RECORD HARVEST
TO BE GATHERED IN BRITAIN POOR CROP YIELDS IN GERMANY (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, July 5.' While Britain is having a record harvest there is every indication that the Axis will have a bad harvest. The Minister of Agriculture, Mr Hudson, said: “This harvest will probably mean the best part of 100,000,000 tons. We should reap a harvest which will live in the memory of man.We are starting on the toughest harvesting job in our history. That is why we have asked for 500,000 volunteers. We shall manage only if the whole farming community produces its last ounce of effort.”
The German farm leader, Herr Gustav Behrens, speaking on Berlin radio, suggested that the German harvest will be poor and that farmers are not co-operating. The Berlin radio claimed that there was a fair harvest in the Ukraine, where the area under cultivation is claimed to be greater than when the Russians controlled the area.
A Moscow message says that the Germans are making systematic attempts to settle themselves in the Ukraine “for ever.” Several hundred thousand German civilians are estimated to have settled in the Ukraine, where boys and girls are taught how to rule the Ukrainians and fight guerillas.
