Giants YanE<s Break Western Team Rule
Bench
Warming
BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Major league baseball teams are
now entering the September stretch
which holds the bags of gold at the
finish for the boys in both leagues
who have held up their end of the
playing and managed to remain
near the top in the league races.
The National league race, always
a nip and tuck battle, is no eXcep-
tion this year. Three teams, New
Cubs are battling it out for first
place, with the Giants holding the
favored spot four games ahead Of
the st. Louis Gas House gang.
At this stage of the race four
games look mighty big but even the
Giants are not sure they can keep
up the good work Terry, who has
had so many sad Septembers, is
afraid to predict anything about the
race for fear his forecast will change
the luck of his team and cause a
September bust reminiscent of the
Giants collapses in 1884 and 1885.
At the present time the Giants
have won "A out of the last 81 games
played and with Hubbell leading the
way the rampant New Workers will
be hard to stop.
The ST. Louis Cardinals, always
fighting clan, cannot be counted
cut however, in spite of the fact
they have a weakened pitching
staff. IL OF Diz can build up
some of the 1884 fire and spirit
intc the fast slipping Gas House
Gang frankie Frisch and the
boys will have TO be reckoned
with.
The Cubs, who finished last sea-
son with a 81 game winning streak
to snatch the league pennant in the
last week of play, are not out OF the
race yet. The Chicago nine boasts
the most evenly balanced pitching
staff in the league and has a roster
of sluggers who hit the ball when
base hits mean runs.
Lonnie Warneke's 10 victory over
the Giants last Monday revived the
hopes of the Cubs, for Warneke's
record up to last Monday had not
been very impressive.
Manager Bill Terry has summed
up the -ituation in the following
statement: with the three clubs
punched as they are in this stage
of the race the club that gets the
breaks will win the flag"
The American league race is in
the bag for the New York Yankees.
The New Workers are leading the
league by 17ls games and have to
win only seven games to clinch the
pennant.
While the three leading clubs in
the senior loop are battling tooth
and nail for the coveted pennant,
the Yankees are coasting along look
ing forward to the World Series.

| pared financially to meet problems
this year than they were in 1884.
Many remembering 1884, carried
over somewhat larger supplies of
feed although the severity of last
winters weather spoiled many plans
to enter this feeding season with
better reserves.
"The great unknown is the, COM
ing winter. Will it be severe like
last winter? Then low temperature
and heavy SHOWS forced farmers to
draw on their resources much ear
lier than they had expected and
finally much more heavily. The
time of the first killing frost may
figure Importantly in the final out
turn of corn.
Cattle have been coming to
market from an ever widening area
where feeds of all kinds has been
shortened by the drought. The
slaughter of calves during July was
the largest for that month on rec
ord. The number of beef steers at
Chicago was 40 per cent larger than
for any July in five years.
High corn prices undoubtedly
will force an early movement of pigs
to market this fall This will
mean relatively heavy slaughter
during October, November and Dec
ember accompanied by a consider
able drop in hog prices, which in
turn will make the hog-corn price
ration still more unfavorable.
with conditions as now seem
eprobable, there seems to be little
likelihood that the number of sows
bred to farrow next spring will be
as large as last spring. If corn
prospects in 1887 are good, an in
crease in the fall of 1887 over that of
1886 is probable, but it now seems
unlikely that the total pig crop Of
1887 will equal that of this year.
1t will be 1888 before a substantial
increase in production will take
place and it may be 1910 before
production will reach volume
comparable with the five year av-
erage 1929-33.
1T is hard to predict what might
happen to the crop as result of
the drought, but it is entirely pos
sible that some turkeys may be
marketed early on account of high
prices for feed. 1t seems now that
the price of corn will remain ex-
tremely high. This would, of
course, mean that for the early
market there will be a good many
off quality turkeys marketed in
stead of being finished fully"
The 1886 milo and grain sorghum
acreage of Imperial Valley now in
dicates an even lighter crop than
was first predicted. The 1895 grain
sorghum acreage was 45,575 acres.
Not all of this acreage was harvest
ed. The 1886 acreage according to
the September survey is 1888
acres. A considerable portion of
this will be cut for silage and used
for pasturage instead of harvest.
The decrease in the total grain
sorghum crop for the country as a
whole is A per cent. And while the
Argentine corn imports have been
a factor in threatening the local
price of milo, feterila and hegaria,
that sources as competitor has
not yet, nor is it greatly probable
that Argentine vii dump quantities
of her product at low prices in the
face of the existing world situation.

