Midwest S Heat Trims
Corn Crop Prospects,
Key 10 Meat Supply
BY the Assoeioied Press

Next years meat supply hung
in the balance today as the Mid
western heat wave trimmed off,
Icial forecasts of corn production
and threatened to cause still
further losses before harvest
time.
Plagued at planting time by cool
weather and floods, corn now has
run into hot, dry weather which
the Agriculture Department. in its
regular monthly crop report, de-
scribed as a serious threat" to all
crops in the Midwest.
Corn is the key to livestock and
meat production.
A short crop this year would af-
feet next years output of meats
and other livestock products.
However, meat supplies for the
last three or four months of this
year and the early months of 1948
are expected to be large regardless
of how this years corn turns out.
Further Decline Possible.
The department forecast the crop
as of August l at 1859 ,959 900 BUSH
els, a decline of about Ill ,000, 600
bushels from its July Is estimate.
The later estimate did not take into
account damage caused by the
hot weather so far this month.
Oficials have said that a corn
crop of about 2,850,0O0, 900 bushels
would be needed to maintain meat
production at this years rate of
l55 pounds per consumer. They
added, however, that it is highly
improbable that corn prospects
would deteriorate enough to drop
meat supplies to the prewar average
of 126 pounds.
Affected most by a short corn crop
would be livestock farmers in East
ern and Southern areas who depend
in full or in part on Midwestern
grain for their feed supplies.
Overall Picture Favorable.
Despite the gloomy corn outlook,
the department painted favorable
picture of overall production pros
poets. Based on, August l condi-
tions, aggregate production would
be per cent above the 1926 aver
age, and only 2 per cent below last
years record volume. .,
But continued unfavorable weather
could reduce total production below
the August estimate, officials said.
The department. said most of the
largest winter wheat crop in history
was harvested by the end of July,
and that an earlier promise of a
record total wheat crop is being
borne out despite q slight decrease
in spring wheat.
Production of all wheat was put at
! ,428, 900 900 bushels compared with
last years 1,1557l5 900, the previous
record. Ofhcials said mors feeding
of wheat to Offset prospective short
corn supplies is likely during the
year ahead. More could be fed and
still allow record exports of this
grain to shortage areas.

Der 1, ls45, the board ruled the
compensation should be 80 cents
per mail mile for an average
daily load of 400 pounds and TO
cents per mail ton mile for the
excess over 400 pounds.
The board awarded $685. for
mail operations between Miami and
Leopoldville, North Africa, from
September 81, 1914, to January 8,
1945, when the service was sus-
pended. On the recommendation
of the War Department. this serv-
ice was found to have been "in the
interest of national defense objec-
tives."

What The Wage
BUYS Is The
important Thing

Nearly everyone knows it doeSn't
make much difference how many
dollars are paid a man in daily
wages. In the last analysis, the i'm
portant thing is how much OF the
necessary and good things of life he
can take home with him after hav-
ing expended his daily wage. The
cost of living is the final determining
factor-and everyone admits that
simple truth
Well. with that idea in mind let's
look at a comparison OF what the
average working man in Russia can
buy with a weeks wages and what
the American working man can buy
with his average weeks wages.
Here is the comparison, as reported
in an article in the United States
News. with the data taken from an
official report:
The Soviet worker can buy 221a
pounds of bread with a week
wages: the American 394 pounds OF
bread with a weeks wages.
A weeks income will procure for
the Russian 1863 pounds of sugar;
the American, with his weeks wage,
can buy 5037 pounds OF sugar.
Take milk. The Russian can buy
with an average weeks wage, 1872
quarts: the American, 276 quarts.
The Russian worker will buy only
8.4 pounds of beef with his weeks
wages; the American would be able
to purchase with his weeks wages
3l.8 pounds of beef.
The Russian would find himself
with only 3. 8 pounds of butter in
exchange for his hard earned week S
pay; the average American would
be able to purchase FOB pounds OF
butter for a weeks work.
Suppose the worker IS in need OF
a suit. In Russia it would take
2 weeks pay of the average worker;
in America it would require one
weeks pay.
In Russia it would take Is weeks
pay of the average worker to buy
a radio; in America, one weeks pay
would put the same type Of radio
in the average workers home.
A pair of shoes will cost the aver
age Russian worker from two tc
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1947-07-17

three weeks pay; the American for
a weeks pay can buy from six to
eight pairs of shoes.
The article goes on to say that
If the Russian worker tried to pro-
vide his family with anything like
a balanced diet, his entire wages
would have to 60 for food. That
can't be done, of course, and so the
Russian relies largely on black
bread. White bread is so expensive
that only weIl-to-do persons can af-
ford it. We quote further from the
stAutomobiles, refrigerators, ra-
dios or monographs, things that are
common among American families of
modest circumstances, are out Of the
question for any except few of the
wealthiest Russians.
It has been said that comparisons
are odious. But they sometimes
nevertheless, disclose mountains OF
truth. In view of the conditions
here and in Russia, what American
would want to trade his white bread
for the Russians black, his many
possessions and privileges for the
Russians bare existence under a
police state?
AT various times this column has
taken a shot at the silly escapades
of adolescent youth, especially their
proneness to hold dad and mother
in derision, and to rebel against
and to be provoked by the parents
wise and well-meant advice. The
verdict of so many adolescents is
that the unfortunate parents are
lust so old fashioned and so far be
hind the times that it is really pitt
full This verdict of the young mind
prevails despite the fact that dad
NAV be the head of a successful bust
ness or profession or big enterprise
and that mother may be wise and
successful woman of culture and re-
finement. That seemingly makes &c
difference. The youth has learned
more in his or her short IS, Is, 2C
wears than has the poor benighteo
parents in their 40, so, or so years.
! In those various sundry times
when we were induced to speak o.
these perplexing affairs, we were
lead into doing so by hearing some
harassed mother complain that "YoI
simply cannot do a thing with them
YOU can't tell them a thing; they
know it all. The cry of worried
parents through the ages.
Well, now the passing days anc
