by the Associated Press.
A Winter wheat crop of $40 900 ,00C
bushels. reduced about 5000, 600 BUSH
els from the May estimate by adverse
growing conditions, was forecast yester-
day by the Agriculture Department.
The indicated 1881 production, how
ever, is still about 100000 bushels
more than last year and l02 1000 0OC
more than the five-ysar average. On
May q production OF 652, ,000, 900 BUSH
els was forecast.
Spring wheat prospects, seriously af-
fected by the lack OF rain, were reported
considerably poorer. The condition OF
Spring wheat on June l was 67.9 per
cent of normal, the lowest ever reported
on that date. On June ], 1880, the con-
dition was 35.7 per cent.
Crop prospects for the country as q
whole" the department said. were be-
low average on June /. The month OF
May was not particularly favorable for
plant growth especially for corn and
garden crops. Rainfall is still deficient
in most of the Central and Western
States. The month was marked by ex-
tremes of temperatures in many areas
with considerable damage from the late
frosts through the North Central States
extending as far south as Kansas. Cut
worms have been unusually destructive
and much corn has had to be replanted
on account of the cold weather."
The condition OF Winter wheat on
June 1 was 84.3 per cent. as compared
with 90.3 on May /. The department
said some declines in the great plains
and far Northwestern Stats have been
largely offset by better prospects in the
soft Winter wheat States from Illinois
East. Continued dryness. freezing
weather. and high winds were respon-
sible for the decline
Rye prospects were said to have
dropped markedly during May. The
condition of barley on June ! wss the
lowest on record, while that of oais was
somewhat above average. Prospects were
we'll above average for both apples and
PEACHES. while pear prospects were

According to Iron Age steel ingot pro-

which usually rise with rising activity
at the furnaces, continue to decline to
new low levels.
Department of Agriculture estimates
of q Winter wheat crop of 649, ,000, 900
bushels, based on conditions on June l,
shows a reduction from the estimate of
653, ,000, 900 bushels based on May / con-
ditionS, nevertheless even the June esti-
mate places this years crop well above
the 604 ,000, 900 bushels harvested in 1890
or the five-year average Of 547,000,000
bushels.
The plan of Eastern and West
ern railroad executives to petition
for a general increase in freight rates
as a measure to bring NEEDED improve
ment in railway revenues has received
the support of traffic officers Of rail-
roads in the s'outhern district. Sup
port of Southern roads, which now may
be exp cted, will add weight to the final
petition. In this connection 1t is of in
terest to- observe indications that. In
order to expedite action, the petition
to the Interstate Comm:rce Commits
sion may request horizontal rise in all
rates rather than detailed revisions of
the separate classification.
Freight car loadings for the week

DROUGHT CAUSED BY LOSS 0F AIR FLOW
 FROM ARCTIC, SAID

A flood" of cold air from the Arctic regions to Europe, which depleted the supply that might have come to the United States, is believed to have been one of the causes of the prolonged drought of last year in America, according to the United States Daily.
 Previous studies by the Weather Bureau have shown that the drought was a result of a pro- ilonged stagnation of the air over the United States, MT. Humph- reys, of the Bureau said, and his theory of the flow of cold air &C., counts for this stagnation.
 MT. Humphreys reached his con- clusions, which have not hereto fore been made public, as result of studies of weather conditions throughout the world last year, combined with general knowledge of meteorological principles and data. The following information also was given orally by MT. Humphreys:
 "The cause of any considerable rainfall is the rapid cooling of an large of warm, moist air. This usually is brought about by inter action between currents of cool and warm air, the warm flowing up over the cold, or, in other cases, the heavier, cool current forcing it's way under the lighter, warm current, raising it to higher elevation and causing it to cool The cooling reduces the wa carrying capacity of the VOL ume occupied and causes the for nation of drops of water which are precipitated in the form of rain.
 Generally speaking, there is amount of warm, moist air This flowing from the tropics, and cold air from the Polar regions, the contrasting currents meeting with the result that the warm air is raised and cooled, and rain falls. The flow of cold air from the Arctic however, takes certain pre- ferred paths, such as the great trough of comparatively level land extending down the Mackenzie River valley i'll Canada and the Mississippi valley in the United States, or the path across the At lantic east of Greenland, toward Europe.
 When an unusually heavy flow of cold air from the Arctic rushes down one of the preferred paths, as for instance, the path toward Europe, the pressure of cold air in the Arctic seeking to move SOuthWard is leSSened and there is less tendency for 9 movement along the other paths The result is heavy rainfall along the path taken by the rush of cold air where it meets warm currents. and at the same time during sum- mer, a warming up northward along the other paths.
 Many absurd suggestions have been advanced as causes of the drought. Probably the one heard most frequently last year was that operation of radio stations thru out the country was responsible.

