States, the composite coudition on
all crops September l being 1Ol per
cent below averge conditions ou Sept
ember l of recent years (mostly ten
year averages), whereas on August |
conditions were 6.2 per cent below
the August l average. Compared with
a year ago, prospects at this time
are about 1872 per cent poorer. Last
year crop prospects steadily imprOv
ed as the season advanced, final out
turn being the largest on record. on
