CROP REPORT

Winter rye and pasture conditions
on May first as reported by Paul C
Newman, statistician Of the United
States division of crop and livestock
estimates, are both much above av-
evage, and hay reserves are the low
est since 1918.
Rye condition is reported at 81 per
cent compared with 83 per cent
month ago, IS per cent year ago
and the ten-year average OF "a per
cent. Cool temperatures have held
back growth of rye and pasture
grasses, but there is an abundance
Of moisture. The acreage Of rye
abandoned to date in the state is
negligible.
Hay reserves on farms May first
were much below average, and but IS
per cent of, the reserves on hand a
year ago. The general shortage Of
feed during the entire winter has re-
suited in the lowest reserves Of hay
on May first since 1918 when they
were 6 per cent Of the previous years
harvested crop, the same as at pres
emit. Last years hay reserves on May
first were estimated at IL per cent
of the 1924 crop. The tcn-year aver
age is III per cent. Conditions of
tame hay is slightly above average
and very much above that reported
year ago. The present figure is 81
per cent compared with 68 per cent
a year ago. and three-year, average
of 81 per cent. Pastures, although
grcening, are making a, avefy slow
growth. The estimated condition. Is
70 per cent compared with 80 ne.
cent q year ago and ten-year aver
age Of IS per cent.

During the. period l975-l92l, there
were regular decreases in the num-
Der Of infants under one year of age
dying in the United States, particu-
larly as compared with previous
years. t8f
According to DR.. r. m. Woodbury.
of the y. 5. Children's Bureau, the
explanation is to be found in the
movement for the protection of the
health of the babies as we'll as in
the movement for general public
health protection and sanitation
More and more agencies such as
those Of the government, Of the
states and Of the cities, IS we'll as
volunteer agencies, are educating
mothers in the essential facts Of
child care. s
However, much more remains to be
done. For instance, the rate for the
United States for 1924 was 1857
deaths in each 1000 infants born, as
contrasted with q rate Of 47.82 for
New. Zealand, the, place with the
lowest infant mortality rate Of any
in the world.
It has been found that the health
and physical vitality of the mother
previous to the birth of the child
is one Of the most important factors
in determining how long the infant
lives after. birth. Indeed, if the
mother dies during the birth of the
child or shortly after, that schild is
under a considerable handicap.
Six in. every ten babies whose
mothers died within one month after
the birth of the child also died before
the end of the first year. i Infants
whose mothers were known. to have
tuberculosis had mortality of two
and one-half times that among other
infants, and over .one-third Of the
babies born to mothers who were
reported to have had convulsiops as
a complication Of pregnancy died dur
ing the first year of life. i
The interval since q preceding birth
is an important factor in infant
mortality, since it has, been found
that the mortality is much higher
when the space between the birth
Of infants is less than two years. A

pears to affect unquestionably the
infant mortality rate.
Babies who were born prematurely
were found to have q mortality six
times as high as that of babies born
when due. Almost half Of these
babies died during the first month.
The death rate for twins and triplets
is nearly three and one-half times
that of children born singly.

Taxpayers Ask
Drainage Canal

Property owners of the West
Side Main Canal district appeared
before members of the board of di-
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation
District yesterday afternoon, pre-
senting petition for the installa-
tion of a drainage canal. The pro-
perty owners explained that dur
ing the December rains the water
broke through the canal at two
points, inundating their lands and
spelling crops.
1t was pointed out that if a
drainage canal could be installed
enough water would be diverted
from the main canal to assure safe
ty to the lands in that vicinity.
The directors agreed that there
was need for some protective mea-
sure and advised the committee of
property owners that the matter
would be given attention at once.
An inspection trip to the canal to
determine what can be done in the
matter will be made by the direc-
tors.
