South, the only thing we can sug-
gest is to put IN the time refur-
bishing tackle, tieing flies and talk
ing things over around hot stove.
For the hunters, if they don't mind
the weather, there's plenty of op-
portunity to use up some Of those
long-hoarded shells they didn't fire
at ducks or upland game on the
abundant crow population in this
section.
Saturday, for instance, was a
humdinger for crow shooting. Dur
ing the storm. the crows came into
the roosts flying just over the tops
: of the trees. When they flew over
open country they barely skinned
the ground in an effort to keep out
Of the wind and falling snow. The
weather was so tough topside, they
didn't roost in the trees, but herded
together on the ground like chick
ems, according to one of our friends.
This friend sailed forth alone Sat-
urday afternoon to one roost and
shot until dark, using up more than
nine boxes Of shells. He spent SUM-
day driving around the country

NEW YORK. Aug 10.-Seepage OF
water into four underground cables
knocked out 406 teletype circuits OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. early today.
Fifteen of the circuits are used
by news services. All of those were
restored within four hours.
Most of the circuits. however,
serve brokerage houses and CONNER

and Midtown Manhattan. The tele-
phone company said it would take
"a number of hours" to get them all
in operation.
The water penetrated the lead
sheath covering the cables and
grounded the cables, the company
said
The failure put out of commission

order to strengthen the economic

On Crops, Expected
To Top All Records
Big Corn Harvest Likely
To Lower RetoiI Meat
Prices Next Spring
D. c. GROUPS Planning to Join
Nationwide Meat-Buying Strike.
Page Az.
By the Assoeioted Press


The Government prepared a
progress report today on a crop
season that looks as though 1t
will put more foodstuff into
harvest bins than ever before in
history.
Major interest in the report cen
tered on corn-the major raw mate
rial for meats, dairy products and
poultry. A month ago. the Agricul-
ture Department predicted this crop
would be the largest on record. To-
days corn estimate seemed likely to
be higher than previously forecast
A record corn crop is expected to
help bring lower retail meat, milk
butter, egg and poultry prices next
year. Prices of these food items are
at, or close to, record levels now be-
cause last years corn crop was q
near failure. AS a result, farmers
were forced to curtail production.
Price Cuts Seen in Spring.
A big corn crop-with accompany
ing lower grain prices-would en-
courage farmers to expand livestock
output again. Under normal con-
ditions, this increased production
should begin to show up in lower
retail prices next spring.
A month ago. the department
forecast corn at 1928, 1862, 900 bushels
This topped the 1916 record oil
3.249 ESQ., 900. The weather has been
so favorable since then that experts
would not be surprised If todays
estimate were not close to $3.50,
100000.
Likewise, further increase IN
the wheat estimate appeared pos
sible. A month ago. the crop was
indicated at 41,751 900 bushels,
the second largest OF record. 1t
would not take much of an increase
in the estimate to exceed last year S
record crop of 1854, $4,000.
Record Grain Crops Expected.
It appears certain now that the
combined production of all grains
corn, wheat. oats, rye, barley and
rice-will far exceed that OF any
previous season. AS a result, the
