from last year, the indicated j corn yield of 42 bushels per acre promised production of 192.864.C.90 bushels, wihich Is nine per cent higher than last year and 12 per cent above the ten year

average.

The biggest production of oat.i since 1932 was predicted, with 1,444,000 acres expected to yield 40 bushels per acre, for a total of 57,760,000 bushels. It "was pointed out that cool wet weather and a h gh percentage 6f rust resistant variety plantings were the big factors contributing to the high oats yield. Rye yield, forecast ?it 14 bushels per acre, and barley at 25 bushels per acre, were likewise both be higher man average. Although tame hay acreage was reported at 1,885,000 acres, or 92 per cent of hst yvar, production. was forecast at 2,545,000 tons, which is only one per cent less than last year and one per cent above the ten year average. IFasture condition, at 93 per cent of normal, was well above the ten ycur average of 82. Although potato production was forecast at 105 bushels per acre, the 33,000 acres available f(,i harvest represent only 59 per cent of the ten year average, so that the predicted production of 3,465,000 bushels,-while 111 per cent of last year, is only 62 per rent of average. ,ln commercial counties, the

The completeness and thoroness which the Navy and Army air forces have installed equipment causes one to wonder how an enemy can stand long in the face of such tremendous effort. We found the ground forces well equipped and the men skilfully trained to keep the planes in the air. In fact, .Mr, Johnson, related, the boys on those island outposts can practically rebuild a plane no matter how badly it comes in shot up with flak.

It Is my opinion, he stated, that when the campaigns of General MacAithur, are studied, they will be found to be masterpieces of military strategy. The defense and the maneuvering of this great general when supplies were virtually cut off loom up as nothing short of masterful to

Noble Johnson Discusses Trip

Just returned Thursday afternoon from a world-wide inspecUon trip of Naval bases wh.ch covered almost 35.000 miles, Congressman Johnson, said '‘America has achieved a miracle in armament." Stepping out of the big four motored C-54 at National Airport in Washington with the offic.al Navy photographers and camera men shooting their pictures from almost every angle, the five members of the (Naval sub-commitUe showed the strain from the 42 day 'lound the world trip.

til the Japs know they are licked. Splendid morale, he sa d. While a heroic job has been done, Mr. Johnson said. It is likewise apparent our bases in the Pacific could not receive too much attention from those plan, nmg the defense armaments. H • felt it important that every patriotic American support measures that would provide unlimited material and equipment that will make each .one of these island bases impregnable fortresses. If we are to police tb s vast area, we must not spare a single essential factor so tha' our brave men out there will b able to make the best defense We must not permit another catastrophe like Pearl Harbor, Bataan and Correigidor. Congressman Johnson, is a member of the important subcommittee of the Naval Appropriations Committee, and has worked tirelessly in the interests of economy without handicapping the war effort. Thru Mr. Johnson's vigilant attention to details, the taxpayers have been saved large sums. This business-like and thorogoing inspection Wip wdl enab’.o Mr. Johnson, and his colleagues who are responsible for appropriating the astronomical sums for the maintenance, promotion and welfare of the Navy and it's personnel, to know firsthand what is needed and to save the American people from unparalleled waste and extravagance. The American public now have representatives in Congress that know what the needs are and can make appropriations intelligently and economically.
