Assured of Adequate Food and Feed Supplies ^ By AL JEDLICKA Timely rainfalls during August- over a wide belt extend ing from the great plains to the Appalachian mountains spurred thirsty crops and led to the prediction of a 6 billion bushel grain harvest by the U. S. department of agricul ture in its monthly estimate for September. The production of this record harvest stands as testi mony to the efforts of the American farmer, who not only worked the fields despite wartime handicaps in equipment and labor, but also was compelled to plant late in many instances due to unfavorable weather conditions. As a result of the American farm-<§ 1 er’s production job, the country is not only assured of adequate cereal foodstuffs, but liberal quan Remember — You Always Save At...

C. tities of feed are in prospect after the tight situation recently prevail ing. Record wheat and sorghum and near record corn production, a good oats crop, and favorable returns of barley and soybeans contributed to the USDA’s optimistic forecast, which was tempered only by the warning that an early frost might cut deeply into corn prospects. Despite an estimated dip in spring wheat production, the over all wheat crop was set at 1,115,402.- 000 bushels, the second billion bushel harvest on record and the greatest. Even though spring wheat pros pects declined about 17,000,000 bushels from August estimates, due to early maturity and soggy har vest weather in the Dakotas, Mon tana and Wyoming, the production of spring wheat other than durum was figured at 293,775,000 bushels, largest since the compiling of re ports in 1909. At 35.503,000 bushels, durum production fell slightly be low 1943 harvests. V/ith favorable weather prevail ing in August, 172,000,000 bushels v/ere added to the prospective corn crop cf 3.100.003.000 bushels, sec ond m •' time harvest of 1942. and 2y,0oj >w u0 bushels above 1943. Although yields per acre set at 31.8 bushels were slightly lower than in 1943, acreage planted this year v.tfis the largest since 1933. Because of good rainfall, serious deterioration of the crop from drought conditions during July was checked in the expansive area stretching southwestward from por tions of the Ohio river valley states through Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, parts of Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, . Mississippi, Louisiana and into east Texas. Despite the fact that August was particularly favorable to the growth of corn planted late because of wet ness and floods, the crop will need at least a normal frost-free season to fully mature, the USDA said. Contributing to the bumper com prospects was an estimated in crease of 125,000,000 bushels in the corn belt harvest, particularly in the states of Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Kansas, offsetting decreases in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Due to a combination of larger acreages and increased yields, the USDA looked forward to a sorghum production of 149.962.000 bushels, greatest on record and 45 per cent more than the 1943 harvest. The three states of Texas, Okla- koboa and Kansas raise about C8i TPIEDIClffl per cent df sorghums, with Texas* ; production tof 85,000,000 bushels - this year contributing 56 percent > of the crop. Kansas prospects * were set at 32,000,000 bushels. With yield of early sown oats gen- * erally above average, oats produc tion was estimated at 1,190.540,000 » bushels, 4 per cent over the 1043 crop. In certain sections, such as . across the corn belt from Nebras ka and Kansas to Ohio, late sown oats did not fare as well Except ' for the northwest, the USDA re ported, weather has been especially , favorable for harvesting. At an estimated 30 bushels per • acre, yields were above last year’s 29.8 bushels and the 10-year aver age of 28.6 bushels. At 42.5 bush els per acre, Wisconsin’s yield was tops. With North Dakota, with 20 per cent of the total acreage, enjoying good yields, the barley crop was estimated at 290,036,000 bushels, 10 per cent less than 1943 but 13 per cent greater than the 1933-’42 aver age, USDA said. Chief cause for the smaller bar ley crop this year was a 14 per cent reduction in acreage, mostly in the north-central region. Produc tion prospects for the later harvest ing states declined only slightly dur ing August. With estimated yields much above par in the south central and western regions, the average was expected to approximate 22.9 bush els, compared with 21.9 bushels last year and the 10-year mark of 21.7 bushels. * Coupling an estimated lower than average yield of 16.8 bushels per acre with a probable increased cut ting of late planted standings for hay, the USDA predicted a soybean harvest of 179,024,000 bushels, sub- . stantially below the 1943 crop of 195,762,000 bushels and the 1942 production of 187,155,000 bushels. Of the 10 major soybean produc ing states, improved conditions were reported only in Minnesota, Iowa, Mississippi and Arkansas, while the crop in Illinois showed, marked variability, with best pros pects in the heavy bean producing areas. Because of late plantings, early frosts would damage some acreage, USDA said. , , r „ College, Spratanburg.

A flat foot can also cause a strain on the lower back. As the body goes forward owing to the giving away of the arch of the foot the muscles in the small of the back are put on a stretch or strain as they try to hold the body in the erect position. Remember most pain in lower back is due to infection—teeth, tonsils, etc.—and many other cases;-_are due to injury—falls, lifting; but remember also that a flat 'foot can also cause back pain.
