Drought

plagued Europe's struggle to
climb up out of the ruins left by
war. AS August simmered toward
its close, reports from abroad told
of new enemy destroying crops and
threatening added starvation.
This enemy was drought.
In Germany it hadn't been so dry
for so years. Loss in the potato crop
might run anywhere from Is to near
ly so per. cent, officials said. With
pasture, fodder and sugar beets
crisped by burning sun, forest fires
started, drinking water commenced to
run low.
France reported thousands of dead
fish floating in the Seine, while in
Britain milk production faltered.
Nature bore heavily on the Ameri-
can corn crop, as well. Through most
of August, the parched Midwest lost
100000 bushels of corn each day.
Near five Iowa communities aerial
rain-making services sprinkled clouds
with dry ice. One pilot had been
promised $1,000 if he could produce
"a real gully-washer."
A few sprinkles of artificially pro-
duced rain fell on golf course before
natural showers finally cracked the
costly heat wave.
Two weeks before the first showers
broke the month-long drought in sec
tions of the corn belt, the US. De-
partment of Agriculture estimated the
corn crop at 2,437 100000 bushels,
compared with last years record pro-
duction of 3,288,0O0, 900.

Income, OUtgo

In 1910 the per capita income of
Americans was $575 year. Now the
Department of Commerce reports that
it climbed to $1,000 in 1946. The figure
may be even higher now.
On paper this looks impressive, but
in wondering where all those added
dollars have gone, housewives and
economists know that the pre-war
dollar would buy a whole lot more
than today's. According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, can income of
$4,000 now purchases goods and SER
vices worth only about $1,000 in pre-
war times.
Nevertheless, for sheer size the ma
tional take-home makes stimulating
reading. For instance: Last year the
total income paid to individuals in
the United Sttaes amounted to $780,
OOO,OOO,000, about nine per cent more
than the ,O00,0OO,O0O total for
1945. (In that year, the Treasury De-
partment has announced, film star
Betty Cradle received the highest
salary of any woman in the country
-S200,000.)
A big rise in farm income last year
gave agricultural states, such as
Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, the
greatest gain. Where war industries
had been prominent smaller in

victory.

federal report, sis the concentration
of low-income states in the South" D"
MisSissippi's $555 for 1916 was the
lowest of all.
In almost all states last years per
capita income exceeded wartime
highs, and in three-fourths of the
states it was at least double the 1910
level.
