HARVEST IN EUROPE
EXPECTED TO BE SMALLEST FOR DECADE. EXCEPT IN GREAT BRITAIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON, July 14. The Department of Agriculture said that on the basis of the meagre advices available, Europe’s 1940 wheat crop will be the smallest for a decade, although the anticipated yield is only about ten per cent under the average crop. The forecast of the crop is 1,360 million bushels for the whole of Europe, compared with last year’s bumper crop of 1,700 million bushels and the average of 1,500 million bushels over the period from 1930 to 1934. Except for the recent occupation of Bessarabia, it appears that harvesting operations have not been notably hindered by military activities. It is noted that, owing to increased seedings, the British Isles are expecting a crop above the average.
