DROUTH EFFECTS
ARE REVIEWED BY
COLLEGE SERVICE
CORVALLIS, Ore. (Speclnl) Rnln
fall bo far in 1034 Is the lowest ever
recorded In some of the central find
north central states and drouth has
become serious for grain cro, hay,
pastures, and dairy production, ac
cording to a review of the agricul
tural situation Just released by the
Oregon State college extension ser
vice. Precipitation from January 1 to
May 1 was the lowest ever recorded,
by tho weather bureau In the Da kotos.
Minnesota, and Illinois; second lowest
ever recorded for Indiana, Missouri
and Ohio; third lowest for Kansas;
fourth lowest for Iowa nnd Nebraska,
and fifth lowest for Montnna, enya
the report.
Except In the northwest, hay crops
have had a poor start and the condi
tion on May 1 for the country as a
whole was substantially lower than
on the same date in any of the past
60 years, according to thc circular.
Carryover of hay In Oregon Is above
average, but In the ditiry sections of
the north central states holdover
storks ate less than half of a year
ago. The situation in several of
these north central states Is acute.
Piistures are the poorest In 50 years
and with praetlealy no hay in some
sections, cows are being maintained
on straw and such feeds as are sup
plied by relief agencies.
This situation, has already affected
the production of milk adversely, says
the circular, bo that production per
cow averaged nearly two pounds per
day less tnan on the corresponding
date of the last B years. t
In commenting on the fruit situa
tion, the circular says prospects are
for fair production of fruits In the
northwest, which should find a bet
ter outlet owing to the reduction In
the eastern crop and anticipated Im
provement In purchasing power ol the
public.
The pear crop of Oregon may be
somewhat less than last year but the
apple crop In excess of the light out
put of 1033. The Pacific coast dried
prune crop Is expected to be less than
normal. Carryover of 1933 crop
prunes is also less than normal.
