Drought Delays Wheat
Sowing in Southern
Hemisphere Nations

Wheat sowing IN important areas
of the Argentine Provinces of Bue-
nos Aires, Cordoba, Sante Fe and
the territory of LaPampa has been
retarded by lack of rain, according
to a cable to the Bureau of Agri
cultural Economics from Agricul-
tural Attache P. o. Nyhus in
Buenos Aires.
In the Provinces of Cordoba and
Santa Fe, where normally plarting
is completed by this date, probab-
ly not more than one-third of the
intended acreage has been planted
thus far. The lands are all prepar-
ed and will be sown if rain comes
but the end of July is considered
the latest advisable date for plan
ting. termination in the area al
ready sown is very poor, with the
stand in many places only a frac
tion of normal.
Similar drought conditions pre-
vail in the western part of the Pro
vince of Buenos Aires and in tn
Territory of La Pampa, the coole
parts of the grain area, says Ny
hus. Preparation of the land i
these two regions is incomplet
and it is already almost too lat
for planting.
