather. Resolving
a large acreage in Belgium and Holland
kept the farmers there busy during March
Winter sowings have suffered in most of
the continental countries, and considerable
damage is admitted in Spain and Hungary
Spring field work was in arrears through
out Italy, but good crops are expected
Excellent harvests are also promised in
Algeria and Smyrna.
