FOOD SUPPLY CUT
SMALL, j. s. SAYS
Drought Decrease to Affect
Total by Only 3 Per Cent,
Officials Predict.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A national food basket almost as
full as last years was predicted by
Agriculture Department economists
yesterday for the IL months ending
next June
In a special report made public by
the department, they said:
Although the drought has cut
sharply into the Nations feed crops,
the total supply of foods in general
for the IL months ending with June,
1887, is indicated to be only, about 3
per cent below that of 1856 and l
per cent less than in 1934-35.
Since exports of many of these
products probably will be less than in
the previous year, the supply of food
available for domestic consumption
will be almost as large as last year"
Surveying the drought's damage to
live stock feed supplies in another re-
port, the department said "the
drought situation became increas-
ingly serious" during the first half of
August.
Livestock Without Water.
Many farmers were reported to be
feeding hay and grain they had
planned to save for the Winter, and
there was no water for live stock on
88 per cent of the Nations farms
August IS.
This very situation was cited in the
acf tyI 10
meat production in the II months
ending next June would be slightly
higher than last year. The short
feed supply will cause heavier mar
ketings of live stock, the economists
said.
Increases in pork and lamb prob
ebly will more than offset decreases
In beef and veal, the report said. An
abundance of lower grade meat was
reported in prospect, with higher
grades decreasing. About. per cent
more poultry was predicted.
Total supplies of canned vegetables
were estimated IL per cent less than
the large 1886 supply, but 16 per
cent more than that of 1934-35.
Fresh vegetable supplies were de-
scribed as about the same as last
year.
S Per Cent Milk Decrease Seen.
A 5 per cent reduction in the milk
supply was seen, and the production
Of fresh fruits was indicated to be the
smallest in recent years.
This years late potato crop was
estimated at 294, 537 900 bushels. COM
pared with 3S7,e7s,0OO bushels last
season. Production of dry edible
beans was forecast at about $500 900
bags less than the unusually large
1885 crop.

wheat would be Offset, the survey
