WASHINGTON, June 9, (UP) — V t rag <■ tory of the drought was wiitton in ciphers and decimal points tod iy when the department of agrii ulture reported the wheat crop would be -,1. ut 500,000,000—smallest since 1893. K.iminp will be averted. Huge t ck of surplus wheat from better >'■ i will keep the bread plate filled on the American table. W thter wheat will total 400,357,000 bn'.els—231,704,000 below normal. Spring wheat production will be ap- ; ximately 100,000,000 bualiels. i he destruction of w heat at the late uf 2,000,000 bushels a day definitely put the drought in the category of national calamities. President K i. e\elt was expected to rush a spec 1 mo>; age to congress today asking $525,000,000 for the relief of <li 'Ught-stricken areas. In a message to congress yester<y, Mr. Roosevelt called attention to ihc need fir long range planning to avert recurrences at crop destruction. “Many million acres of land," he id, “must lie restored to grass or tr -es if we are to prevent a new ami i in-made Sahara.

edge is great enough today to give us assurance of success in carrying through the abandonment of many million of acres for agricultural use and the replacement of these acres with other* on which at least a living can be earned. Not only is a record low- wheat crop indicated tor the United States, but according to the bureau of agriculture economics the wheat prospects in foreign countries are generally below these of a year ago. The prinj cipel exceptions where better crops I are expected, the bureau said, are the | oriental countries, including China, j Manchuria, and Japan, and certain I Mediterranean countries, notahly ! Spain, Portugal and Tunis. “Such increases, however, on the ha-i-* of pre<ent estimates are much more than offset by the indicated decreases,” the bureau added. In Canada, due to drought and grasshoppers, wheat crop situation was said to “be very serious,” indicating a 9 per cent reduction in acreage compared with last year. The federal relief administration reported 300,000 families in the midwest already were receiving drought relief. Allotments will be increased immediately in Colorado, Idaho, and
Illinois.
The fact that rain has fallen in some parts of the drought area will not cause the government to put on the brakes, according to Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. “The program was set up,” he said, “on the assumption that we would get rain. It is a matter building up a war chest to meet conditions as they present themselves.” The weather bureau promised unsettled weather for the northwestern states and the probability of rain in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Michigan and Iowa. Government inspectors already are moving into the drought area, asking farmers if they want to sell their inferior land and move to richer regions. The definite extent of the land retirement program has not been determine!, but 20 or 30 rural areas, including western sections of the Dakotas, hav> been marked for careful investigation. The government emphasized no land would he purchased until sites had been selected on which to move the migrating farmers. The agriculture department predicted the rye crop would be 18,000,000 bushels, about 3,000,000 fewer than in 1933. The hay crop was put at 51.5 per cent normal, a decline of 38 per cent from that of 1933. Detailed figures presented a dismal picture. T e winter wheat crop has shrunk 61,000,000 bushels since May l, and nearly 100,000,000 bushels since April 1. Condition of winter wheat June 1 was only 55.3 per cent of normal and that of spring wheat only 41.3 per cent. Both were the worst showings on record. The predicted total wheat crop of about 500,000,000 bushels will l»e 125,00,000 bushels less than domestic needs for the 12 months lieginning July 1. The department estimated, however, there will be a carryover of 260,000,000 bushels of old wheat. The supply thus should lie ample to meet all needs, but it will leave little reserve against possible shortages another year, “The records for June in past years show nothing comparable with the situation this year,” the department said. “Reports on condition of pastures, which .have been fairly oomparsble for perhaps 40 years, show 53.2 per cent of normal this year compared with the previous low of 75.7 in 1925. Fven winter wheat, with a condition of 53.3 per cent, is below all previous records, the nearest being 62 in 1885. “The reports from some states seem unbelievably low. During the past 40 years no state has reported the conditions of pastures on June 1 below 42 |ier cent. This year South Dakota averages 8 per cent; North Dakota 16; Minnesota, 26; Iowa, 28; Nebraska, 33; Wisconsin, 42, and the whole north-central group averages 39.3. Reports on spring wheat, oats, barley and rye are about equally low in this area.”

Sicilia Chi Members Celebrate Today
ANMVFRS \ RY EVENT BRINGS FORMER STUDENTS FROM ALL SECTIONS
Xi chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity at DePauw university, is celebrating today the 75th anniversary of its founding. The celebration, which is bringing from all parts of the United States, former students of DePauw and members of the fraternity, is being held at the Sigma Cl)i house, which incidentally holds the unique honor of lieing the only fraternity house in America to have been paid for when initially occupied, and the first house of its kind, built exclusively for fraternity purposes. The chapter was founded at old Indiana Asbury, in 1859 and the names of five founders appear on the charter. They are .Pat 0. Hawes, H. C. McMullen, J. lee Rippetoe, John H. Hayne and J. iB. Wood. During the difficult war period which followed, every member enlisted and the charter was entrusted by the l>oys to Dr. Samuel Fisher, a Greencastle physician, whu had been elected to honorary memltership. After the war, Dr Fisher, with some of the original members who had returned, built the chapter up again. The mid-eighties saw a marked forward movement in the life of the fraternity at DePauw. Such men as John S. McMillan, a financier of thi northwest; William C. H. Henning, who afterward became a grand consul of the fraternity, John H. Harrison Danville, III., editor, famous for his recent gift to DePauw, Silas A Hays, Benjamin F. Corwin and Orsa F. Overstreet, top the names on the illustrious roll of the chapter .during the last few decasles of the 19th century. Due largely to the efforts of three last named Tnen the chapter house was built in 1908. Prior to the building the house, meetings had been held .in a room on the third floor of the building now occupied by the J. C. Penney store, and subsequently in the house at the comer of Franklin street
