WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rainfall
is delaying fell field work, winter
grain planting and slowing early
growth in several parts of fee
world, according to a weekly
report issued by the Joint
Agricultural Weather Facility of
the U.S. Departments of Com
merce and Agriculture. Harvest
activity in the United States and
Canada continued in mostly fair
weather.
Highlights of fee report follow.
USSR. Heavy rain probably
delayed soil preparation and in
terrupted winter grain sowing in
some parts of west European
USSR. More rain than is normal
for the entire month of August fell
last week, damaging maturing
com in parts of central European
USSR. In fee east, above-normal
temperatures and only modest
rainfall aided spring grain har
vesting. Widespread rains likely
interrupted the spring grain
harvest in fee eastern New Lands,
while dry conditions helped ac
celerate the harvest in the west.
United States. Fair weather
helped harvest and fall field work,
especially in the Pacific Northwest
and Great Plains. Beneficial rain
fell over much of the eastern half
of the country, but locally heavier

Europe. Continued moderate
rain probably delayed the winter
grain harvest in central Europe.
Dry weather and near-normal
temperatures benefited maturing
spring grains in England and final
winter grain harvesting in France.
In eastern Europe, above-normal
rain and below-normal tem
peratures likely delayed harvest
efforts and possibly reduced the
quality of unharvested grain. The
moisture should help winter grains
which will be sown shortly,
however.
Canada. Crop harvests
progressed well, especially in fee
western Prairies. High humidity
and showers in eastern Saskat
chewan and Manitoba slowed
harvest work somewhat in eastern
crop areas, possibly reducing
grain quality overall. Weekly
rainfall amounts were light except
in extreme northern crop areas of
Alberta and Saskatchewan and
southwestern Manitoba.
Mexico. Dry conditions
persisted in northeastern Mexico
which probably will reduce fruit
size in unirrigated orchards. Wet

weather continued over southern
citrus areas. Moderate rainfall
aided maturing com in the
southern plateau, and mostly dry
weather aided fee cotton harvest to
the north.
Australia. Light showers fell
only on southern coastal areas and
eastern Queensland as dry
weather prevailed in major wheat
areas. The rainfall in eastern
wheat regions generally improved
topsoil short from dry
August weather. Conditions are
still favorable for early vegetative
growth in all five wheat-producing
states. In September, spring
growth will become more active as
temperatures rise, and early
maturing wheat will enter the
critical heading stage in fee north.
South America. Beneficial
rain fell on Brazil’s wheat areas.
Dry weather further north con-
to pose problems for frost
damaged coffee trees. Virtually no
rain fell in Argentina’s major
wheat areas, but below-normal
temperatures kept crop growth at
a minimum. Spring rains will be
needed for adequate cfop moisture
as warmer weather accelerates
growth.

heavy rains probably hampered
flood recovery efforts in the
Sichuan Province. Drier weather
in central China helped maturing
early soybeans and cotton as well
as the com harvest Rain along the
south coastal areas hampered the
harvest of. intermediate rice, and
filling of late-maturing rice. Rain
in the' Manchurian Valley may
have delayed the cotton harvest
and maintained unfavorably wet
conditions for soybean develop
ment. Winter wheat planting will
begin shortly in Henan, Shandong
and surrounding Provinces.
Southeast Asia. Substantial
rain fell in much of eastern
Thailand, while - below-normal
amounts were recorded in fee
northern highlands and Central
Plains. Heavy rainfall in Burma’s
southeast coastal area aggravated
flooding in lice areas. Sugarcane
in western Thailand benefited
from dry weather. .
South Asia. Soil moisture
supplies in Gujarat and north
centrarindia should be adequate
for rice and groundnuts growth. A
return of dry weather last week
stressed cotton' now in the
flowering stage in the north. Un
favorable dryness also stressed
cotton and rice in Rajasthan and
central India. Moderate rain over
the south peninsula and east costal
areas aided rice growth, while
conditions were too wet over
Assam.
