CORN CROP CUT
43.5 PER CENT

The nations corn crop was cut
to 4345 per cent of normal by the
drought and a acute shortage of
livestock feed for this winter faces
farmers in the stricken areas, the
Department of Agriculture report
shows.
The corn crop was estimated at
!, 484 500 bushels, against 1888 pro
duction of 1914 million bushels,
and an average of 2,516 million
over the five-year period, 1927-31.
Fall Prospects Good
Optimistic reports were given
by the department as to fall crops
and soil condition for fall seeding
throughout the drought area,
Rains which have improved fall
prospects came too late to aid the
summer crops, the department
said.
A heavy toll in the wheat crop
also was taken by the long, dry
spell, production being estimated
at 493 million bushels for all va
rites, compared with 528 million
in 1888 and 886 million for the
five-year average.
Feed Costs Rise
Referring to livestock feed
shortage, the department said sup
plies were being stored at stra'
tegic points in drought States
It added:
ION the whole, it is increas"
ingly evident that an acute
shortage of both feed grain and
rOughage now is unavoidable,
though feed requirements ana
death losses will depend in part
on the mildneSS Of the winter.
Feed costs have risen sharply
and now are high in compari'
SON with livestock prices.

BANKS FORESEE
NEW BOND CALL

The initial response Of banks
and investors to the Governments
crucial quarterly refinancing OF
Ito million dollars has been sat
isfactory, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau declared late yes
terday.
Morgenthau said no detailed re-
ports had reached him about the
relative demand for the three
new issues offered in exchange for
Liberty bonds and maturing Ger
tificateS
Unusually large purchases OF
Government securities by the
Treasury for investment accounts
last week were shown in the
Treasury's weekly summary. They
amounted to $18,652, 900 and sug.
gested support of the Government
securities market. Morgenthau
declined to comment on the pur.
chaSes.
Probability that the Treasury
will cal another 1000 to 1000
million dollars of fourth Liberty
loan bonds next month was seen
in official quarters today.
The Treasury is understood to
be considering the call, but has
deferred its final decision, which
will be influenced by the recep-
ton of present exchange issues
and by later judgment of money
market conditions likely to pre-
vail next spring.
With an october call the bonds
would be exchanged or paid off
in April. Six months advance
notice is required.
The fourth Liberties to remain
outstanding, after nearly 1880
million dollars of them have been
exchanged or paid off in the pres
ent refinancing, total 5000 mil
lion dollars.
Treasury officials recognize that
the market for Government long
term bonds is unfavorable, many
banks being reluctant to take
them. It is hoped that in the
near future banks will begin to
lend more freely, reducing their
investment holdings, and sell
many of their bonds to investors,
thus clearing the way for bond is
sues advantageous to the Govern
ment.
Officials expect a relatively
small demand for the bonds Of

Told By EIDE NORENA

WHEN I was a little girl of " twelve, living in my native city of Oslo, in Norway, was taken to hear my first opera, Gounod's Faust" If I should tell you that then and there determined that when grew up I would be an opera star and sing Marguerite 1t would probably be a flb but I remember well how I was unable to sleep that night and how heavenly beautiful I thought the music.
 Faust" even when I sing the role of Marguerite as I shall for the Metropolitan Opera broadcast this Saturday afternoon, can no longer keep me awake at night but I have never changed my opinion about the beauty of the music.
 To me it is the most lovely of all operas and although I have sung Marguerite hundreds of times I nev- CT tire of it.
 The great opera-loving public of the world seems to agree with me. In the Paris Grand Opera alone Faust" has been sung more than 2,500 times and it is the opera for which there are no free tickets. Tt is always sold out. Not only that, but the Grand Opera keeps regular iy on its staff a half dozen Margue- rites, coloratura sopranos, lyric so- pranos, dramatic sopranos, 50 that everybody in the course of a year can have the particular kind of Marguerite he likes.
 Popular Throughout the World
 And it is the same all through France. Even in Germany where they cali it 'sMargarete" instead of 'sFaust" because they think the book doss not do justice to Goethe's dramatic poem, it is one of the most popular operas. In England and here ia America ik is the same story.
 The role of Marguerite is adored oy sll soprancs; yet it is formidable if only because of the great women who have been identified with it in the pest. The first was Miolsn-Car- vaiho who sang it at it's premiere ln Inc Thaatre Lyrique in Paris in 1853, Others were Adelina Patti, Christine Nilsson, Clara Louise Kei- lesg. Nellie Msiba. Emma Flames.

Lupe And Johnny
 So Busy Fighting
 They Cannot Part
No Divorce Possible, Says
 Fiery Film Star
By DAN THOMAS

By OtAN AG1OVA<Afo NEA Service Stan Correspondent Hollywood-That much discussed
 Weissmuller-velez breakup was
 not permanent. It was, as a mat ter of fact, hardly 8 break-up at all, for it already is patched up, as much as any of the disputes be- tween Johnny and Lupe can be patched.
 There won't be divorce, and even their trial separation-during which both lived in the same
 house-is at an end. Lupe herself gave this information. Further more, she said that the only time there is any real trouble between
 her and Johnny is when they don's
 fight.
 "we always will fight" she de- clares. "If went through 8 whole
 day without trouble, l probably | would be too lonesome to live. But
 don't get the idea we intend to get
 a divorce. We may kill each other.
 but we'll never get a divorce"
 eve stop fighting when we get hungry" says the fiery Mexican. During dinner we are quiet. But
 Johnny is 8 big pig. He eats enough for two men and then
 steals half of my dinner" 
 Golf Upsets Lupe's Plans One of the things that caused their most recent row was John- ny's disinclination to go out on
 parties every night, due largely to the fact that he had been getting
 up early to play golf. T don't see why that should make him so tired," says Lupe.
 A constant bone of contention is the fact that Johnny doesn't want Lupe to sit up in bed and read murder stories after they have re- tired. Maybe he's afraid it will give her ideas.

Nothing Definite Known Here About Geo Stock

Official notification of only two retirements has been received at the local postoffice. The retirement of William Mclean, as reported ex- clusively in The Democrat on We'd nesday, is slated for March 1, while that of Patrick Barry Is scheduled for April 1.
 Despite contrary reports, no re- tirement notice has as yet been received by George T. Stock or Timothy Shanahan. Neither is ex- pected to leave the postal service before the summer, while Stock will probably remain on duty until fall.
 MT Mclean, 1t was learned, has applied to Washington for an ex- tension long enough to enable him to complete full 30 years of ser- vice and becomel eligibe for an annual pension of $1200.

Waterbury's air mail schedule will next week resume the status which it held previous to the can' cellation of the air mail contracts. A postal bulletin from Washington this morning states that army hy- CTS will take over the New York Boston route on Feb 20.
 The resumption of the New York; Boston route, with its stop at Hartford, will once again enable local users of the air mail service to put in air mail as late as 3:4b for next day delivery to southern and western points.
 During the past week, with the New England route interrupted, all air mail from this city had to be sent to New York and Newark by train and there placed aboard mai planes. This made it necessary fol air mail to be in the post office by 2:45 or 3 o'clock.
