The composite condition of all crops of the United States on June 1 was about per cent above their 10-year average condition on that date. Last year the June 1 condition of all crops was per cent below the 10-year average, but prospects declined as the season advanced, the November, or final, reports last year being per cent below the 10-year average. Consequently, present conditions are about per cent better than the outturn of crops last year. TIME OF ISSUANCE AND SCOPE OF JULY CROP REPORTS.