spend. For the chains pay the full market
price for what they buy.
Through their many stores, trained sales force and
big advertising programs, the chains have tremendous
influence in increasing food consumption In fact they
must do volume business to make money with their
low profit margin And when the chains work hardest
for themselves you they're working for farm

In a study of publications of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture, H
Lee Landerman, assistant farm ad-
wiser finds some interesting facts
relative to status and outlook OF
many farm crops. Herewith are
quoted statements from various
bulletins Of up-to-date publication
by the department at Washington:
1.-The drought this year is the
worst the country has known in
more than two generations in re-
spect to both heat and drynesS.
THE season is now so far along
that no amount of rain will change
the output of the principal northern
crops. Rain might help potatoes
somewhat; but to corn, oats, spring
wheat and other small grains, as
well as to fruits and canning crops
the damage is done.
Corn, the mainstay of the animal
industries is about half a crop; it
is the smallest in more than SO
years. 1t is being widely cut for
fodder and silage. The total pro-
duction of the four chief grains
corn, oats, barley and grain sor-
ghums appears likely to amount to
not much over 100000 tons
40 PER CENT LESS than average.
"The tight feed situation is be-
ginning to bear down heavily on
livestock producers. Feeding has
been necessary in the north for q
month past. Dairymen in many
instances have had to feed not only
grain but hay and silage as they
would in winter. Pastures in many
places have been virtually bare OF
feed.
"The drought has cut the output
of milk and butter sharply. July
butter production was the smallest
In 13 years. Butter prices have ad-
vanced accordingly.
Present indications are that this
years production of feed grains, in
cluding all corn, grain sorghums
oats and barley will be only about
$4,000, 900 tons in 1884 and a yearly
average of 100,000,0O0 tons during
the 1923-32 period.
by utilizing considerable share
of the reserves of old corn and oats
carried over from last year, the
amount of these grains used for al
purposes during the current l.
month period may be increased Il
$4,000, 900 tons in 1884, (the leanes'
feed year in recent history. Pres.
ent indications are that this short
age of grain and the resulting higf
prices are causing a heavy hquida'
ton of brood sows and will necessi-
tate early marketings of most spring
pigs and the close culling Of poultry
crops.
For many scattered localities anc
for two extensive areas, one center
ing in eastern Oklahoma and the
other in southwestern North Da'
kota the drought has not yet beer
broken, but the drought as Z
threat to this years crops appears
TO be passing. OF course, the feeo
shortage will not be relieved unit
new crops can be harvested anc
two or three years will probably
pass before live stock numbers are
back TO normal. The wheat bel
still lacks the reserve of subSoi
moisture that would give assurance
of a good crop next year, but, or
the whole growing crops, erup
those of the southwest are showing
definite signs of recovery.
Livestock numbers are smaller
consumer demand is stronger. i
is of course, also true that generally

DAcK in 1907 George Sawyer decided that scrub
ID cattle too expensive to raise! The way he
figured it, cheap stock couldn't pay out in worth
while way either for beef milk.
Besides that, he wanted to get out of farming
than just making living. He wanted stock he could
take real pride in Also he believed that by helping
raise standards in the cattle industry he could increase
profits for his neighbors as well as himself.
The result that George Sawyer started breeding
and selling what he considers the very best kind of
stock for San Joaquin valley conditions pedigreed
Shorthorns.
SShorthorns the largest of the beef breeds, Mr.
Sawyer told me- They mature early fattenup readily,
give fine beef stock and adaptable for milk pro-
duction. You turn good Shorthorn bull out on
the range and grade up your herd"
George Sawyer's activities bring him into contact
with farmers all his sectiOncatte and dairymen,
grain and fruit growers, sheepmen.

told me, Il try to get at the why of them

More Consumption Means
More Money for Farmers

There's doubt about the effect of this kind of SELL
ing When housewives know they getting fine quail
ity meat scientifically slaughtered, cut and handled
they buy meat. We cattlemen will see this
larger consumption reflected in our incomes And we'll
be encouraged to raise the finer kind of stock that
brings better prices too.
II guess I've been talking mostly from the stock
mans viewpoint. But growers of all products have the
need for effective marketing help when their
crops go to market All of farmers are better off
with the chain stores partners, working to in
crease consumption of quality foods.
"The major food chains, following Sideways lead,
have now made an agreement with our farmers
cooperatives to carry on farmer-consumer selling
