TOUT } ' . hy ‘GIVEUS RAINE IS CRY OVER MIDDLE WEST With Crops Beyond Recovery In| Many Sections, Farmers Try to Save Cattle Kansas City, Aug. 5—()—An enor- mous toll has been taken by heat and drought in central and southwestern States, one crop authority in Missouri estimating today that the loss in crops and live stock in that state alone would amount to more than $100,000,000. Officials of other states would not hazard a guess as to the total dam- age, but virtually all reports assem- bled in a partial survey by the As- sociated Press told of withered fields, — pastures and low water sup- plies. In Missouri the prolonged absence of rain already has caused a decrease ‘of from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels in the estimated yield of corn. Agri- cultural officials at the state capital said, however, that farmers suffered the greatest setback in pasture-crops which were in the worst condition in 30 years. The five weeks’ drouth in Iowa has caused untold damage and the fed- eral crop reporter at Des Moines es- timated the corn yield has been cut five bushels to the acre or more. Overnight rains in this state gave some hope that the dry spell would be broken. In Kansas the state board of agri- culture reported most of the early corn in the southern and eastern por- tions of the state was apparently be- yond recovery, but there was a chance for a partial crop in late fields in the event of rainfall. Pastures were burned and grain sorghum. crops were suffering. Dried up streams and wells in Tili- nois are forcing many farmers to haul water long distances to save their livestock. The situation was described by Edwin Bay, Sarigamon county farm bureau adviser, as the most ser- ious ever experienced, unless relief came within a few days, he said, “conditions will be fatal to countless animals.” A dairy executive at St. Louis said if the drouth continues a week or ten days the city will face a milk short- age. “In any case,” he added, “there will ‘be a shortage by September unless we get three or four inches of rain with- in the next week or ten days, which is unlikely for August.” General rain must be had in Okla- hhoma within ten days to assure the cotton crop, Harry B. Cordell, presi- dent of the state board of agriculture said. Oklahoma corn is bad in spots, while the feed crop was report- ed in fair condition, but badly in need of rain. Cordell said the drouth had kept cotton virtually free of boll wevil. A cotton crop in Texas one million bales under normal was estimated by George B. Terrell, state commissioner of agriculture. RADIO AUDITION WILL BE HELD IN BISMARCK |: Only Certain Songs May Be Used in Local Contest, Mrs. Barnes, Chairman, Says Bismarck will have its fourth an- nual radio audition during the second «week in September, according to a statement made today by Mrs. Frank Barnes, 616 Ninth street, who is in charge of the local contest. Similar contests will be held in va- tious sections of the state, and the winners in the local contests will compete in a state audition, with the state winner competing in the district audition in Chicago. Mrs. J. P. French, Bismarck, is chairman of the state committee, who are arranging for the contests. “Each singer must enter through the organized local committee,” Mrs. Barnes pointed out. “Those planning to participate are asked to keep in mind that certain songs are not per- mitted to be used for Lee urposes without speci atrange- cnet being made by the user with the owner or controller of the copy- right. “Each broadcasting station has &| mistake: copy of the restricted list,” said Mrs. Barnes, “and it will save entrants time and embarrassment ascertain before preparing for the au- dition, whether or not the songs they wish to sing are on this list.” Entries for the contest are now being received, and it is urged that those intending to take part-file their names and qualifications with/Mrs. Barnes as soon as possible. Entrants must be between the ages of 18 and 25 years.

ELKS RITES GIVEN ENORMOUS TONNAGE OF WHEAT T0 BE FED Grain Corporation Officials Say Nearly 100,000,000 Bush- els Will Go to Animals Chicago, Aug. 5.—(#)—Heavy feed- ing of wheat in all parts of the corn | belt was reported today to the Farm: ers National Grain corporation by di. rectors and members throughout the | area in close touch with the crop con- | dition. The corporation issued a statement saying it had been estimated that the total of wheat fed to livestock would Teach from 75 to 100 million bushels if prevailing relationship between corn and wheat prices continue. The statement said the Kansas state agricultural college had esti- mated that in the hard winter wheat | belt alone from 25 to 30 million bush- cls of wheat would be fed. Throughout the entire spring wheat | area, the statement went on, more | wheat and rye than ever before will be assigned to live stock troughs. Stockmen in the northwest are re- ported to have contracted for grain hay whije other grain was cut for feed reserves. _ In western Kansas feeding of wheat. was reported to be general. In Okla- | homa “everybody who has anything | to feed wheat to is feeding it.” Corn in that area was reported burned so a. as to be worthless even for fod- ler. Reports to the corporation from Indiana and Illinois said numerous farmers were withholding wheat from the market, with the probability that much of it would be fed depending on the extent of damage to the corn crop in the sister states. In Indiana it as said a particularly large per- centage would be fed, one estimate being that as much as 40 per cent of Indiana wheat would go to livestock. Numerous sections of Missouri and Nebraska reported similar circum- | stances, while in northern Colorado | cemetery. the statement said wheat was left | With the arrival of the two sisters standing in the fields. {here it was learned that Scholl also \leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob OF BEAUTY CROWN, town, Pa., and Miss Anna Scholl, Mt.

Says Wheat’s Good Feed for /.aimals Fargo, N. D., Aug. 5.—()—Oificials of the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege believe great quantities of lower grade wheat will be used to feed live- stock if this kind of wheat continues to sell on a lower basis than corn as it has been doing. “Wheat has a very considerable value as livestock feed,” said Dr. J. H. Shepperd, president of the college. | “This is especially true of the lower | grades, which are higher in protein than the starchier high grade wheats. | Low grade wheat is good feed for growing young stock which needs protein to promote vigorous growth.” Charges Students Voted in Primaries Washington, Aug. 5.—(?)—Charges that students at the Westchester State Teachers college voted in the May Republican senatorial primary in Pennsylvania in violation of state laws were made before the senate campaign funds committee today by F, S.
