CHINA'S CROP PREDICTION More Than Average Yield Expected Flood Damage In Kwangtung
Nanking, July 15. The one bright spot in China's otherwise dismal
picture is this year's crop prediction, which agricultural experts say should bring a better- than-average yield. Despite spotty conditions in some provinces and the usual localised famine areas in others, the overall expectation is for a rice and grain yield at least equal to or larger than last year's average crop, Reports from Szechwan province, frequently call- ed China's breadbasket because of its sub- stantial contributions to the nation's food stocks, sav spring crops of rice and grains were "exceptionally excellent." with every expecta- tion of even more satisfactory production from the summer season.

Nationalist generals frequent- ly avowed that their strategy was to hit the main Communist strength, but no far the Com- munists have been reluctant to meet In pitched battles. Armles advancing en masse along a long line might win some cities but Communist forces always managed to filter through to the Nationalist rear. Ал а го- stalt in practically all cases they have been bogging down the Nationalist offensive.
The bale in Shantung was 21 striking example. Every time the government troops started a new offensive and cap- tured, several Communist-held cities, they found that tho towns previously captured by them were being threatened by. new Communist action,