But radio programs were about as numerous and constant in Europe and Canada as in the United States, and there were substantial rains in Canada, while Europe had heavy rains and floods. Radio waves do not effect the moisture content of the air. The Bureau has received, incidentally, num- erous complaints that radio was causing excessive rainfall.
 Another cause" suggested was the widespread use of automobiles. No logical connection between
Seward daily gateway., 1931-07-30

rainfall and the use of automo- piles is known. However, for ev- cry gallon of gasoline used in au- tomobiles, water vapor equivalent to about a gallon of water is dis charged into the air through the exhaust, so the effect, if there were one, should be the opposite. The amount of water so dis charged is too small to have any effect, since it requires 113 tons of water to the acre to produce a good. but not excessive, rain of one inch"

Unemployment cures" in Ohio

According to experts there will be more jobs
and longer period of employment for the
unemployment if the work is done by hand.
All workers are required to dig three and third
cubic yard of dirt each day.
The American Federation OF Labor convened
at Columbus for its state convention on Sept IS,
Give days after the Cleveland riots for jobs)
also offer cures for unemployment. Senator
Buckley Democrat) greeted the convention and
was cheered when he appealed for all to vote for
"the opening Of breweries and legalize the sale
of beer" This would give many jobs and cure
economic ills according to Senator Buckley,
Harry Mclaughlin, state secretary of the Fed
GRAFTON, could not add any new ideas to solve
tack against boFS ciy'is Ditchbdn Mi
unemployment so he went to hysterial attack
against Bolshevism and Communism
In the face of these takers and fake cures of
unemployment the workers of Ohio are or
ganizing hunger marches and building Councils
of Unemployed. The demands of the Councils of
of Unemployed are for state and county relief
of $3.50 cash for the coming winter; no forced
labor; unemployment insurance of SIS per week,
and So for each dependent. Don't starve, fight"

On Sept 10, desperate mass of unemployed
workers, thirteen hundred in number stormed
the county storeyards at Cleveland for jobs dig
ging bitches Hundreds stood in line all night
some young some od-all hungry. Many tainted
from hunger and exposure during the night.
Others weakened from standing in line all night,
we're trampled in the wild rush when the reg
iStraton booths opened in the morning. This
scene is a forecast of the grim aspects of the
approaching Winter--of mass starvation and
death for the Unemployed!
-Four days later according othe Cleveland
Press, only $50 men were hired out of the 10000
applicants for jobs. But what IS of greater i'm
portance is HOW and WHY they we're hired.
Quoting the Cleveland Press again. Each of the
workers are selected by the Associated Charities
Soldiers and Sailors Relief Commission and
1Cuyhaga county mayorsl" recommendation
and reference from city mayor is necessary to
get job digging bitches! 1t is easily seen that
the jobs are given out by crooked politicians on
condition that the workers promise to vote for
designated candidates, In addition to this each
applicant is asked: Are you citizen?" "A war
Veteran what church do you go to?" What
political party" etc.
Another aspect of Oho's Unemployment cures
Is the elimination Of the ditch digging machines.
