at moderate estimate, to 100000
bushels more.
Whole Nation Interested.
The protection and the proper feed
ing Of our valuable dairy herds Is q
matter of national economy in which
the whole Nation is interested. The
preservation of our foundation stock of
other kinds of animals is also q matter
of general concern. For this purpose
available feed must be carefully hus-
banded. The supply must be expanded
by the planting Of crops to produce
Fall and Winter pasture. Feed must be
made to go as far as possible, and by q
proper balancing Of feed rations so as
to obtain the utmost Of feed value from
the grains fed.
At present prices the feeding of wheat
is desirable from every angle. Wheat is
worth more than corn. Nevertheless,
corn is selling on the market at higher
price than wheat. For feeding to hogs
and cattle wheat Is worth SLIP per
bushel If corn Is worth ST. 1t must be
cracked or crushed before feeding. It
should be fed in combination with hay.
Every farmer can get q proper formula
for feeding wheat from his agricul-
tural college or from the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Only today, at the invitation Of the
President, conference of the Governors
Of IL of the stricken States made plans
for an organization in each State which
will reach down into each county and
do everything possible to relieve the
situation. The problem is individual,
and the individual problem will be

Government to Cooperate.
The problem is a large one, and a

ties. The Farm Board, the Farm Loan

Live Stock Great Asset.
Gagged by any standard of value,
the live stock of the Nation is, next to
the land itself, our greatest asset To
every one of us live stock means dairy
and meat supplies. To the farmer live
stock means milk, meat and power.
They also mean q method of marketing
crops and a large source of income. A
shortage in corn, hay and pasture is a
direct threat to every kind Of live stock.
Such stock must be kept on the farm.
To force upon the market our founda-
ton live stock would be a calamity of
major proportions. Panic selling of
live stock would wreck the business of
many thousands of farmers and would
result in a shortage next year. The
great losses in corn, hay and pastures
have materially shortened the supply OF
feeds usually used for live stock. Re-
sort must be had to other feeds if the
live stock is to be kept on the farms.
The situation from feed standpoint
is briefly this:
On the basis of present estimates a
surplus of 412,000.000 bushels of wheat
must be stretched to meet a shortage
in normal feed requirements of 494,-
100000 bushels of other grain. This
wheat also must meet the shortage of

siSsippi.
So severe is the drought that our
August crop forecast shows a loss UP
to August l of 590.000,0 900 of bushels
OF corn, with another hundred mil
lion loss indicated between August /
and August IL. Pastures were so dry
and burned that the condition figure

the lowest on record.
The hay crop shows loss of 12,000,-
600 tons over the average production Of
the five years, 1924 to 1928.
Other Large Losses.
There have been enormous losses in
other directions. Many thousands of
acres of gardens and truck patches have
4, suffered. Short pastures have curtailed
the milk supply and are enforcing
larger and earlier feeding of grain to
both dairy and beef animals. There
is some shrinkage in the supply of
vegetables. These facts have caused
many a housewife to fear a shortage
of food or an exorbitant increase in the
price of food. There is no occasion to
fear any serious shortage of food for
human consumption. Already there is
There will be shortage in the supply
of some foods, and, following the oper-
alton of the law of supply and demand,
there may be expected some increases
in the prices of some foods.
The speed with which some dealers
have moved to increase prices to con-
sumers has been worthy of note. They
would be more admirable If it could be
shown that they had or would exercise
the same zeal in decreasing prices dur
ing normal times. No exorbitant in
creases in such prices is Indicated by
the situation. 1t is to be hoped that
proper local authorities will be moved
to prevent any threatened pronteering.
The critical aspect Of the situation
does not lie in any danger OF dearth of
food for human needs. The danger
lies in the threat of want or bank

HYDE SUMMARIZES
DROUGHT SITUATION
Emphasizes in Forum Ad-
dress There Is Plenty of
Food to Go Around.

