Bumper Crops
Predicted For
U. S. This Year
——
WASHINGTON,—(/P)—This coun
try is well on its way toward
its sixth consecutive bumper har
vest.
In fact, the Agriculture De
partment, in its latest monthly
crop report said the current out
look for total farm production has
seldom been surpassed.
The report says that conditions
prevailing July 1, indicated a re
cord corn crop, near-record crops
of wheat, oats, potatoes and rice,
and large crops of vegetables and
most fruits.
The outlook on grains was par
ticularly gratifying to food offi
cials, because supplies have been
largely depleted in meeting for
eign relief demands and in feed
ing a near-record livestock popu
lation.
If the grain crops turn out as
now indicated, the nation will
be in a position to carry out its
commitments to send 250,000,000
bushels of wheat to shortage areas
during the next 12 months and
still maintain production of live
stock products—meats, milk, eggs
and poultry—at levels near those
of the past year.

The trick is to keep the liquid
