GREAT CORN CROP
TO
P
Biggest Money Crop Since
1929 Now Ripening In
Corn Belt More Than
Billion Bushels Over 1936
CHICAGO. Aug. 4. fV-A Com
crop valued at 1,700,000,000, the big
gest money crop farmers have had
since 1920, was ripening In the corn
belt, the August estimates of six Chi
cago grain experts Indicated today.
Private crop authorities here, most
of whom have Just returned from
personal field Inspection trips, fore
cast 1037 domestlo corn production
would total 3,771,000,000 bushels.
This would be the biggest United
States crop since the record-breaking
harvest In 1033 of 2,026.000,000 bush
els. It would be more than a billion
bushels larger than the crop of 1,
524.317,000 harvested In 1038.
The estimates of the private auth
orities ranged from 2.710,000.000
bushels to 2334.000.000, but the aver
age was 2,771.000,000. This repre
sents an Increase of 200,000,000 bush
els, compared with the latest gov
ernment figures based on condition
as of July 1.
Price Drop Offset.
Althouph corn prices tumbled with
In a month from above $1 a bushel In
Chicago to around 60 cents for the
new crop, market observers said the
price depreciation was offset by the
orop's Improvement. Based on cur
rent prices for December corn, the
crop had a market value of t,82a.
860.000, which has been unequaled
since 1029.
The average of the six estimates of
domestlo spring wheat production wus
193,000,000 bushels, which compared
with tho latest government forecast
of 21S.646.000, Indicating a crop do
terloratlon of 2S.000.000 during July
as a result of rust damage. The 1936
harvest was reduced by drought to
only 107,448,000 bushels.
Estimated production of winter
wheat also was below the latest gov
ernment figures although the aver
age or tne six forecasts Indicated a
crop of 648,000.000 bushels, the larg.
est since 1931. The total crop ot
841,000,000 bushels, at ourrent ma--ket
prices, had a value of tl,000,-
000,000,
The average of the private esti
mates on winter wheat was 6,000.000
bushels higher than the month -ago
average, but was 16,000,000 busrulf
below the latest government estimate.
Last year the crop totaled 819,000,000
bushels.
Oat Crop Larger.
The experts utlmeted oats produc
tion at 1,149.000.000 bushels, com
pared with 789 000,000 last year. Rye
production was torocast at 62,000,000
bushels, compared with 2S.6S4.0U0
last year,
The grain authorities reported this
years drought damage In western
Canada waa the worst on record. The
average of their estimates Indicated
spring wheat production In the three
prairie provinces of Canada would
total 101,000.000 bushels compared
with 212,000,000 last year. A month
ago, the average Indicated a crop
of 218.000,000 bushels. Several ex
perts pointed out, however, that be
cause of rust damage both aides of

spring wheat production were un

V. 6th Street
MEDFORD PAINTER
INVENTS GADJET
FOR SPRAY GUNS
The invention of a paint spray gun
attachment wblch permits the use
of a temporary paint container is
announced by Harold U. Mitchell,
manager of the Medford Auto Beauty
Shop at 608 South Riverside.
Prior to the perfection of Mr.
Mitchell's Invention all paint spray
guns were equipped with permanent
paint containers. Between each use
the container required a thorough
cleansing. In this process a half
pint of lacquer thinner would be
used. As lacquer thinner costs 91.1ft
a gallon, the cost of cleaning a single
spray gun for the average week was
about S3.
Realizing that It was costing him
H60 a year to wash containers on
bis spray guns, Mr. Mitchell began
searching last far. for me way to
do away with this annual expendi
ture. First be discovered that empty
motor oil cans could be obalned In
large numbers merely for the asking.
He also found that these cans could
be cleaned ot oil by the use of gaso
line for a very small expenditure.
Then Mr. Mitchell decided to devise
an apparatus for attaching the cans
to the spray gun. If he could do
this, the oil cans could be used once
and then throw naway. This pro
cess would of course save the cost
of cleaning a permanent container.
For three months last fall Mr.
Mitchell worked literally day ana
night on his invention, leaving the
shop work to his assistants. Twenty
or thirty methods of attaching the
cans were attempted. Finally a
clamp with two movable pieces was
devised. This clamp could be oper
ated with one hand. It proved to .
be entirely satisfactory and has been
In use for several months.
The inventor has applied for a
patent upon this apparatus and ex
pects It to be Issued In a few weeks.
He has received an offer from a spray
gpn manufacturing company to buy
the device outright. There Is a pos
sibility, Mr. Mitchell states, that
rather than sell the attachment out
right he may undertake production
and distribution of It himself. He
now has models at several faotorles
for manufacturing bids and believes
that the device will be sold cheaply
enough so that It will pay for Itself
In a week.
