THE EUROPEAN
CROP CONDITIONS
Drouth Has Had Effect in
Limited Areas But General
Conditions Fair

Washington, July 16.-European
crop conditions. as reported to the
department Of agriculture, were made
public today in the monthly crop re-
port of the department. 1t says:
Cereal harvest, practically finished
in north Africa In June, has in its
northward progress reached the
southern latitudes of the extensive
grain areas of Europe. On that con-
tinent during this and the two sue
ceeding months harvesting operations
will, in the natural course of events,
upward of 120,000,0O0 acres of wheat,
100,00O,000 acres Of rye, 80,O00.000
acres of oats, and about 45,000,0O0
acres of barley-the four crops occu-
pying total surface the vast extent
of which is reflected in the fact that
1t is between three and four times
the combined acreage under the same
crops in the United States.
Excepting the effects of storms,
agriculture has in general made the
progress expected at this season. In
France, however, winter cereals con-
tinue in backward state and The
highest expectations are for only a
moderate crop of wheat. In Germany
rather prolonged dry spell, now
broken, seems to have had no par
ticularly serious effects. Drought has
also been repeatedly reported from
the Don and Volga regions of Russia.
Most countries have had an ample
eufficiency Of moisture and under its
influence the spring sown crops have
dourished almost everywhere"
