MOTHER NATURE APPARENTLY
IN LEAGUE WITH DEMOCRATS
Bobson Points Out
That Bumper Crops
Are In Prospect.
Babson Park, Mass. July 25.—
Mother Nature surely smiles on the
Democrats by giving the U. S. good
crops for 1952. This total crop pro
duction now promises to be second
only to the record of 1948. Here
are a few highlights.
Food Grain Riches
Billion-bushel-plus wheat crops
have been almost taken for granted
in recent years. With the excep
tion of 1951, Jhey
have been the rule
since 1943. This
year’s indicarted to
tal outturn of 1,-
249,019,000 bushels
is the third largest
crop of record. De
spite its size, i t
should not cause
arry trouble. Farm
ers have more
a*(«r W. Bib*** storage space a-
vailable tihs year; and can take ad
vantage of Government loans if
necessary.
In Mississippi, 'Arkansas, Louisi
ana and Texas; as well as in Cali
fornia, rice growers are producing
an indicated record crop of well
over 45,000,000 bags of 100 pounds
each. But I guess it will not prove
budensome maketwise. Although
a relatively small bucwheat crop
is likely, I don’t forecast a short
age of pancakes on • the American
Sunday breakfast table! The small
est rye crop outlook in over 80
years, plus the low carryover, may
well mean considerable stringency.
Bumper Com Crop—If
Barring unfavorble weather from
now on, the nation’s 1952 corn out
look may reach the huge figure of
3,365,089,000 bushels — the second
largest corn crop on record. This
should be good news to livestock
producers, since it points to more
favorable feeding rations this fail
and winter. The barley crop prob
ably will be the smallest since 1936,
in contrast to an indicated oats
crop well above the ten-year aver
age. A large total hay crop, of
good quality, also is in the cards.
Bean eaters—and they are by no
means all in Boston—will draw on
a smaller total crop of dry edible
beans this year than last. The in
dicated .outturn of 15,747,000 bags
(100 pounds each) is down mate
rially "from 1951 as well as the ten-
year production. The much-loved
Irish jpflbjO, which recently has
been spotlighted because of Gov
ernment maneuvering, will b e
somewhat more plentiful this year
than last. The indicated national
potato outturn of 339,048,000 bush
els is 40 per cent larger than the
short crop of 1951, but 18 per cent
below the 1941-1950 average. It
should suffice, although the margin
may be none too wide. I expect
about an average production of
commercial truck crops, and a
slightly below-average outturn of
decidious fruits in 1952.
Cotton and Oilseed Prospects
Although it is too early to fore
cast as to the probable size of the
1952 U. S. cotton crop, it is likely
to fall short of the 1951 outturn of
15,068,000 running bales. I base
this forecast solely on the fact that
indicated acreage now in cultiva
tion is T per cent under that of a
year ago.. Weather and insect dam
age now and harvest time could
further cut yields; but otherwise
the coton crop and the financial
returns therefrom will be satisfac
tory.
Another oilseed crop also prom-

thought South Carolina Democrats
should decide as soon as possible
where they are going.
At the same time he asked state
Democrats to study the national
party’s platform, particularly the
civil rights plank and the plank on
changing the U. S. Senate rules to
knock out filibusters.
He said he thought the Demo
crats should hold full discussion on
the two matters.
The governor declined to make
■any personal comments about the

If rpillions of people everywhere

would be less friction and less dis
