CROP PROSPECTS
ABOUT EQUAL
TO LAST Year

Montana's small grain production
will be fairly near the 1912 production
record if present indicated yields are
maintained, according to the crop re-
port released today by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. In 1912 the
five grains-wheat, corn, oats, barley.
and rye-produced total of 11O,952,-
600 bushels, topping the previous 1897
record of 107,432 900 bushels by $780,
| The present indication of 96.934. 900
bushels for 1913 is 1867 below last
years exceptionally large grain crop.
Winter wheat acreage is down
drastically from a year earlier. with
an abandonment of 379o of last falls
planted acreage, mainly due to winter
kill, now indicated. Most of this
acreage has been replanted to spring
grains and flaxseed. Winter wheat
production for 1943 estimated at 49,
$4,000 bushels is down to less than
one-half of last years record produc-
ton, both as result of this winter
kill and the lower indicated yield of
1870 bushels. On the other hand, the
spring wheat crop at 45,S06,000 bush
els is up 1796 from year ago, due
to diversion of killed-out winter wheat
acreage to spring wheat, the lifting
of acreage restrictions, and to the
high indicated yield of 1870 bushels
If present indications are borne out,
the present wheat crop will be the
sixth largest in the states history.
Montana farmers have greatly ex-
banded barley acreage to take care
of the record hog crop. Indicated
production of 14,906,000 bushels of
barley is the largest on record, and
21S6 over production of last year.
Production of oats at 16,415,000 bush
els would be down 1879 from the 1912
crop, but still about double that of
the 1O-year average preceding 1912.
Strong shifts to war crops asked
for by the government are evident by
comparing production of 1912 and in
Dictated production for 1913 for flax,
dry beans and peas, and potatoes.
New production records will be set
for dry beans, dry peas, and flaxseed
Potato production has varied widely
from year to year, but the 1943 crop
will be the largest in recent years,
(since 1880. Production date for
these crops is included in the table
below.
Prior to July 1, weather has been
too cool for normal progress of such
late crops as corn, BEANS and pota- |
toes, and has hindered growth and |
thinning of sugar beets and progress
of hay crops. However, small grains
have been distinctly benefited by the |
accompanying rains, as have been

CORN SUPPLY
CRISIS SAID
man MADE

WASHINGTON. - In statement
submitted to the senate committee or
small business, of which he is chair
man, Senator James E. Murray OF
Montana expressed amazement at
what he called the failure of appro
pirate federal agencies to take ade'
quate steps to avert the developing
corn supply crisis. He urged the
committee to consider recommends.

was easy to foresee, and many people
warned that it would come. There is
nothing unnatural about the idea that
more hogs would eat more corn. II
the hog population was to be raised
from approximately S0,000,000 in 1910
to nearly 14O,O00,0O0 three years later,
of course it would follow that there
would be a proportionate increase in
millions of bushels of corn consumed
by this growing hog population. This
in turn would leave less corn for
other livestock, less for poultry, and
nothing-as is now the case-for in
dustrial uses.
without the requisite corn to meet
industrial requirements, vital war in
dustries will stop operation" Senator
Murray concluded. "To permit an ex-
cess hog population to eat up the corn
urgently needed for industrial and
war purposes would not only be stup-
id but criminal"

"On behalf of the Tennessee State

LEGAL ATTACK ON
BURIAL COOP THROWN
OUT OF COURT

N. KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The first
of a series of state wide legal attacks
on the burial co-operatives of Iowa
was thrown out of court in Vinto,
Iowa, June 20, according to the Co
operative Consumer.
The case was an custer action
brought by Iowa's attorney general at
the instigation of the state morticians
association which feared the increase
of burial co-operatives which are al
ready serving $4,000 members in the
state, providing first class burial serv-
ices at a fraction of the going rate.
The first of the series of actions was
directed against the Keystone Burial
Association, a funeral cooperative
with 100 family members in Benton,
Poweshiek and Tama counties.
Judge B. o. Tankersley held that
the attorney general had no legal
right to bring such case against
the burial association. This is a
victory for the Co-ops against the or
ganized funeral directors of the
state" the Cooperative Consumer de-
cldfeu. IL WOuld seem likely, III view
of this reversal, that the attorney
general would drop the custer action
against other burial co-operatives of
the state The custer action was
based on the grounds that the burial
associations are doing business not
authorized by the law under which
they are incorporated and are Illegal
ly practicing the profession of en-
halming"

