CROP SCARCITY
HELD WORST
IN HISTORY
International News Service

The 1886 drought was definitely
established today as the worst in
the history of the United States,
more disastrous to crops than the
"dust storm" drought of 1884, and
preSaging a great shortage OF
principal food for humans and
livestock this winter.
The shortest corn crop since pro-
duction records first began to be
kept, in 1881; a blighted spring
wheat crop; reduction in rye,
barley, hay, oats and other feeds,
and in beans, apples and other
foods were reported by the United
States Crop Reporting Board.
And those figures, based on re-
ports as of August !, did not take
into account the continuation Of
the arid weather in the early days
Of this month, the most vital days
for corn, chief of the grain crops.
Since August i, rainfall continued
Iar below normal for the first 10
days Of the month in the corn
belt and western grain States,
coming too late over the last week
end in southern Iowa, northern
Illinois and southern Missouri to
save much of the corn in these
high production States.
AS July's torrid weather Slashed
the corn crop at the rate Of
$4,000, 900 bushels a day, accord
ing to the crop boards estimates
Is Of July and August Ia total
reduction for the month of
SO4, 900 900 bushels continued
similar reduction for the first 10
days Of August would slash the
corn crop a further 260,000,0 900
bushels. This would cut the crop
to 1,179, 135, 900 bushels, as COM
pared with the previous low rec
ord Of the last half century Of
1,4S7, OPT 900 bushels in 1884.

a pleasing jingle somewhat similar
to Didn't My Lord Deliver
Daniel"
The second movement is one of
the most famous of symphonic
works in this country because of
the first theme shown above
played by the English horn. COM
monty known as the Coin
Home" tune. The Coin Home"
lyric was written and adapted to
the tune from the symphony and
not the other way around. This
sad song is in the minor. The sec
ond theme shown above is the
opening phrase Of a short and
brighter major passage.
