CROPS IN DANGER
ARGENTINA'S PLIGHT RAIN URGENTLY NEEDED (Received August 21, 8.35 p.m.) BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 20 The grain crops in Argentina are faced with disaster unless abundant rains fall in the immediate future, according to a Government report issued to-day. The condition of growing wheat, oats, barley and ryo is described as poor, owing to a prolonged drought. The damage has been aggravated by continuous frosts of unusual intensity. The crops in most sections of the country are still in a condition to respond beneficially to rains, but these must occur immediately.
