BY THOMAS R. HENRY. American agricu'ture is operating on a shoestring this Summer. It has no reserve capital—in the form of water in the subsoil from 10 to 30 feet below the surface—to carry it over a few weeks of rain deoression. - This is the way J. B. Kincer, chief of the division of agricultural meteorol- ogy of the Weather Bureau, character- izes the present condition of the bumper crops in most parts of the country. In a sense there has been no recovery at all from the great 1930 drought and crops are living from hand to mouth, entirely dependent on the im- mediate rainfal. July Rain Abundant. In most parts of the country, Mr. Kincer's maps show, this has been fairly abundant during July, but in most cases it has come in the nick of time to keep the fields and pastures in good shape. Last Summer they were in bet- ter shape to stand a dry period because they could draw from the devosits in the subsoil. They exhausted these de- posits and nature has done nothing to replace them. A characteristic of this Summer’s | rain, Mr. Kincer points out, has been | the "extreme “spottiness.” Last week, | for example, there was one-tenth of an |inch of rainfall at Lawrence, Kans. | while a few miles across the country, at |Kansns City, there was eight times as much, and & few miles further. east, at Brunswick, Mo., there was 30 times as | much. Baltimore has twice ‘as much |rain as Washington, and Lynchburg, | Va., about 150 miles away, nearly twice as much as Baltimore. Asheville, N. C,, had only three-tenths of an inch, while | Knoxville, Tenn., had three and a half | inches. The same picture obtains over | the whole Eastern and Central parts of | the country. Almost always rain has ,arlxl»ived just’ when crops were ready to wi | Little Snow Is Cause. Besides, Kincer points out, it has been a_very hot Summer through most of the Eastern and Central States. This means that the evaporation of surface | water has been more rapid than usual and that the luxurious vegetation has absorbed more moisture. Even in the best regulated of Summers very little| | moisture can be spared for the subsoil | Teserve, The reserve of water must be there is little evaporation and no thirsty vegetation. The reserve is replenished best by heavy snows which melt gradu- | Was 1t made of none but the very finest of pure quality ingredients. .. 2 Was it made in a bakery regularly inspected by the D. C.

Last Winter there were few such snows. The situation is illusf Kincer says, by the fact there has been much rain this Summer, wells and deep springs which held up during the 1930 drought now are going dry all over the drought area as the last traces of the subsoil re- serve are drawn upon. So a few weeks of drought Probebly would be disastrous, elflechlly at a time when the corn tas- sels are forming through much of the corn area, East Fares Well. On the whole, Mr. Kincer says, the States East of the Appalachians have fared well from the “hand-to-mouth rains, especially during July. But Florida had the dryest June the State has ever known, 30 per cent below the previous low record for June, 1898, when 2.14 inches of rain fell. It was| less than one-third of the normal. Georgia had the dryest June on record and Tennessee the second dryest. The July rains fell just in time in all these States. » ‘Whie the actual drought was broken late last Fall, Mr. Kincer points out, the rainfall for the first half of 1931 was above normal only in New England, Arizona and New Mexico and conse- quently only these States had any re- plenishment of the ground water sup- ply. In the Northwest—the only sec- tion eflected disastrously by drought thus far this Summer—the precipita- tion wes only half normal. The Mid- dle Atlantic States averaged about 90 per cent normal an dthe Ohio and Mis- sissippi Valley States about 75 per cent. The South Atlantic States had some heavy Winter rains, but the slight ac- cumulation was wiped away during the dry June, The territory from Kansas and Iowa north missed the July rains, with the result that they are in the grip of a disastrous drought. Some of the grain crops have been irreparably dam- aged. Only the Winter wheat crop is certain. Freaks Cited. There have becn some curious freaks, Kincer points out, due to the fact that there is a critical period in the life of nearly every corp when moisture is nec:ssary. Thus oats are most suscep- tible when the heads are filling out, which comes later, according to the lati- tude. The present drought struck the Kan- sas-to-Montana belt just when the Iowa oats were going through this critical period. To the south they already had passed through it and to the north they had not entered it. So only the Towa crop was badly damaged. A time- Iy rain could save the Northern fields. Pastures through much of last year's drought area, especially in the South- Central States, are getting into bad shape. Pruit, concerning which there were dire predictions because of the probable effect of last Summer's drought in preventing bud formation, apparently did not suffer as badly as was thought, and some bumper crops are predicted. = . “Prices fluctuate so much that I have o work hard all day to lose $10,” testi- fled a defendant potato dealer in a ‘Willesden, England, court.

C. Supreme Court. Norman Baker of Muscatine, Iowa, vesterday filed suit in the District Su- preme Court to compel the Federal Ra- dio Commission to revoke its racent or- der ruling off the air Station KTNT, owned by the pstitioner. He attacks the constitut'onality of the radio act of 1927. He already has,appealed to the Dis- trict Court of Appeals from the order of the commission, but in the present suit he claims that the requirement of the radio act that operators of broadcasting statlons before the passage of the act waive their claims to any particular wave lengths or to the ether Js'unconsti- tonal. He signed th: waiver, he states, | under protest, and the duress to which he was subjected thereoy amounted to signing away of his right of free speech accorded by the Constitution, he de- clares.
