Prospects On Crops Improved Across Regions
Government analysts say rain improved crop prospects in much of the U S grain area and brightened outlook in other food regions. Topsoil moisture remains adequate east of the Rockies but subsoil reserves are short in the North Central states. Global notes show rain aiding crops in Western Europe and the Soviet Union, while China reports uneven precipitation for winter wheat. Planting of spring grains lags in several states with Missouri at 83 percent and North Dakota Minnesota just beginning. Cotton planting progresses in several states though rain and cool weather slow gains. Texas cotton at 4 percent planted versus 11 percent a year ago.
