importance, the commission offered
to cooperate with the counties to the
extent of but not to exceed $25 per
rlile for SNOW removal work during
the season, and on the remainder of
the constructed portions of the state
highway system to the extent of but
not to exceed $40 per mile.
"On the highways subject to CO.
operation the counties were to fur
nish the snow removal equipment.
While operating on the state high
ways under this plan. it was stipu-
lated that this equipment was to be
under the direction, control and juris-
diction Of the state highway depart
ment. acting through it's division or
district engineers. The counties were
to be paid for the use of their equip
ment on a fixed hourly rental rate
basis as worked, but in no case could
the total amount to any county eX-
coed the maximum allotment to that
| county under the $25- and $l0-per-
mile schedule"
Will Spur Counties
Two outstanding advantages of the
Comfy cooperative plans were pointed
out by Mr.. Fowler. He said it is
thought the plan will encourage the
counties to purchase snow removal
| equipment, and will in some degree
place the burden and responsibilities
for meeting demands for a more COM
%prehenSive snow removal program on
and within the local community MAX
ing such demands.
while acceptance Of this plan was,
of course. optional with the coun-
ties" he said. several took advantage
Of the program, which resulted in adj
ditional miles Of the state highway
system being opened to travel during
the winter months. And this was &C.
complished without an additional
heavy equipment investment by the
state.
while n years experience with
the county cooperative plan is hardly
sufficient to judge definitely as to its
merits, it is believed that the reasons
for formulating the plan are being
substantiated and justified"

For the United States

&
A favorable growing season in
creased the production of corn In the
United States 48, O00, 900 bushels above
the October l estimate. The Novem-
Der / estimate Of 2.O94.4 8l 900 bushels
compares with 2,614,307, 900 bushels
produced in 1929 and with 2,699, 809,-
900 bushels, the five-year average
production.
All late crops were favored by the
extended growing season, and yields
are generally above the expectations
a month ago. The preliminary esti-
mate of flax production Is placed at
24,168, 900 bushels, as compared with
6,844.O 600 bushels harvested In 1929.
This is an increase Of approximately
43 per cent IN an acreage approx
mately A per cent greater than that
Of 1929. Buckwheat production on
November ! Is estimated to be 9,400.-
600 bushels. In 1920,aii,530 900 busA-
els were harvested. Potato yields
were better than expected in all Of
the important producing states, except
Michigan and North Dakota. The
November I estimate Of 1865, 444, 900
bushels is about 16.00O,00 bushels
larger than the October / estimate
and $500, 600 bushels above the 1929
production.
The world production Of wheat is
likely to be 4 little larger than in the
past season, but the worlds consump-
ton during the 1930-3l marketing
season probably will exceed produc-
| ton. Conditions. reported to date in
| dictate that the world wheat crop out
side of Russia and China will amount
| to about $780, 900, 90 bushels, abou,
I l60, OOO, 900 bushels more than was
harvested in 1929, but 800. 000, 00(
bushels less than the 1928 crop. 1r
the past season consumption exceeded
production so that the stocks Of ole
wheat on hand July were at least
100. 900 900 bushels less than on hant
at the beginning Of the previous sea-
son. Shorter feed grain crops ant
very low prices of wheat undoubtedl!
will result in the consumption o
wheat being considerably larger thar
in the past season. Notwithstanding
the continuation Of high duties II
some countries, Europe probably vii
consume more wheat than in the pas
season because of smaller supplies o
feedstuffs with a larger number Q
livestock to be fed. The disappear
ance Of wheat in the United State
and in Europe together is likely to b
about $4,000, 900 bushels greater tina
in the past season. This would re
duce the worlds carryover Of whea
at the end Of the season to about
normal basis unless Russia contrib
utes a large amount Of wheat for con
sumption In the deficit countries.
