The agriculture department last week forecast a 1947 corn crop of 2.612,809,000 bushels as heavy rains and floods cut the crop nearly 300,- 000,000 bushels below the government's goal. , The forecasted crop would be about equal to the 1936-45 10-year average. It would necessitate some reduction ; in livestock feeding and reduce supplies of meat next year and offer little hope of lower meat prices if consumer demand remains high, i The year's prospective production ' is about 675,000,000 bushels below j last year's record crop. The wheat crop, on the other hand, : improved about 25,000,000 bushels during June to boost the indicated 1 crop to 1,435,000,000 bushels--by fat i the largest on record. j The wheat estimate compares with j 1,155,715,000 harvested last year, I which was the previous top crop and i with the 10-year average of 890,308,- 1000. This year's crop was forecast j at 1,409,893,000 a month ago. The winter wheat crop was es- > timated at 1,092,122,000 bushels, compared with 1,093,071,000 forecast a month ago, and 653,893,000 for the 10-year average. All spring wheat was. forecast at 343,429,000 bushels, compared with 316,822,000 last year and 236,413,000 for the 10-year average.

Soapiess Detergents Soapless detergents wash some fabrics beautifully, but flunk on others, recent experiments disclose. A laundry soap of good quality and a non-soap detergent serve equally well in washing silk and all-wool fabrics. However, soap was found to be best for cotton, rayon, linen and mixed cotton and wool fabrics. When washed with a "soapless' soap or detergent, a colored sampleKJj of cotton material did not fade as B52 much as a soap-washed sample, but the print looked soiled and grimy. The same results were obtained with rayon and linens. Although woolens launder beautifully in degergents. babies woolen garments with food stains should be washed with soap. Non-soap compounds do not remove food stains as well as regular soap. ,946 rise r t»cal »wn tion for for Ity ; is is M7 Md It frrtin* opt with sum: nieothw _, -- jr. 4 ess., qpft 1„ _ of wmtmn give fair <o»trel. iiisiii/ F* young • ^Iaho 1 MNGWOOD (By Mrs. Geeatw Tl» Hfne Circle met at the of Mrs. C.L.
