SMALLER WHEAT CROP
RAISED BY EUROPE

In a review Of the foreign crop con
ditions. European representatives. Of the
Department, Of Agriculture note a gen
eral marked decrease IN the production
of wheat, as compared with the excep-
tional@ crops last year. Increases are
expected only IN Russia and France.
The most serious losses are looked for
IN Hungary, the Balkan countries. and
Germany.
In Hungary the effect OF the poor
wheat crop may be lessened, the CORE
spondenrs say. by the substitution Of
corn.
Rye promises a fair crop in Germany,
and an overaverage yield In Russia
Barley is expected TO give a sstisfac-
tory Weld in Hungary. Germany
and Russia. but fears are expressed as
to quality. Oats promise generally TO
be the crop OF the year. Sugar beets
are reported backward.
