L.ack0f Rain
Makes Heavy
Loss In Corn

Ohio farmers are losing thou-
sands of dollars every day 1t
doesn't rain.
The statewide drought, which
started more than month ago,
gives indications of cutting this
years Ohio corn from Is to 20
per cent.
Other late crops such as soy
beans and potatoes also are be-
ing hurt.
Pasture land is drying up in
all parts of the state and farm
ers in some areas have been for
ced to feed hay and sileage to
their cattle thereby cutting into
next winters feed supply.
Even heavy rainfall at this time
will do little to improve the crop
outlook.
These are the salient facts
gathered in an associated press
survey.
The u. S. weather bureau says
the southern two-thirds of the
state has been hit hardest, with
the southwestern part in the
worst shape.
Less than one-quarter inch of
rain has fallen in this area dur
ing August, against normal Aug
ust rainfall of more than three
inches.
Last weekend's rain was too
little to do any appreciable good.
Il ranged from only trace in
many places to a few hundredths
of an inch in others.
Farm leaders and weather bur
eau observers say heavy rains now
may help late grain and hay
crops but will not benefit other
crops very much. Because of the
lack of rain, late corn and soy
beans are maturing earlier than
usual.
In southern Ohio, the Farm
Home Administration is making q
survey to see If farmers losses
will be high enough to justify
making them eligible for federal
disaster relief. The organization
expects to make recommended.
ton to its Washington headquar.
ters later this week.
II the area is declared a disas.
ter area, the organization will de.
termine if local banks are able To
lend farms enought money to tide
them over until next year. III not
the government will lend them
money at low interest rates.

Over the coming labor day
weekend some 400 persons will
die in traffic accidents.
They don't have to die that
way but they will--for a variety
of reasons.
Some will die because of care
lessness; some in an effort to
travel too many miles in too few
hours, resulting in fatigue. Some
will die because of disinclina-
ton to yield the right of way to
the other driver.
Mostly they will die because
millions of motorists underesti-
mate the responsibility of plotting
a couple of tons of fast moving
metal over heavily congested
highways.
1t has been said the automo-
bile is one of the greatest boons
of the modern era. 1t is also one
the greatest man-killers of all