Again emphasizing that there els
plenty of food to &c around" Arthur
M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, said
In a radio address last night that the
critical aspect of the drought situation
lies lin the threat Of want or bank
ruptcy to many thousands Of farm FAM
lilies in the first instance. and in the
Z after effects of the crop shortage upon
the whole Nation"
Speaking in the National Radio
Forum, arranged by The Washington
. Star and broadcast over the coast-to-
coast network of the Columbia Broad
casting System, Mr.. Hyde said there
would be shortage of some foods and
in some instances an increase in food
prices might be expected.
Expressing the hope that "the proper
local authorities" will be moved to pre-
vent any threatened profiteering, Secre-
tary HYDE roundly scored "the speed
with which some dealers have moved
to increase prices to consumers"
FoOdstuff Losses Most Serious.
"They would be more admirable"
he said, 'if 1t could be shown that they
had or would exercise the same zeal in
decreasing prices in normal times" He
added, however, that mo eXhorbitant
increases in such prices" are indicated
by the situation.
Enormous losses in feedstuff for cat
tie and live stock constitute the most
serious aspect of the situation, he said.
Quoting from the Agriculture Depart
fnent's latest crop report, he said that
N"the tonnage of corn, oats, barley and
grain sorghum now indicated shows a
total of 100000 tons, as compared
with a five-year average of 100000. 900
tons, a drop of over 15,000,000 tons
in the feed grains alone"
This statement" he said bare as
IL Is, points to the necessity of using
the utmost economy in conserving our
supply of feeds for live stock"
Refers to Conference.
Referring to the White House Con-
ference of Governors, which yesterday
met with President Hoover to lay down
a relief program for the States which
have suffered most Mr.. Hyde said that
the drought problem is individual and
that the individual problem would be
the conference.
Generally speaking" he said, "either
feed must be gotten TO the live stock, or
the live stock must be gotten to the
feed" The human side of the problem,
he said, Is presented by the farm FAM
lilies. ITEMS of thousands of them have
had their entire savings swept away"
he said, their very economic existence
jeopardized, Millions of them have
suffered great damage"
Text of Address.
The text of Secretary Hyde's address
follows.
The long-continued drought has ar
rested the attention of the whole Ma
ton In duration and severity, as well
as in the extent of the area affected
and the deficiency in rainfall, this
drought is the worst Of which we have
any record.
In a general way, the area most af-
fected begins on the Atlantic Sea-
board with Virginia and part of Mary

and the southern part of Pennsylvania,
on down both sides of the Ohio River,
and southwark down the Mississippi,

pastiire and an estimated shortage Of
| 1000. 900 tons Of hay. The shortage
In hay, after allowing for carry-overs,
Is equivalent 10 10000, 900 bushels OF
corn. The shortage in pasture is diffi-
cult to express in terms Of an equiva-
lent corn value. but the pasture losses
are easily equal to more than 10000 900
bushels Of corn.
wheat must do duty for shortage in
grain crops of $4,000, 900 bushels, plus
a shortage in hay equal 10 50,000,0 00
bushels, plus shortage in pasture equal
! to 100000 bushels, or 624,000,O0O
bushels in all.
Based Upon Domestic Use.
These figures are based upon domestic
use only, and upon the assumption that
there shall be no export whatever for
the remainder of the present crop year.
Stated in another form, and quoting
from our recent crop report: THE tom
mage of corn, oats, barley and grain
sorghum now indicated shows total OF
% 900 900 tons, compared with a Ave-
year average Of 100000 900 TONS" a drop
of over $4,000, 900 tons in the feed grains
alone. To this must be added the short
age Of 10000, 900 tons of hay and MIL
lions of acres of pasture.
This statement, bare as it Is, points
TO the vital necessity of using the ut
most economy in conserving our supply
of feeds for live stock
Analysed somewhat, the situation Is
this:
The 1880 production of wheat was
S21 900 900 bushels. Domestic require
ments for human food, for seed and for
carry-over for 1891 aggregate SAL 600, :
600 bushels. Nineteen million bushels
have already been exported. This leaves
O balance, assuming no more exports
whatever, of 412,000,000 bushels availa-
BILE for feed for live stock.
August Forecast.
Our August forecast estimated a total
crop of corn, oats, barley, rye and grain
sorghumS combined amounting to
8 1859 600, coo bushels. We had on Au-
gust / a carry-over of these grains OF
approximately $4,000, 900 bushels. Our
gross supply for the remainder of 1880
and the first half of 1891 aggregates,
therefore, 1000, 100000 bushels.
From this total must be deducted
asa 900 900 bushels for 1891 feed re-
quirements and carry-over. This leaves
us with a total available supply for all
purposes of 9.79s 900 900 bushels,
Our domestic consumption, on the
other hand, of the same grains based
on the five-year average consumption
for the years 1925 to 1929 is 1892 900
bushels, made up as follows:
Bushels
Corn &, 686, 600, 900
oats L ,348, GOO, 900
Barley 201, 600, 900
Rye $4,000, 900
Sorghum grains .......... 1913, 900

sumption from the available amount of
all kinds Of grains only leaves us with
