FAMINE FEARS EXAGGERATED, U. 3. INDICATES

Crops Often Spared
The motorized German armie have moved over roads rather than fields in many cases, it is said here, and thus crops often were spared Mr. Roosevelt said he had heard that Europe may he facing the worst famine in history, but commented that Government agencies had been able to get little re- | liable information From what is known, the sharpest declines in wheat are expected in the Netherlands, Belgium, France Switzerland and Sweden, There will be lesser declines, it is believed in the Danube Basin and in Gé&rmanyv., England expects a bet er-than-average crop due to in creased seedings, and Italy's wheat vield will be ahout average but be low last vear's Numerous factors combined reduce the wheat crop—a winter and late spring: floods in the Danube Basin; military oper ations which damaged fields: a cline in area seeded, and a farm labor shortage due to mobilizations A Furopean wheat crop of 1,360 000.000 bushels is forecast, compared with a 1939 vield of 1.700.000.000 and a six-year average of 1.500.000.9900 bushels Favorable growing and harvesting conditions could improve these figures, Exeept in the recent occupation of Bessarabia, harvest ing has not been interfered with by military operations
