can rye. Winter killing in Germany
according to the semi-official reporfs
is heavier than any year since 1924
when abandonment was estimated at
1l.9 per cent of the acreage sown and
the resulting crop was the smallest

consuming countries resulted in an oc-
tive export demand for United Stateo
rye and prices at Chicago advanced
