Crop Prospects in Austria. 



Quoting from the official reports of the Austrian Ministry 

 of Agriculture for the middle of July, the Wiener Landwirt- 

 schaftliche Zeitung states that cold, rainy weather was 

 generally prevalent throughout the greater part of Austria 

 until the middle of June. But towards the end of that month 

 the weather improved, and the temperature rose considerably 

 in the Alpine as well as in the North-western Provinces, where 

 beautiful weather prevailed, with or without occasional thunder- 

 storms, and continued until the date of publication of the 

 estimates. 



Nowhere was the benefit due to the warm weather more 

 conspicuous than in the fields of rye. The rye-harvest began 

 almost simultaneously with the finer weather in the south, in 

 the central districts, and in the warmer parts of Moravia. In 

 the southern belt almost the whole of the rye was harvested, 

 as was also a considerable portion in the central districts.
