Thursday, August 5,1954 THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Seven Farmers' Outlook CROP PROSPECTS CONTINUE GOOD IN NORTHERN SECTION Weather -- and markets -- h£ve again grabbed first place in the farm league. Extreme heat and drouth have burned crops in many regions, but. some areas have „ good prospects. South Dry, North Better ° In general, the southern half of Illinois is much worse hit than the northern half. In fact, most of the United States south of central Illinois has had less than normal rainfall since May 15. The northeastern states have also suffered from lack of rain. Areas of average rainfall or more this summer include northern Illinois, northern Iowa, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and the Northwest. The drouth this year is both similar to Snd different from that of 1953. In general, the same areas are affected. But this year there is less subsoil moisture, and the drouth began earlier. Also, many areas have had higher temperatures this year. Corn In extreme drouth areas corn is showing burned tassels and whitened upper leaves, something like the damage in 1936. How much might extreme widespread drouth cut the corn crop? The most severe drouths of modern times, those of 1934 and 1936, cut production by about one billion bushels. U.S. average corn production is about 3.1 billion bushels. A billionbushel cut would therefore leave about 2.1 billion bushels. A crop of 2.1 billion bushels, plus a prospective carry-over of 900 million bushels, would make a total supply of 3.0 billion bushel's of corn for next year. That would be about as much as is being used tliis year. Thus there is no extreme shortage in sight for the year ahead even if the drouth persists and spreads. Another point: At this writing the areas that ordinarily produce most of the market corn are not so badly hurt as those farthest soutjj. This apparently applies both^.to Illinois and to Iowa. A -short corn crop this year \tfould "*have less than usual priceboosting influence. Pi ice advances will-tend-'to" tW'iimftfea-uytHe'3 large stocks of old corn, largely in 'governmental control. Soybeans The soybean market is much more sensitive than the corn market to news of crop development. The reason is that there is no prospect of any substantial cariy-over of old soybeans this fall. The supply of soybeans for next year depends entirely on the crop that is now developing. ^ Range States Seveie to extreme drouth has developed over much of the western range states. Western Texas is perhaps not so badly burned as it was last year, but pastures are much poorer in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and western Kansas and Nebraska., The Northwest also has mote dry areas than it had in 1953, and there are many more severe drouth areas in the east-central and southeastern parts of the U.S. As of July 1 pastures in these areas were suffering more than crops. ^ Feeder Cattle Drouth in both the range country and the Corn Belt may be making some opportunities to buy feeder cattle at advantageous prices.

Adams, as chairman of the Young Democratic organization of Mc- Henry county and the 14th Concessional district. A meter is 3.37 inches longer than a yard. Take It Easy- Take A Cab!

SUMMER SPEECH CLINIC ENDS FOR THIRTY CHILDREN Last Friday marked the end of the summer speech clinic i"activities which have been in progress for the past six weeks in the county. The clinic was conducted under the auspices of the McHenry county chapter of the Illinois Association for the Crippled, the Easter Seal agency. Thirty children irom various re"- ceived speech therapy from the two therapists, Miss Marjorie Butterworth and Irving s. Friberg. They were given speech therapy fivp times weekly and also had the opportunity of working with volunteers who aided the therapists in p:oviding carry-over work in the form of games and allied activities. Final progress reports of each child were given to the parents the last week of the clinic session. These outlined the progress of the child and listed recommendations regarding the future speech work which might be accomplished by the parents and the "child's teacher.

Pastors Express Views On Time Of Marine Day Parade The following letter was sent to the McHenrv Chamber of Commerce by the pastors of the Cfty's four churches, St. Mary's Catholic, St. Patrick's Catholic, thV. C>mjnunity Methodist and Zion ^Evangelical Lutheran. A copy of the letter was also given to the Plaindealer so that its readers might know their feeling concerning the time of the annual Marine Day parade. . "The Chamber of Commerce .."McHenry, Illinois- - • "Dear Sir: "The Marine Day parade has again proved one of the most colorful events of this festive weekend, enjoyed by the hundreds who participated and the thousands who watched. "In view of this fact, we would ljJte to call to the attention of the community that it has been our practice . to hold this parade during the Sunday morning/ worship period. Because of -traffic tie-ups, participation in thipara.de and observance by spectators, this has resulted in a greSt handicap to the worship schedule of the churches. "We know that the business men who plan this outstanding event Will want to do all in their pow(r to cooperate with the spiritual ministry of the churches in otar community. Since we believe tiiat Sunday morning should be reserved for, worship in accordance with, the commandment to observe the Sabbath day and keep !t holy, we therefore propose that henceforth the Marine Day parade be scheduled on Saturday or^ at such time as will not interfere with Sunday morning worship.
