Page Four LA CRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. LA GRANDE. ORE. Thursday, August 16, 1934 DROUTH IS WORLD WIDE THIS YEAR SURVEY REVEALS WASHINGTON (Special) Grow- Ing crops in practically all countries of tho Northern Hemisphere have been damaged by the prolonged drouth, reports the foreign agrlcul tural service of the bureau of agrt cultural economics, In a summary of the world drouth situation. Even In the Southern Hemisphere, particu larly In Argentina and Australia, re cent reports Indicate that lack of moisture during recent months htu so dried out the soil that seeding operations, which are now being completed, have been made extremely difficult in many districts. ReporU of drouth in Russia have . been numerous this year, and there are indications of a considerable re duction In yields In the important wheat-growing areas of Southern Russia, particularly for early - sown cropa, according to the bureau's re ports. As Indicative of smaller grain crops In Russia this year it is to be noted that tho government recently announced substantial reductions In tho quantities of grain which state farms will have to deliver to the government. These reductions were announced for all of the important wheat-producing regions except the middle Volga, Western Siberia, Kazak stan and Central Asia. The drouth has also damaged bread and feed grain crops In the countries df the Danube Basin. Hungary and Rumania report unusuolly low crops for both wheat and rye this ycor. In Yugoslavia and Bulgaria the rye crops will be only slightly below those for 1933 but the wheat crop will be much lower. The Belgrade office of the bureau states that practically no rye will be exported this season from Bulgaria, Rumania and Yugoslavia and very little, If any, from Hungory because of the reduced rye and wheat yields, resulting largely from drouth con ditions. The carryover of wheat in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia, however. Is expected to enable those countries to export small quantities of wheat during the 1 934 -35 season. The 1034 wheat crop In Rumania has been greatly reduced by tho drouth. That country has practically no wheat carryover and exporu were recently prohibited. Tho oats and barley crops In the Danublan Basin will be much lower than In 1033 because of drouth con ditions but a good crop Is oxjwcted because of frequent showers at timely Intervals since the beginning of June. Drouth damage has been particu larly severe in the countries, of Cen tral Europe whore both bread and feed grulns hove suffered greatly. Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria were favored with light to j heavy rains recently but they came j too late to offset the damage already j done by the prolonged drouth, ac- j cording to reports received In the bureau. The 1034 ryo crops, especially In, Germany and Poland, have been greatly reduced by the drouth. There Is no likelihood, however, that the reduced crops this year will result In a shortage of bread In Central Europe sinco the principal rye-producing countries have considerable stocks of wheat and rye on hand from the large 1033 crop. The short ryo crop, however, Is expected to have a serious effect on the livestock Industry In Central Europe where lano. quanti ties are used annually for feed. Dur ing periods of low wheat and ryo crops, the tendency is to feed less rye to livestock In order to maintain adequate supplies for human con sumption. Peed crops In Germany and Czech oslovakia, have suffered heavily from drouth, and a feed shortage Is now threatened In both of these countries. Germany faces an especially serious situation because of the drouth dam age to her feed grains, hay and potato crops. The shortago In these- crops, together with a short ryo crop, Is likely to bring about a moterlal re duction In livestock numbers In Ger many. The prolonged drouth Is olso be coming a factor of serious concern In Canada this year. While a consider ably larger wheat crop was exacted In Canada this year, the continuation of the drouth together with damage from front in some northern districts Thousands Hear Roosevelt Pledge Power Support if' 1 4 4 1 1 k xi$i& if General view at the Grand Coulee dam site In Washington where President Roosevelt continued inspec tion o Pacific northwest federal power projects. Thousands listened as the President pledged further devclopuiei? ol the great project beyond the 700,000 horsepower output now planned for the dam. and ravages of grasshoppers In some southern regions has steadily reduced originally anticipated yields. Cereal crops In the Prulrlo provinces have reached the advanced stage when heavy rains are needed. Most of the wheat crop is In the head und some Is filling. The earliest fields are al ready turning color. Late sown cereals have- thick stands In many localities" but need an abundance of moisture maintain their condition. Pas tures In most of the Prairie Provinces are dry and unless abundant rain falls soon a serious shortage of wlntf-r feed will develop. The drouth has also affected the Chincso rlco crop. The Intent des patches from tho bureau's Shanghai office- report a reduction of at least 20 per cent In the Chinese rice crop this year because of the drouth. The drouth damage has been particularly severe In the large area of East 0ft- irni inina in the Provinces border ing the Yangtze Valley. Drouth dam age, however, is also reported from several areas In North and South China, particularly in tho northern Provinces of alien! and Shansi awl on the Island of Hainan off the coast of South China. Plans for large scale drouth relief are now untie way in China. Tho atmospheric conditions tltht brought on the devastating drouth In tho United Slates this year weKe present to a striking degree on the European continent, according to meteorologists of tho U. S. weather bureau. Over both continents hlirh- prcssuro areas prevailed over the western sections and low-pressure areas over the eastern sections. With no Interaction between air inassa.if different temperatures, tho meteoro- logUU explain, no ureciBltntion lu piiujc, iinn mm year Uiero wero practically no eastward movements of air masses on either sides of the Atlantic. ( Drouth first hit tho 'British Isleff as early as February, according to the Meteorological Magazine of the Hrltlsh Air Ministry, published in London. No nun or snow fell fur nearly three weeks. The same condition was pres ent In ports of Switzerland, and the sun inched much of the snow be low 3.000 feet in the Alps. Tho April rainfall was below normal In parts of Sweden and In a large part of central Europe. Mlddle-of-the-month temperatures were abnor mally high In many places. This abnormally worm weather caused more melting of the snow in the Alps, bringing many European rivers far above their normal levels for that time of the year. Through May; the irainfall ' con tinued deficient In Central Europe. The British Isles were very dry. with absolute drouth conditions the lat ter half of Moy In the east und south east and In the Midlands. Southern Russia also suffered from drouth In May. Southern Sweden and Northern Norway, on tho other hand, had rain falls in excess of normal and Hungary had plentiful rains about the middle of tho month. June was an extremely dry period through practically the entire length and breadth of Europe, according to tho charts used by weather bureau meteorologists in making their a'filly forecasts. These charts show high- prcsmiro areas persisting over the British Isles and Western Europe with low-pressure areas over eastern Eu- tropo. throughout almost the entire month. Not until the first of July did these conditions change enough to bring rain. Abundant rains have fallen over central Europe from the Balkan States up through, Poland. In fact, precipitation has been so great over Poland as to bring tho rivers up to the flood stage. These drouth- relieving rains tiid not reach the British Isles until about the middle of the month.

Laboratory tests show that Kellogg's Ai.i.-liKAN pro vides "bulk" and vitamin H to aid regularity. Ai.i.-1!han is also a good source of blood-building iron. The "bulk" in Au.-1!ran is much like that in leafy vegetables. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass. Gently, it clears the intestines of wastes. How much better than tak ing patent medicines.
