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

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

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.

Headaches, loss of appetite nml
energy, sallow complexions, ami
sleeplessness are often warning
signs of common constipation. Un
less cheeked, constipation may im
pair health.
Today, you can usually get rid
of common constipation by eating
a delicious cereal. 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.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
overcome most types of constipa
tion. Chronic cases, with every
meal. If seriously ill, see your doc
tor. All-Bran is not a "cure-all."
Enjoy Ai.l-Bran as a cereal, or
use In cooking. Appetir.ing recipes j
on the red-and-green package. At '
nil frrocers. Made by Kellogg in j
Battb Creek.
