Of the last few weeks in the
Middle West would soon be broken
was seen today In the continue
tion of unseaSonably cool weather.
which definitely ended the heat
wave.
Weather experts pointed ont
that q return of normal summer
warmth, inevitable at this season
Of <the year, probably would be
accompanied by sufficient rain
fall to relieve the long dry spell
and prevent further losses to
farmers and stock.
Lower temperatures and In
creasing humidity appeared to-
day to have checked crop de-
struction in the corn belt, and
many millions Of acres remain
TO be saved by the expected rain

Advisers Disagree
There was sharp disagreement
among the Presidents advisers
and official agencies over the
seriousness of the prolonged dry
spell from q national standpo poilt.
With prices of food mounting
in New York and other cities,
the Department Of Agriculture
hurried to assure the country
that the combined production Of
human food will be near the
average Of the last five years.
At the same time, Chairman
John Barton Payne Of the Red
Cross had presented q peSsiinistic
report from State chapter heads
which Indicated relief must be
afforded in nine or 10 States to
prevent privation.
Though Secretary Of Agriculture
Hyde said on Saturday that every
man. woman and child in the

uuences Of the drought, other
advisers Of the President held
the chief damage would be con-
fined to a few States.

The Farm Board Is pinnlng
much hope upon the feeding Of
wheat to replace corn and oats.
The entire wheat crop is forecast
at Sal .OOO, 900 bushels, which il 10
per cent above the 1929 crop.
With q big surplus Of wheat al.
ready on hand, diversion of 100,-
aOO0, 900 bushels to feeding live
stock would do much to right the
agricultural situation, board mem
.bers say.
The corn crop. however, has
been dealt . heavy blow by the
drought. The Indicated produc-
ton on August l, according to the
Department Of Agriculture, is

Trial of Eric Lund, North town

ing false claims on which money
was paid from the township poor
fund, will open in Lake criminf<
court here Monday before Judge
Martin J. Smith and a jury.
4 special venire of fifty for jury
service has been ordered by Judge
Smith, who said it would probably
be impossible to obtain a jury from
the regular panel of thirty-six.
Lund and Drs. Samuel Bell and
William E Nichols of Hammond
were indicted by the Lake county
grand jury in June, after lengthy
investigation by the state board of
accounts.
It is charged that Lund as town
ship trustee permitted payment to
the physicians presumably for pro-
fessional services to the poor, when
in fact no such services had been
given.
Last fall the defendants tried to
escape trial with a motion that the
charges should be dismissed on the
ground that evidence was INSULT
cient, but Judge Smith overruled the
motion.
No dates have been set for trials
of the doctors.
