PARIs.-so good is the French
crop outlook for this year that agri-
cultural experts believe the wheat
harvest will come close to meeting
the nations full requirements for
the following year. This improve
ment, as compared with last year, is
due in some degree to the increased
use of motor-driven farm equipment.
According to official figures, more
| than 12,350,000 acres have been sown
with wheat. The department Of ag-
riculture estimates that this should
| produce 26,000,00O bushels, leaving
only about 100000 bushels to be
imported. aLst year the home crop
was so small that 100000 bus els
had to be imported.
The bumper crop is expected to
save France no less than 5000, 000,-
900 francs, and may even have no
ticeably favorable effect on the eX-
change situation.
