FORECAST DRY AUGUST TO INCREASE FARMER’S WOES

JULY RAINS IN MIDWEST FAR UNDER NORMAL Butter and Cream Records Show Great Drop in Dairy Products. FIVE STATES WILTING Unusual Locations of High and Low Pressure Areas Blamed. / r n.ted press CHICAGO. Aug. 2.—Weather predictions of “fair and wanner” brought despair today to fanners of five midwestem states where crops are wilting under one of the most protracted dry spells in the memory of the oldest residents. Pastures, as well as com and other late crops, are reported suffering from the drought in Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. Butter and cream records showed an almost unprecedented decrease in dairy production, due apparently to poor pasturage. Fears Worse Drought in August C. A. Donncl, federal weather forecaster for the Chicago district, said rainfall in the five states during July was only 35 per cent of normal. Many localities, he said, have had no rain since early last month. Drought conditions may be aggravated during August, Donnel said, by record hot weather which would draw even more moisture from the parched ground. He predicted less than normal rainfall for the next month. “Precipitation for the rest of the nation was about normal during July,” Donnell said, “but in the arid section of the midwest the rainfall in several localities was less than half of normal. Por the entire year the decrease has been about 27 per cent and for July the precipitation was even less.” Records of the weather bureau here show that the driest place in the midwest is Estherville, la., where no rain has fallen since July 8. Sioux City, la., Urbana, 111., and Terre Haute, Ind.. have had no rain for three weeks. Unusual Conditions Unusual locations of low and high pressure areas are responsible for the drought in this section,” Donnel said. “Millions of tons of water have been evaporated from the upper Great Lakes this summer, but the resultant rain has fallen in other sections. “A consistent high pressure area in the southwest which defies explanation. is one reason for the continued drought.” Feed Wheat to Stock r>“ United Press MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Aug. 2 Low wheat prices which confront northwest farmers may be the means by which they escape from the problem of the present surplus, market reports indicated today. Reports from 1.000 northwest farm centers showed that for the first time wheat, instead of corn and barley, is being fed to stock. ’ Tire reason for this, it was said is that wheat now is cheaper than the other grains. In the Minneapolis wheat pit this week, prices crashed to levels, which not even the oldest traders had ever seen. Only during Civil war days was wheat believed to have sold as low as it did during a break last Thursday. Prices recovered somewhat later. Little corn and much wheat is grown in western Dakotas and Montana and these are the sections where the surplus wheat is expected to be fed to animals on a large scale. Continued di ought over the entire northwest also has been a factor in forcing farmers to use wheat as feed. Withi the unbroken heat wave the crop has shrivelled and the quality has not been equal to that of other years.

URGE RETENTION OF EXTRA RAIL FARES Pennsylvania Seeks to Avert Loss of Limited Train Revenues. Brief urging the retention of extra fares on limited trains operating between Indianapolis. New York, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland and between New York and Chicago has been filed with the interstate commerce commission, it was announced by Pennsylvania railroad headquarters here today. Arguments against the extra fares have been heard recently by the commissioners. The brief points out that between New York and Chicago, the extra fire has been charged for the last fifty years and between Indianapolis und the other points mentioned, for ihe last twenty years. In 1920. the : interstate commerce commission granted a 20 per cent increase in these charges. "The revenue received by the eastern trunk lines from extra fares amounts to upward of $6,001,000 yearly, which the railroads can ill afford to lose," the brief contends.

ANARCHYJN CHINA Southern Part Ravaged by Bandit Hordes. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Official dispatches from China indicated today virtual anarchy reigns in the southern half of the republic. This condition, it was learned reliably has caused apprehension on the part of officials, who fear the Nationalist regime will be unable to restore order. Officials who surveyed the district from the South China sea to the Yangste river at Wuchang found that with the exception of some interior towns in the control of war lords there was little responsible government in the area. State department officials received with grave concern reports that socalled “Communists” or bandits, after sacking Changsha, are moving onward toward Hankow. Americans in the bandit infested district have been warned several times to evacuate.

LIFT EMBARGO; RUSSIAN TRADE WAR AVERTED Lowman Issues Orders to Permit Entry of Cargoes of Pulpwood. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—The threatened trade war between the United States and Soviet Russia had been averted today by the action of the treasury department in lifting the embargo placed on Russian pulpwood last week by Assistant Treasury Secretary Lowman. Lowman Friday night issued orders to collector of customs to permit entry of seventy-nine shiploads of the product. Several of the ships are in New York awaiting entry, about a dozen more are en route to this country from Archangel, while the rest of the seventy-nine ships have been chartered to transport the product here during August and September. Revocation of the order followed closely a second hearing on the subject, at which representatives of the Amtorg Trading Corporation, official Soviet trade agency in this country, again denied convict labor was employed in loading the pulpW’ood. The pulpwood had been barred under a section of the new’ SmootHawley tariff which prohibits importation of goods produced in whole or in part by forced labor. After hearing the protests of the Soviet agency and those of American paper mill owners and shipping interests, Lowman announced that the evidence that convict labor had been used was found to be ’‘conflicting and inconclusive” and "not sufficient.” Hoosier Rescued In China Bit Times Special LYNN.
