Macmillan Party
Suffers Defeats
London-IUPD-Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan's Conserva
tives today were handed two
defeata by the opposition La
bor parly in returns from
three of five parliamentary
by-elections held Thursday.
In the third election, the
Conservatives won, but with
a sharply reduced majority.
Results of the other two con
tests were expected later in
the day. The Conservatives
held all five seats previously
The defeats appeared to be
a rebuff to Macmillan's policy
of pushing for British mem
bership in the Common Mar
ket as well as to his new
cabinet lineup, which he in
stalled last summer after a
series of other by-election defeats.

Washington OTP - Better
weather conditions in Com
munist China have improved
the 1962 crop outlook some
what in comparison with the
past three disastrous years.
according to the Agriculture
Department.
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-

ally. 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.
