The department's Economic Research Service in a prelim inary report said the weather picture as a whole is brighter for Red China than in 1959- 60-61. There is an absence of widespread natural disaster. The damage from late frost, drought, floods, and typhoon winds apparently has been of local nature, ERS said. But the ERS summary for the Soviet Union and other Eastern European communist countries shows that these slates have suffered another disappointing crop year. Gains ERS said limited reports from urban areas of Red China indicate that summer vegetable supplies increased with a rise in the tillage of private plots and expansion of private grading. The inter mediate rice crop and the pro duction of summer - grown grains are believed to be sub stantially higher than last year but only marginal gains were made in early grains production. Fall - harvested crops are reported by the communists to be doing better than last year. ERS said tentative estimates show that gross grain produc tion for 1962 in Red China likely will exceed 1961 by 7-12 per cent. Soybean pro duction is expected to decline slightly despite increase in yields. The soybean acreage is smaller. Cotton production is expected to rise 5-10 per cent from last year but to re main 15-20 per cent below the high output of 1958. Credit The increased grain produc tion won't make Red China self-sufficient m these com modities, ERS said. The Chi nese are seeking more liberal credit terms for grain pur chases from Canada and Australia. ERS said stagnation in So-' viet agricultural production has continued for the fourth consecutive year. It said this mediocre showing is indicated despite extensive re-structuring of the crop pattern and an increase of 27 million acres in the planted area, which reached more than 530 mil lion acres this year. The planted acreage in the United States this year is barely above 300 million acres. Besides bad weather, ERS blamed rigid state controls, shortages of capital, and in sufficient producer incentive as causes for poor agricul tural production in the Soviet Union and other communist countries. Accidents A department study shows that farm-accident fatalities are not declining in propor tion to the decline in farm population. The study listed these rea sons for the continuing high death rate in farm accidents: The increasing average age of people on farms; farms are isolated, with little supervis ion of work and not much opportunity for an injured person to obtain first aid promptly; and traffic on rural highways is less controlled than on urban streets. The annual mortality from farm accidents is estimated at from 60 to 70 per 100,000 of farm population. Researchers found that ac cidents resulting in non-fatal injuries occur to about a third of the farm population annu- f Glassfyre Screens AS IUW AS NOW In Copper and Stainless Steel and other beautiful finishei.

About 19 per cent of farm people are injured ser iously enough in these acci dents to lose time from their work, and about 3 per cent are permanently disabled each year. Accidents occurring on farmland often are associated with farm machinery. Falls are the most common kind of accident in farm homes. Wheat and Flour U.S. wheat and flour ex ports during the first quarter of fiscal 1963 totaled 148 mil lion bushels, about 10 per cent below July-September, 1961. Wheat exports at 124 million bushels were 18 million bush els smaller, while flour ex ports at 24 million bushels were slightly above last sea son. U.S. feed grain exports in the first quarter of fiscal 1963 were up 52 per cent from the comparable period a year earlier. Shipments totaled 3.5 million metric tons compared with 2.3 million in the same months last year. z If 3 AS IUW As J Of- fill Wi2'-""" -fi- uTP fit- 'A ( 4 11, iM'iln.
