IN MILK
PRICES is SEEN
Dry Pastures Force Farmers
To Buy More Feed For
Their Cows
DROUGHT IN NORTHEAST

Milk prices in the Northeastern
states were seen on the way UP by
Farm Administration officials as a
result of the drought. Dry pastures
forcing farmers to buy more feed
than usual at increased prices are
bringing about an upward trend of
milk prices which soon may be felt
nearly everywhere, they said. Sec
reary Wallace told newspapermen
last week the higher prices in Kan
sas and neighboring states could be
attributed to the drought, and that
it was probable prices would be
higher in the East soon. Pastures
in the East are below average"
Wallace said, though not to the
same extent as in the West The
average is perhaps 25 per cent low
err" Wallace was told during his
press conference that in one section
of Vermont grazing cattle had be-
come i'll by eating the roots Of
grass after the blades We're gone.
He said it was the first report of
the kind to reach him, but that i'll
ness to the animals might be
brought about in this way. He said
the food problem was a major one
caused by the arid spell, and that
a way of solving it would be
sought by special grain commit
tee. Commenting on the diseased
cattle eradication programs being
conducted in New York and other
States, Wallace said that the
drought has provided "a splendid
opportunity to get rid of inferior
animals" Drought and feed scare
ity are also having an effect upon
the supply of chicken and eggs.

nomics reports that farm f1ocks

DELAWARE HAS
AVERAGE CROP
Corn Higher Than Average
With Prospect of Ad-
vance in Price
GRAPES LEAD IN FRUIT

Field and fruit crop prospects in
Delaware changed but little since
July 1 and on August 1 indications
were for about an average crop of
corn, better than average crops of
rye, buckwheat and hays with
smaller than average crop of wheat
and oats, according to Richard c.
Ross, Federal agricultural stats
tician for Delaware. Hot weather
prevailed during July and in some
areas it was quite dry. Generally.
however, rainfall was sufficient, av-
eraging above normal for the State.
Production of corn, forecast at g.
1854, 900, is above last year and
slightly higher than average. Early
and late paintings of corn suffered
very little from the dry spell but
intermediate paintings grow slowly
and production is uncertain. Pre-
liminary wheat production estim-
ate is placed at 1,38S,000 bushels.
Good yields were obtained but in
the southern section the grain was
light. The season was favorable
for rye and good yields were real
lied. The preliminary estimate
places the crop at $1,000 bushels
which is higher than for last year
as well as the average. Oats are
light crop this year Indicated
production, $4,000 bushels, is below
last year and the ten year average,
by about 10000 bushels. Total hay
production is forecast at 118,OOO
tons, which is slightly less than
last year but about % per cent
above average production. Alfalfa
production, while smaller than last
year, is considerably higher than
average. Second cuttings were
light. Potato production is indi-
Gated at $500 bushels, and sweet
potato production at $4,000 bush
Smyrna times., 1934-08-23

els. The sweet potato crop prom
ises to be lighter than last year or
the average, while production of
Irish potatoes is indicated to be
considerably higher than average.
Fruit crops, except grapes will be
small. Apple production indica-
tions are for about half an average
crop and peaches about one-fourth.
Grape production is indicated at g.
$50 tons which is above the aver
age production. Crop prospects in
the United States declined nearly
IL per cent during July as a result
of continued drought and record
breaking hot weather. Growing
conditions are poor practically
everywhere except along the At
lantic Coast, in the eastern Cotton
Belt and in the Pacific Northwest.
In large area that includes most
of Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas,
and some adjoining portions of
Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Mime
sofa, Montana, Wyoming, Color
ado, and New Mexico, all growing
crops and pastures were seriously
hurt and most of the corn was
scorched beyond recovery. The to-
tai corn crop for all purposes is
now estimated as equivalent to L.
607 ,108,000 bushels compared with
2,343 ,8S3,000 bushels produced last
year and an average of 2,516, ,307, :
600 bushels during the years,
1927-1931. The present forecast is
more than 5OO,O0O,OOO bushels be-
low prospects month ago. Wheat
production is estimated at 490,-
100000. This is a slight increase
over expectations a month ago and
is not far below last years crop,
527, ,97S,000 bushels, but it is only
55 per cent of average production.
Other late crops including cotton,
grain sorghums, buckwheat. late
cuttings of alfalfa and clover, en-
ergency hay and forage crops, po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes, sugar beets,
apples and some late commercial
trulck and canning crops have also
been seriously affected by the
drought.

than last, and fewer than in any
of the last eight years for which
there are records. The number of
hens also was 4 per cent less thar
last June /, and per cent less
than the June average for the five
years, 1927-31, and the smallest in
the ten-year records of that date
Production of eggs per hen is about
4 per cent less than on June / last
year and the smallest on record
since 1925. Production Of eggs per
hen has decreased most in drought
areas.

a large number of infant deaths
had been reported to the in
sular health department each
year as due to ricketts,. This
confusion resulted from anglici-
cation of the Spanish term
"raquitismo," viii h properly
translated means malnutrition.
The use of the term has been
discontinued since the report of
the bureau.
One of the interesting points
in the report was that cod
liver oil had not, in this eli
mate, prevented ricketts,. It had
prevented, no doubt. severe
cases of the malady, but it had
not proved a substitute for sun.
