The Department of Agriculture re-
ported today that about half Of the
total corn acreage in the States of
Missouri, Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and South Dakota was
damaged beyond recovery for grain
production" as Of July 28.
At the same time the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration made two

drought conditions and still qualify for
payments under the 1886 farm pro-
gram. States in this region are Mary

Six States Prospects Better.
The Agriculture Departments Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics said
prospects were better in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, but "even in most of these
States there are sizable areas where
very little corn will make grain"
In this group Of States and in bor-
dering areas, including the western
portions Of New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia. Central
Kentucky, Northwestern Arkansas
and the eastern slope of the Rockies,
from Colorado to Montana, the crop
was said to be badly hurt" and all
late crops damaged materially.
In about half Of this area, mostly
