1 Scale: I = very good; 2 = good; 3 — average; 4 = poor; 5 = very poor. 



2 Scale : 100 = very good ; 80 = good ; 60 = fairly good. 



3 Percentages of a "standard" condition. The condition of the crop at the same 

 time last year was 82*15. 



The following supplementary information is also given : — 



Austria (May 15th). — Although the temperature at the beginning of 

 May was very low, good rains have fallen, and wheat is well developed. 

 The general condition of wheat is better than for last month. Rye, 

 however, has suffered from the abnormal weather conditions. 



Hungary (May 28th). — In the greater part of the country, winter 

 crops are well developed. As regards harvest prospects for winter 

 wheat, very diverse opinions prevail; however, in general, the reports 

 state that a good average harvest may be expected. 



Denmark. — The weather is good, but in Jutland the winter crops 

 are thin and low. 



Switzerland. — Winter cereals are a little backward on account of a 

 cold spring, but the outlook is good. Some damage from storms has 

 been reported. Here and there rust has been announced. 



The condition of spring crops is normal. Damage from hail and 

 rust is reported in certain districts.
