BROUGHT HARD BLOW TO CORN Private Crop Experts Say Corn Crop Billion Under Normal Chicago, Aug. 4.—XU.RX- Drought and record-breaking temperatures In the middle west reduced the nation's corn crop by nearly 700,000,000 bushels in July, grain experts reported today. by three months of scorching sun the United States corn harvest probably will not total more than 1,572,000,000 bushels this year, private crop experts said. Their estimate was 673,000,000 bushels less than the government's July 1 estimate and nearly I a billion bushels undar a normal crop. The five statisticians representing Chicago grain Arms also estimated a spring wheat crop of 111,000,000 bushels, 25,000,000 bushels less than the July government' estimate, and less than half of a normal crop. Brightest spot in the report was ' the estimate on winter wheat. A crop of 522,000,000 bushels was predicted, an increase of 10,000,000 bushels over the government's July 1 estimate. Private estimates on corn ranged from the 1,500,000,000 bushels predicted by H. C. Donovan to the 1,705,000,000 bushels estimated by B. W. Snow. Snow, of Bartlett-Frazier company, said the private reports outline one of the great crop disasters of American agriculture. “A shrinkage of nearly 700.000,-i 000 bushels in the potential corn crop with corresponding losses in spring wheat and other grains tells a story of crop losses that stands as a record in this country or any other," Snow said. “The condition of corn at 50.6 per cent is with one exception the lowest ever reported.” Corn crop losses in July were the greatest in the history of the country and with the exception of 1934 the yield promises to be the smallest since 1894. Meanwhile, corn futures slumped as much as four cents a bushel, the limit, on North American grain exchanges as scattered showers were reported over sections of the arid corn belt. A. W. Cook of the Chicago weather bureau said showers were scattered and very light, but futures traders who had been riding the crest of the most bullish market in history chose to liquidate a portion of their holdings. Until checked today corn prices had advanced 45*4 cents a bushel since July 1 on the Chicago market. Among the corn belt points that received light rain were Des Moines and Dubuque, la., Omaha, Neb., Rapid City, C. D., and Fort Wayne, Indiana. State officials who met with federal representations yesterday reported dangerous shortages in the Dakotas. Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. 0 4-H CALVES (■CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) first; and Floyd Arnold, second. Guernsey Champion: Clarence Schrock.
