ML MM EUROPE CROPS Wheat Production 100,000,000 Bushels Below Last Year, AH Winter Grain Got Bad Start and Harvest Promises Only Middling. Washington, July 22.--This year's European wheat crop will be 100,000,- 600 bushels short of that of last year, according to a report to the Department of Commerce by Alfred Dennis, who is making a special investigation of European food conditions for the department. All winter grain, says the report, got a bad start and the harvest promise* no better than middling, generally speaking. Great Britain's outlook is satisfactory, though it was low last year.. Italy and Hungary will show a 20 per cent decrease and France and Germany fifteen per cent off. Spain will have an average yield. In the Balkans there will be a better harvest than was expected early in the season. The seeded areas of Russia and the condition of plant growth are much higher than anticipated some weeks ago. Maturing grain and vegetable ^rrops will be sufficiently ample to give Russia a minimum food supply and prevent a repetition of last winter's famine. European food production which fell off two-thirds of normal had gradually Increased since 1917 until this year. The decrease will tend to augment iifr ports from America, Dennis stated. Germany is consuming much less breadstuff's than before the war, the average daily consumption per person dropping from 490 grams to 270. The Germans are substituting potatoes and other vegetables for cereals. Recent rains have Improved the German po> tato crop and benefited all othei German crops. SAYS LENINE IS NOT DEAD M.
