THIS YEAR'S CROPS, The Germans try to maintain that the stoppage of Roumanian supplies will be more than counter-balanced by the increased yield of this year's harvest. It is true that, in spite of bad weather, the crops have not suffered to the extent expected, and the harvest is certainly better than the very bad one last year, but, at best, the yield is not more than a good average one. There is no ground for believing that Germany has been favoured with record there are sound reasors for saying, that crops; indeed, they are below the average.
