“God the only Cause and Creator” was the subject of the. Lesson-Ser-mon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday June 10. The Golden Text was: “Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things” (Psalms 72:18). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson4Sermon was the following from the Bible: “Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besidt me there is no God” |lsa. 44:6). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook “Science and Health with Key to the Secriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Divine Mind is the only cause or Principle of ‘existence. Cause does not exist in matiter in mortal mind, or in physical forms” (p. 262). “Matter and Mind are opposites. One is; contrary to the other in its very nature .ang essenge; hence both cannot be real. Ifi one is real, the other must be unreal’” (p. 270).

Wheat Yield to be 231,704,000 Bushels Belew Normal; United States Crop Report.

Famine will be averted. Huge stocks of surplus wheat from better vears will keep the bread plates fill ed on the American table. : % The crop shrinkage figure definitely placed the 1934 drouth in the rank of national calamaties. The administration will spread at least $525,000,000 for relief of sunbaked staies. Extent of drouth damage is illustrated by comparison of the April 1 wheat estimate of 491,793,000 bushels with today’s figure. Drouth clipped 1,000,000 bushels a day from wheat porspects in April r educing the May estimate to 461,471,000. 'The department predicted a ryecrob of 18,800,000 bushels compared to 21,184,000 bushels in 1933 and an annual average production, 1927-31, of 40,800,000 bushels.

Average June 1 condition is 75.7 per cent. Spring wheat condition was placed at 41.3 per cent of normal. On the corresponding date last year it was 84.9 per cent. Average June 1 condition, 1922-31 was 83. per cent. The department estimated that 34,725,000 acres of winter wheat yielding 11.5 bushels per acre, would be harvested this year compared to 28,420,000 acres, yielding 12.4 bushels per acre, harvested last year and an average annual harvest, 1927-31 of 40,050,000 acres yielding 15.2 bushels per acre.

Last fall 41,007,000 acres was sown to winter wheat indicating abandon‘ment of 6,282,000 acres. ‘Condition of: the rye crop a week ago was 43.5 per cent of normal, compared to a May 1 condition of 68.8 per cent on April 1 condition of 63.8 per cent and a June 1 1933 condition of 73.7 per cent. Normal condition of the rye crop on June 1 is 80.8 per cent. The department estimated that 2,951,000 acres of rye, yielding 6.4 bushels per acre, would be harvested this year compared to 2,352,200 acres yielding 9 bushels per acre, harvested in 1933 and a 1932 harvest of 3,344,000 acres, yielding 12.2 bushels per acre.

Corn Best Bet as Forage Crop ‘Corn, itself, menaced by dry weath€r may save many drouth harassed farmers of the Middle West not as a grain crop, but as a forage plant, If enough ran falls by the middle or end of June, or even later 1o germinat the seed, there is still time to produce forage corn before ‘frost comes. If the fall happens to be late here is even time for early maturing varieties to produce a fair ‘quality or corn, but they can not be grown for grain on land where such planting is contrary to the provisions of any crop adjustment contract with the secretary of agriculture. Some of the few plants which will make quick and abundant forage are millet, Sudan grass, forage sorghums, and corn. But of these, the only seed which is plentiful is that of corn, according to reports to the U. 8. department of agriculture. ‘There is scarcely any Sudan and millet seed available and only about 25 carloads of forage sorghum seed. Soybeans and cowpeas can 'be planted, but, while better for the land, they do not yield so heavily as these other crops. Seed of the northern varieties of soybeans is limited although there geems to be an ample supply of Manchu and Illini. The northern limit for the successful production of cowpeas is about the southern boundary of Towa, ang the supply of seed seems to be sufficient, v Hay, feed and seed men say that taking the drouth region in general the “90-day” or early varieties of corn will make the most dependable forage crop. 3
