CROPS YIELDING WELL
IN MOST OF EUROPE
Excellent Reports From Fields Except
a Shortage in France and in
Part Of Russia.

Harvest which Is now In progress in
Europe, affords much encouragement
according 10 the report on European
crop conditions made by the Department
of Agriculture today. Favorable weather
has attended the harvest, with the i'm
porJalI exceptions that over large areas
in the south Of Russia work has been
seriously delayed and crops damaged by
excessive ran or rain, and thar a large
portion of the Italian wheat crop has
been impaired in quality from a like
cause.
While the quality of the wheat crop of
France is good, the report says that the
yield is sure 10 be short Of last years.
The exact reverse IN regard TO both
quality and quantity exists IN italy. Ex-
CeIleur crop reports are received from
Spain. A tone of satisfaction exists IN
Germany over all the crops. In Russia
the prospects are not SO good. All the
cereal crops dctcriGr1ted during July.
and the general opinion is that the Yield
viii be less than last year. Good crops
are expected in England, Austria, and
Hungary.
