rail shipments alike, in addition to
causing extensive property damage
and loss of life.
In the middlewest. farm work was
as much as three weeks behind
schedule. with only half the oats
sown in Iowa, and much Of that
acreage planned to be diverted to
corr and soybeans in Illinois. Warm,
sunny weather was needed in the
winter wheat belt in the southern
great plains req Because Of blight
and excessive moisture. the south
east feared for its potato crop.
Vegetable and fruit produce en-
route to northern markets from the
west and south was held up by flood
conditions through the Mississippi
river basin. A stimulus to the black
market was feared through the pos
sible diversion of crops to trucks.
