tinuously favorable moisture supplies
in most of the states. AS result
of the low abandonment and prospec
tive high yields the crop promises tc
total nearly 647,0OO,0OO bushels, OF
only 25,000,000 bushels less than was
harvested in 1941 and about 1900, 600
bushels above the 1930-39 average.
The seeding of spring wheat is
nearly completed and the crop is do
ing well generally. Much of the crop
is up to good stands and growing we'll
with growth reported rank in South
Dakota.
Warm, dry weather during most of
the week enabled Canadian farmers to
push seeding operations in Saskatch-
evan and Manitoba. In Alberta where
spring precipitation was below nor
NAL, heavy rains greatly improved the
crop outlook. Seeding is well adj
vanced in Alberta about half COM
pleted in Saskatchewan and we'll un-
der way in Manitoba. According to
farmers intentions as of April 80, the
total wheat area for 1912 will be
about 21,313,000 acres, a reduction of
about go from the area sown in 1941.
The area to be summer fallowe1 in
the Prairie Provinces in 1912 will be
1870 lower than 1941. AS a result a
notable increase is indicated in bar
ley and flax seeding and some in
crease in the oats crop.
Widespread rains were received in
Europe which relieved the dryness in
western sections of that continent.
Temperatures remained low over a
large part of the country and winter
and spring crops are still backward
because of the cold, dry weather.
Available trade reports indicate below
average harvests in Italy, an unfavor-
able crop outlook in Germany and be-
low average prospects in Norway,
Denmark, and Finland. Moisture sup
plies are generally satisfactory in the
Danube Basin but the acreage planted
