Crops 10 Run Average
For 10 Years Despite
UnfavorabIe Spring
By fhe ASgocioted Press

Helped by modern farming ma
chinery. the Nations farmers have
overcome effects of an unfavor-
able spring to promise a good
sized volume of crops this year.
In its June crop report yester-
day, the Agriculture Department
said production prospects equal
the high average of the past 10
years. period which covered
bumper wartime and postwar
yields.
Unless conditions turn bad, the
harvest should be only about 6
per cent below last years near
record output.
Tractor-driven machinery en-
abled many farmers to plant acre
ages Of corn, soybeans and other
crops which could not have been
seeded at this years delayed dates
with horse-drawn equipment
The report gave specific esti-
mates for only a few crops. Larger
volumes than last year were fore
east for rye, oats and barley, but
smaller than last year for wheat,
and fruits, except citrus.
The wheat crop was indicated
at 945 million bushels compared
with 1,141 100000 last year and
1,031 ,000,0 900 for the 10-year aver
age. While it will be the first
crop in seven years to fall below
the billion -bushel mark, the in
dicated crop may be only about SIS
million bushels less than expected
market demands. The deficit can
be filled from an above-average
reserve of $50 million bushels from
last year.
The department said crop pros
poets varied widely by areas. They
were said to be better than aver
age in North and South Atlantic
States, about average in South
Central States and slightly below
average in the North Central and
Western States.

berg one of the best speakers
among the wives of Washington
lawmakers.
When her parents moved to Fort
Wayne. she attended high school
there and then matriculated at the
University of Michigan. She
wanted to be a librarian. but. the
necessity of making her own way
caused her to switch to teaching
After teaching at Saginaw,
Mich, she returned to Fort Wayne
for six years of English and his
tory teaching. Then she went to
Chicago to work for the United
Charities.
First Conducted Column.
Mrs. Vandenberg's introduction
to newspaper work was as the con-
ductor of column. How to Earn
Money at Home" for the Chicago
Tribune. Later she wrote full
page features for that newspaper
until she accepted a position as
advertising copy writer for the
j. L. Hudson department store in
Detroit.
1t was while she was on this job
that Arthur Vandenberg came into
her life again.
Mrs. Vandenbergs writing urge
took other forms besides her
newspaper work and diary-keep-
ing. For two years in the late
sos she was Washington column
ist for the National Historical
Magazine of the Daughters Of he
American Revolution
This entaled the work OF get
ting together 10000 words q
month, for which she hired q
typist and spent considerable time
in research.
In keeping with a lifelong
penchant for helping young girls,
Mrs. Vandenberg became chair
man of the Girls Reserve of the
YWCA and served on the board
of the National Camp Fire Girls,
one of her pet organizations.

During the war she assisted with
Red Cross public relations and
wrote for the volunteer Red
Cross magazine. She also sent
monthly letters back to the
Women's City Club Bulletin at
Grand Rapids.
For six years Mrs. Vandenberg
was national vice president of the
Delta Gamma sorority.
Washington society knew Mrs.
Vandenberg as one of it's most
resourceful hostesses. She liked
to cook and to concoct new reci-
pes, a talent that caused guests
to comment:
"Her oyster bar parties are fetes
you won't forget, and her potato
doughnuts always have guests
asking for the recipe"
She took credit for perSuading
her studious, stay-at-home hus-
band to mix more at official par
ties-a decision he later found
helpful in keeping his finger on