MORE SCRAP
is NEEDED

The need for heavy scrap iron and
steel is still serious and important
problem, according to VIM. e. Rae,
justify this statement the steel indus
try has just agreed to accept and pur-
chase prepared iron from all parts of
the United States regardless of how
remote the area or how high the
freight This does not mean UMPIRE
tinuous outlet for unprepared scrap
from western Montana at the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company
at East Helena and for unprepared
scrap in the extreme eastern Mon,
tana, continuous market at Duluth,
Minnesota.
Do not be complacent-this war is
a long way from being over. War
material production is on the in
crease. Scrap collections are getting
tougher and we must have scrap for
guns and ammunition for our fighting
forces.
A tentative plan has been arranged
with Colonel Van Auken in charge
of the 474th Quartermaster Truck
Regiment now located at Fort Harri-
son, at Helena, Montana to assist
each county chairman in the collec-
ton of scrap throughout his county
where such chairman has listed the
definite locations of donated scrap to
be hauled. No specific limit of the
number of trucks or men for county
drives has ben placed by Colonel Van
Auken. However, when such trucks
are made available to county salvage
chairman upon their request, it will
be necessary for the county salvage
chairman to take care of the food and
housing of men and officers as there
are no funds available to the officers
and men for carrying out this type
of project. 1t is indeed too bad that
our fighting men not only have to
drill and fight but also have to pick
up the scrap materials from which
their fighting equipment is made
However, their kind offer to assist us
will be accepted and we hope that
each county chairman will immediate
ly arrange for a definite and we'll
planned collection program making
use of the army's splendid offer
When your program has been well de-
fined advise this office of the num-
Der of trucks and men and the time
needed for a complete coverage of
your county. We will Immediately
make the necessary arrangements

Yesterday from Representative Luce.
Republican, of Connecticut that

In a letter accepting the Presi-
dents invitation to meet him We'd
nesday at the White House with
other new Congress members, she
told the Chief Executive of home
front fears that haunt" the legisla-
. tive body.
Foremost among the fears" she
said, were the possibilities of ser
iouS, II not disastrous food short
ages" resulting from conflict be-
tween the military program and the
farm program" and that the ag-
gravated muddling Of the Manpower
Commission may lead to a
calamitous cramping of war in
dustry."
Hits WPB Vacillation.
Also haunting Congress, wrote
Mrs. Luce, was the fear that the
protracted wrangling and vacilating
authority in the War Production
Board may yet take it toll on the
battle field"
Pointing out that few freshmen
legislators will have an opportunity
Wednesday to tell the President
their thoughts, she declared:
Sure of military victory
though this Congress is, we are not
complacent about the war effort.
Indeed, we are very much perturbed
For while we feel that our cause
is safe on the battle fronts, we are
deeply alarmed by the many dis
quoting and even explosive circum-
stances that face us on the home
'front.'

separates us in our will to win this

We are deeply aware, she wrote,
that labor now, as always, is one
OF the great pillars of the Nation
and the very backlog of the war
effort. We do not, I believe. intend
d to use our power to penalize the
workingman, or organized labor as
a whole, for the abuses which small,
selfish labor factions have perpe-
trated in wartime on our outraged
and heavily burdened people"
The War Manpower Commission,
she said, docs not seem to have
yet done the elementary arithmetic
of finding out how many men and
women are needed by whom and
for what and where they can be
got"
