Wallace Sees Corn Shortage LOOKS TO ARGENTIN A FOR S| I* PLY IF R AIN DOES NOT ARRIVE IN WEEK WASHINGTON, July 30. A possibility that the nation may have its smallest corn crop since 1881 was raised today by Secretary Wallace as the drought pushed the agriculture department’s price index on farm nroducts to the highest level since September, 1930. Wallace, commenting on crop conditions at his first press conference since returning from a month’s tour of the drought and other midwest areas, said the corn outlook was by no means definite yet. But he and others in the agriculture department mentioned the possibility of sizeable corn imports from Argentina and elsewhere. Drought reports gave rise to much liscussion of prices during the day. The bureau of agricultural economics reported the sharpest rise for a single month since August. 1934, in the prices received by farmers, placing the level 15 per cent above the prewar average. An increase in the price of dairy products during the rest of the year, partially as a result of the drought, was forecast in the department’s midsummer dairying report. Secretary Wallace at his press conerence insisted, however, that the inmediate effect of the dry spell on food prices was “not as great as the icwspapers are leading the people to
‘hink.”
He said the effect of meat prices mould not he felt for six months or not e, and that there was no reason 'or a rise in bread costs. The secctaiy conceded there had been some Tcrease, though not much, in the m-ice of dairy products and veget-
ables.
On another front, the v.orks progcss administration announced 32,010 Irought-strickcn farmers in six talcs had obtained WPA jobs and lisclosed the allocation of $1,000,000 to build small water conservation lams in 32 North Dakota counties. Discussing the corn crop. Wallace
said;
“The dramatic thing now. which is ioth uncertain and significant, is vhethor the first part of August will bring sufficient rain over thi main ?orn belt to make the crop equal to nr larger than that of 19.14. or hold iff so long that the harvest may be
css.”
Corn from Argentina would consti‘ute the most important import quesion if the drought persisted. Wallace ieclared, adding that it might be vise to build up reserves from Argentina to insure feed for sufficient
iog numbers.
Col. Knox himself will carry the brunt of the stump speaking which will take him to every section of the country. The stage is set for the colorful proceedings tonight, at which party notables from every state and the territories will join with Chicago in acclaiming Governor Landon’s running mate. A visible audience of more than 50,000. it was estimated hy Chauncey McCormick, chairman of the citizens’ committee, will participate in the demonstration, with about 25.000 jamming the stadium and the other throngs occupying the temporary platforms and the open spaces adjacent to the hall. Millions will listen to the address over the radio. Ample provision has been made to carry the speaking program to those on the outside. The en’ertainment program, which starts at 7:30 p. m. and continues until 9 o’clock, also will be carried to the folks on the outside The speaking will stait about 9 o’clock, or a little before, in order to put Col. Knox on the air at 9:30. Edward A. Hays, Illinois manager of the Knox preoonveuUon campaign, will introduce John Hamilton, national chairman of the Republican organization, who will present Senator Frederick Steiwer, chairman of the national notification committee, who. in turn, will introduce Colonel
