The northern Great Plains retained a snowcover at weeks end. —South America. Showers New for B 2 brought additional moisture to Brazil’s soybean area. The major portion of the crop is still in the pod-filling-stage although an in creasing proportion is reaching maturity.

Winter gram areas of southern Belorussia and the western Black Soils also received beneficial precipitation with relatively dry weather prevailing elsewhere. Temperatures for dormant wmter grams went from below normal early in the week to above normal late in the week. No potential winterkill conditions were reported over the region. -Mexico.Timely light rams over the extreme Northeast should help germinate recently-planted corn and gram sorghum.
