Cuban Weather
Cuban reports June ) were that ow-
ing to the abundant rains and the con
sequent bad condition of the roads,
many centrals have been forced to
stop grinding, at least temporarily,
while many of those in the western
part of the Island consider their crop
as ended and win not grind further
this season. During the week sowings
were made and lands prepared where.
ever the weather permitted. The con
ditiOn Of the fields is very good.
r. o. LIGHT report OF May u from
Germany is that general showers
brought moderate moisture to the
northwest and southern sections of
Germany, while interfering little with
field work. Beet seeding is generally
ended and the work of hoeing is most
active. Thinning of the first sowings
has commenced Reports from the
northwest, central and east Germany
are especially favorable, as these sec
tions have suffered no lack of&4ain,
and in spite of low temperatures, the
plants have made good growth.
On the whole, crop progress may be
considered satisfactory, and except for
not overcoming the previous backward.
ness, prospects are very satisfactory.
In regard to the size of the beet SOW,
ings, the Investigation of the lnterna.
tional Statistical Bureau indicates
considerable falling off However, if
one allows for the large speculative
area and the delayed answers, dc.
crease of over 20 per cent need hardly
DO expected. The beet paintings in
Belgium will be 10000 hectares this
year, against 5000 hectares last year,
and in Russia s74 900 hectares, against
S47 900 hectares.
From France comes a report dated
May that there will surely be large
decrease in sowings in France In that
part Of the country not invaded. 1t
Is estimated the decrease will be from
40 to 80 per cent.
United States Field and Factory
According to advices beet seeding
in Utah had been entirely completed
by June 7, and most of the beets had
been thinned and were in very good
shape. The weather this spring has
given nice gentle rains almost every
