Mexico's Wheal Crop To Reach 1,000,000 Tons Mexico City (U.R) Ag riculture Minister Gilberto Flor es Munoz says Mexico's wheat crop- will reach- 1,000,000 tons during the 1955-56 farming cycle. He says new lands brought under cultivation by irrigation programs and development of new hybrid seeds suited to the Mexican climate also will re sult in greatly increased produc tion of corn, beans and cotton. The minister's optimistic fore cast closely followed President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines' call for a 10 per cent boost in agricultural production in his third annual state of the nation message. Ruiz Cortines noted in his mes sage that Mexico reached most of its farm production goals for the past 12 months and in some foodstuffs became an exporter for the first time. But- he told the hew congress that even great er . agricultural expansion is needed to keep up with the coun try's growing population. Exports Up Flores Munoz said the govern ment's program to step up farm production calls for sowing of 1,700,000 acres of wheat for the new cycle and production of 2, 500,000 bales of cotton as comp ared to the 2,000,000-bale har vest of the past season. He said the government would prime for the new production goals' by granting "much heav ier" agricultural credits than in the past year when crop support loans totaled $120,000,000. The National . Farm Credit Bank's program of assistance to the nation's small farmers paid off during the past season when the bank was able to recover a record $60,320,000 loaned out for materials. With' cotton and coffee pro duction up and cattle exportation to the United States renewed this year for the first time since the 1953 hoof and mouth disease ban, Mexico's agriculture and livestock exports reached a total of $456,000,000 for the past 12 months. ' Mount Shasta is California's highest and best example of a volcanic cone. Owyhee Reservoir Carryover Reduced Ontario, Ore. (U.R) Water will be turned out- of Owyhee reservoir canals 'today, but Paul House, . north board of control manager, reported that carry-over of water storage will be only about 55,000 acre feet, a new low. House pointed up the drought conditions in the area by dis closing that the huge reservoir had shrunk in the past few years from 54 miles in length to 34. He said the reservoir was still the. second largest body of water in the state, however. Average water carry-o v e r was about 320,000 feet, he said. doesn't come at the highest price on the market which is just what he gets. "Smoky" isn't really a bear as bears go. He is more of a symbol. You may recall that, scared as a cub, tail scarred and motherless, he was rescued by rangers during a fire in the Lin coln National Forest in New Mexico. Prevent Forest Fires The department of Agricult ure saw the possibilities of pro motion and got its Forest Ser vice to get hold of an artist to put "Smoky" in oils and then on black and white and then onto billboards and ads around in the papers. ."Prevent forest fires." That's what all of the words under "Smoky"; said. "Smoky" deserves the best in fine berries and the best in honey and whatever else a nice bear likes. The worst -year for forest fires was in 1943. At that time there were -210,226 -forest fires and 33,333,000 acres of fine timber went up in smoke. I guess you can give "Smoky" and his backers; the Department of Agriculture and insurance companies, credit for ' bringing that figure down. Last year, thanks to promotion, there were only 176,891 forest fires, accord ing to the U. S. Forest service. And the acreage burned over was 8,832,963. - But, the government says, that is far too high. And "Smoky" even if he drops dead, of berry fever today, will keep on working. Working through pos ters and ads to stamp out camp fires and quit throwing cigarette and cigar buts into the brush. This is a good time to bring up the subject for it's Nation al Fire Prevention Week. Fires in the woods are only part of the misery we have from flame. Worst Fire Trap . - According to Hathaway G. Kemper, president of Lumber man's Mutual Casualty com pany, "The United States has be come the world's worst fire trap." This man isn't an alarmist, but he knows that figures don't lie. At the rate we're going, he says, it looks very much- as if homes of at least 12,000,000 Am ericans will be' damaged or" de; stroyed by fire in the next 10 years. . . ' ' All of this comes at a time when we have the best fire-fighting equipment in the world. Fact remains that cigarettes can- be dropped, people smoke in bed and camp fires are left burning.
