U. S. 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

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 „

A flat foot can cause strain on
inner side of knee because it al
lows the knee to swing inward
instead of supporting the weight
properly.
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.
