German Paintings Decrease
F. o. LIGHT reports on conditions in
Germany May 7, as follows:
During the past week warm, sunny
days have been the rule, with cdld
nights, at times quite cold A little
rain fell on two days, except in the
southwest. Under these conditions field
work made good progress everywhere.
On average soils beet seeding is nearly
ended. In spite of the cool nights, the
sun has been able to thoroughly warm
| the soil in the day, so that the socd is
sprOuting in satisfactory manner, and
in many important sections the grcrn
leaves now mark the rows. A f.: OF
the previously visible back wardnr has
been made up, but to hasten growth the
considerable drying of the soil, which
has resulted from the wind aud sun
should be stopped by good rains which
are now generally desired, especially in
central and east Germany. Also los,
marked differences between the da>
and night temperatures would prove ' al
liable.
Regarding the size Of the beet SOW
in the news is now becoming more rc
liable, and while not yet sufficient for
complete estimate, still in every case
it goes to indicate a considerable fail
ing off from last year. Especially in
many sections near the frontiers de
creasos of 40 per cent are frequently
expected, and everywhere the prices Of
fered for grain and potatoes are prov.
ing more attractive than those offered
for beets, so that a general decrease in
beet sowings of at least 20 per cent
from last year is now expected.
