DROUGHT DAMAGE LOWER
THAN IN 1884, STATISTICS
CHOW

With favorable fall weather green
ing vast stretches of recently-seeded
farm land, federal officials said this
years drought would be less costly
to Uncle Sam than the disastrous one
of 1894.
Tabulation of federal drought re-
lief expenditures in 1884 showed
they were we'll above the half billion
dollar mark. Federal expenditures
so far this year were estimated at
less than $1OO,000,00O, with indica-
cations the maximum final total
might be about twice that.
More than one-third If all the
counties in the United States were
listed officially as emergency drought
territory's but the special Agricul-
ture Department committee which
designates such territory had made
no addition to the list in more than
two weeks.
Nearly one-half of the 3,071 coun-
ties in the country were designated
as drought areas two years ago.
Farmers in designated counties are
eligible for federal grants and loans
and emergency relief jobs. Reduced
railroad rates and seed conservation
programs also are offered in such
territory.
One of the biggest differences be-
tween 1886 and 1894 drought costs
has been in government livestock
purchases.
Two years ago about $120,000,0 900
of federal funds was spent to buy
more than 100000 head Of live
stock in drought areas.
This year a special fund of $5,-
100000 was allocated and machin-
cry set up to buy cattle if heavy
marketing from drought areas forced
prices to low levels.
A check showed less than 1000
head actually had been purchased, at
a cost of less than 100000 Spokes-
men in charge of this program said
it probably would end this month,
when processing contracts with pack
ers expire. The meat porducts OBJ
tanned will be turned over to state
agencies for free distribution to per-
sons on relief
The Works Progress Administra-
ton reported 100000 farmers in
drought areas were employed on spe-
cial projects, on the last date for
which figures were available. They
said this was expected to be the peak,
and that expenditures from July un-
til next spring would average not
more than $5,000,O00 month. The
WPA said nearly $70,000,000 had
been spent on projects in the drought
area but that part of this had gone
to regular relief workers.
The Resettlement Administration,
providing grants and loans to
drought victims, estimated about ST.
O0O, 900 had been used for these pur-
poses up to October 10.

TRAFFIC SAFETY BEGINS AT
HOME

Traffic Safety Begins At Home.
These are the striking words which
head a new poster recently issued by
the National Congress of Parents and
Teachers for use in promoting its
Traffic Safety Education Project.
True to it's significant caption, the
poster shows family group-father,
mother, and two children-engaged
in studying safety. The father is
kneeling on the floor, holding a book
labeled Traffic Rules" using toy
automobiles to illustrate his points.
The mother and children look on as
he points out the miniature motor
vehicles approaching a traffic inter-
section which he has outlined on the
floor.
The poster was planned by the Ad-
visory Committee on the Traffic
Safety Education Project, and will be
shown this fall at state parent-teach-
er congress conventions and district
meetings throughout the country, the
president of the National Congress
of Parents and Teachers explained.
1t may be obtained for use in exhib-
it's, by writing to the Office of the
Traffic Safety Education Project, Ma
tional Congress of Parents and
Teachers, Room 1406, ia East 32nd
Street, New York City.

CHEAPER THANKSGIVING TUR-
KEYS

Turkey dinners on Thanksgiving
Day will be the cheapest in years for
Marylanders, in the opinion of Wade
H. Rice, poultry specialist of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
Mr.. Rice, completing a survey of
expected fall and winter poultry
prices, said Maryland, together with
the rest of the country, will have one
of the largest turkey crops in history
this season.
He said he believed low prices will
prevail throughout the fall and most
of the winter months.
In addition to the plentiful turkey
supply, Mr.. Rice estimated the crop
of broiler and fryer chickens will be
more than twice as large as the aver
age for the last five years.
He said an increase in broiler pro-
duction, coupled with high feed pric-
es resulting from summer droughts,
will force the sale by farmers of UNI
usual quantities of young poultry
stock.
Fried or roast chicken dinners
even turkey dinners-on Thanks
giving, he added, probably can be
served as cheaply as good quality
cuts of red meat served by the aver
age family.

WEATHER IS FACTOR
IN KEEPING EGGS

The Minnesota Egg, Butter and
Poultry Association in it's campaign
of education to improve the poultry
and egg industry in Minnesota points
out that huge losses are suffered dur
ing hot weather due to the fact that
the egg producers are not careful in
handling the eggs at this time. Eggs
are highly perishable product and
it is very essential and vitality neces-
sary that eggs be kept in cool, dry
place. They should be gathered sew
eral times a day, Immediately placed
in this cool place and they should
be marketed at least three times per
week. 1t should be kept in mind that
this cool, dry place should be free of
all offensive Odors.
In addition to the egg producers
using great care in protecting their
eggs from this heat it should be kept
in mind by all of the grocers in the
state that they should use care too
in handling the eggs after they have
bought them. Eggs for retail in Min
nesOta should receive the same care
full attention given to milk. In other
words, the retail merchants in Min
nesota should carry, under refrigera-
ton, the eggs they have for sale to
consumers in the state and they
should dispose of any surplus eggs,
not intended for retail, each day.
All of this is critically important
to the egg producers in this state and
losses due to negligence total stag
gering amount each year, says the
association.

Canton Movement Collapses.

datlOn or the TWO Germdn-Spedklne
countries.
Canton Movement COllapses.
In Asia things have been going on
1t will be recalled that the Canton
(South China) provincial government
became so incensed at the inactivity
of the central government in the face
of Japan's occupation of North China
that civil war was threatened. Now
it appears the Canton movement has
collapsed and that its leader, General
Chen Chia-tang, has fled. Conferences
have been in progress between the
central government and the leaders OF
the incipient Cantonese revolt, and as
a result Canton has yielded to Nam
king. So, the way it now looks there
will be no immediate civil war; the
central government will be permitted
to persist in its do-nothing policy, and
Japan will without resistance be per-
five North Chinese provinces. There
is no one to hinder the further prog
ress of that action. China gives up
and the western powers which had
by solemn treaties-guarantee Chi
nese independence and territorial in
tegrity, have never had anything to
give up. They simply have not made
one single move to prevent the Japa-
nese conquest.
So much for international treaties
and guarantees!
