However, the estimated rape harvest is about 7 000 tonnes or 70 % higher than in the previous year. The harvest prospects are extremely uneven in the area of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Some areas even have record yields, in some areas quite small yields are in prospect. In assessing these figures, it should be borne in mind that this is a first forecast, which took place at a time when the cereals and rapeseed were still on the stalk. In addition, the voluntary seeds=stands- and harvest rapporteurs gave their verdict on the assumption that the weather conditions develop normally until the recovery of the harvest. For clover, lucerne and meadows, as was not expected otherwise, the first cut with l.4 million t is unusually small. It remains around approx. 40 % lower than the previous year's result. Particularly bad was the hay harvest in the Upper Land Council district of Brno, best in the Ober= Landrat districts of Königgrätz and Mähr.Ostrau. a boag Pll 11 4.AUG. 1943 Rates: ANO 0 A 8859
