RAIN AND SUN
 PRODUCE CROPS FOR RUSSIANS
Bountiful Crops Are Indicated Throughout Volga and
 Central Russia.

MOSCOW, Aug 3.-Mother Nature appears to be trying to make up 10 Russia for what she did to her last year. Accurate estimates of the grain crop of 1922 still are lacking, but from nearly every province re- ports pour in to Moscow that not in many years have such growing crops been seen.
 When rains were needed they came this spring in profusion that made up for last years drouth. When sunshine was necessary it was on hand. Unless some unprecedented weather condition develops between now and the time of the harvest, practically every bushel of seed that was planted last autumn and this spring seems sure to bear fruit.
 Rye fields higher than a mans head, the ears fairly dropping with kernels, are waving and browning throughout the Volga and Central Russia. while the wheat is coming up in good shape in Siberia and the Ukraine. Potatoes and other vegeta- bles are flourishing. Cattle which looked like skeletons in the winter are fattening on rich green pasture land
 In some localities stricken last year by the drouth an unusual phenome- nom has been noticed. Grain sown in the spring of 1921, which failed to sprout at all last summer, has come up this year to swell the small sowings which were available in the spring of 1922 In other places. where the grain was so short and undeveloped last autumn as to be un- worthy of harvesting, these dwarf plants dropped their seed and this. too. has sprouted under the rains and sunshine.
 Generally speaking, the ground
