FOREIGN CROPS
The September Bulletin, issued by
the Agricultural department on for
eign crops, says in part:
Tentative official estimates of the
1911 cereal production of Canada,
France and Russia, issued by the gov
ernments of those countries during
September, indicates increases in the
Canadian and French wheat crops
of 56 million and 56 million bushels
respectively, as compared with yields
finally reported in 1910, but a de
crease in the Russian crop, as sug
gested by appearances in- the bloom-1
ing season, of 146 million bushels.
Up to date provisory estimates
of their 1911 wheat crop have been
issued by eight foreign governments
of the Northern Hemisphere, which
usually produce near two-thirds of
the so-called wheat crop of the world.
The estimates compared with dual
ones of the same countries in 1910,
show an Increase of 47,226,000 bush
els.
In Europe, as a whole, the 1911
wheat yield is in volume doubtless
much above the average, and the ex
cellence of quality, at least in the
western and central parts of the Con
tinent, has seldom, if ever, been
surpassed. The average annual Eu
ropean crop during the past five
years (1906-1910) was 1,795 million
bushels, of which 1,237 million hush
els were .mown in the western and
central states and 568 million bush
els in 63 governments of European
Russia. As is well known, wheat cul
tivation in the last-named country has
within the past two years undergone
great expansion; in 1010, out of a to
tal continental production of 1,
--924 million bushels, western and cen
tral Europe raised 1.22.", million and
European Russian 690 million.
Enough la officially known of
the 1911 prospect in Europe to
| make it reasonably certain that
I the west and center will this
year produce 125 to 150 million
j more than the five-year average, so
j that, should the Russian crop attain
: even average proportions, or amount
to about 560 million bushels, the to
tal European output will vary little
from that of last year. In this connec
tion it is interesting to note that the
I recently published estimate of the
j Russian government puts the 1911
j yield in 73 governments of European
and Asiatic Russia at 620 million
'bushels, as indicated by the appear
ance of the plants in blooming sea
| son. Last year appearances of the
plants it the same date were Inter
preted as indicating a crop of 682 mil
lion bushels; the yield as finally de
termined, however, amounted to 776
. million, of which 76 million was the
i product of Asiatic Rusla.
The excellent quality of the grain
; in western and central Europe is due
; largely to the dry and hot weather,
. which, setting in before and contin
uing through harvest, created almost
Ideal conditions for the Ingathering ol
i winter cereals. The prolong of
, the drought Into late August or early
.! September, however, was productive
of disastrous results. Almost tropl
! cal heat and deflcent moisture parch
ed and blighted autumn-maturing
vegetation over practically all
the western and central states.
Meadows and pastures were, in
many parts, burned up. Pros
pects for average yields of po
tatoes and sugar beets were ren
dered hopeless, and prices have at
tained a higher level than has been
reached in several years. The expect
ed output of«turnips, mangolds and
fodder beets, Important factors in the
European supply of animal food, was
heavily diminished. Corn, which in
Europe ordinarily yields upward of
600 million bushels annually, is be
lieved quantitatively under average;
the French and Austrain fields. have
suffered from the drought; the Ital
ian crop is unofficially estimated 25
to 30 per cent short; and Hungary,
tin most Important producer in Eu
rope, reports her probable production
57 million bushels less than last year.
The hop crop, principally because
Of serous deficiencies in Austria and
'.ermany, is said to promise scarce
75 per cent of the outturn of the pre
ceding year. Grapes were improved
in quality by sunshine and drought,
and vintages in the great wine-pro
ducing countries France, Italy and
Spain— will, it is believed, be about
average in quantity, but on the whole,
probably of superior quality. The 3
countries produce in average years,
an aggregate of 3 billion gallons. In
1910 a partial failure of the crop
reduced their outturn to about 1,
--800,000,000.
Canada
The census and statistics office of
the Dominion department of agricul
ture issued September 15 a report on
the August 31 condition of the fields
of Canada and an estimate, computed
n the area sown, of the production of
spring wheat, oats and barley. The
per cent condition of spring -wheat
was given as 86.80, oats 84.44, and
barley 84.73, as compared respective
ly with 79.05, 80.03 and 80.51 per
cent in September 1910. The condi
tion of the other crops was generally
lower than in 1909 and ranged from
80 to 86 per cent. August rains are
said to have retarded ripening of cer
eals, and bail, frost, and rust to have
done some injury. Frosts occurred
late in the month in the western pro
vinces and probably lowered the con
dition of wheat, barley and oats there
y 12 per cent.
The Dominion's total oat crop is
put at 368,153,000 bushels, against
323,449,000 million bushels as finally
estimated last year. Of the oats, 204,
--758,000 bushels were produced in the
three western provinces.
Barley, according to the September
report, lias yielded 51,559,000 bush
els in the entire Dominion, as compar
ed with an outturn, as finally estimat
ed, of 18,000 bushels last year.

Unbroken smut balls moat be removed from seed wheat, as no method
