prognostCators who base their yield
on weather data are not enthusiasts
among the big crop people.
During several weeks the belt has
enjoyed most splendid weather, and the
outlook Is particularly encouraging in
the western half of the belt. There Is

favorable weather has overcome all the
and that in the absence Of
continued unfavorable conditions the

have imposed very difficult job on
Che weather god. consequently they
now contend that over a large area the
plant Is smaller than normal for this
time Of year"
