Cereal Crop Prospects and Live Stock 
Returns 
The Statistical Burean of the Interna¬ 
tional Institute of Agriculture at. Rome 
announces in its monthly bulletin that the 
conditions of the cereal crops continue 
fairly favorable in West Furope. United 
State*?. Japan and in Xorthern Africa. 
The aggregate AY in ter sowings cover a 
fully average area in Belgium. Bulgaria. 
France. Spain. Finland. Great Britain 
and Norway. Prospects of t he wheat crop 
in British India has slightly improved, 
hut the area is only 75 per cent of the 
average. Ocean rates of freight for grain 
•have further declined in February, with 
the exception of those from Argentina. 
Returns of live stock in Prussia indi¬ 
cate an increase during 1920 of five per 
cent in cattle. 15 per cent in sheep ami 
24 per cent in pigs. In the United States 
cattle decreased by four per cent and pigs 
by seven per cent during the same year. 
Returns now published concerning the 
first live stock census in India show that 
the number of cattle was 146.000.000 in 
April last.
