Fanners' OutfoA Most Areas Need Much More Rain - ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION Dairying is the number one agricultural industry of the 17 counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This area lies to the far north and has a short growing season. Grass and dairying go hand in hand there. There are 70,000 dairy cattle in the area. Of this number approximately 40,000 are cows in production and last year a total of 20,000 head of these cows were a r t i f i c i a l l y i n s e m i n a t e d . T h i s represents a big step forward in the progressive agriculture of tha|t area. Old Man Winter has beeli making big headlines with his "Cold Waves and Blizzards.'* Spring soon will appear with "Thundershowers and Tornadoes." But Old Man Drouth still has a dangerous grip on many millions of acres of America's best farmland and may take over top headlines again next summer. Although the nation's food; supply is not in immediate danger, many farmers and ranchers could be in serious trouble in a few months. Rainfall has - been below normal throughout most of the United States since last April 1. Vital soil moisture is deficient in all but a few areas of the country. Northeast Well soaked. Only a few areas are well stocked with soil moisture. The most important of these rain-favored regions include the northern third of Illinois. This region of abundant moisture runs northward through Wisconsin, eastward across Michigan, northern Indiana and Ohio and into the northeast. Most of central and southern Illinois is still short of -water. The same goes for southern Indiana and Ohio and for all of the southern states except the Virginias. Recent rains provided temporary relief ibut did not make up the long-accumulating water shortage. Virtually all of the United States west of the Mississippi River has had less-than-average rainfall since April 1, and especially since last Sept. 1. State reports. Driest spot hereabout has been a triangular area reaching across the southern halves of Illinois and Indiana.

Iowa had more than average rainfall last summer, but has been on the tdry side since thfen. Eastern Minnesota also had more moisture than usual last sumriier, tout the whole state has had less than the average amount since Sept. 1. Perhaps the driest area in the country is the old Dust Bowl of the 1930's. It covers most of Oklahoma, south-central Kansas, and much of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Other especially dry areas of the west include Wyoming, southern Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Favored western areas, A few areas of the west have "received more-than-average rainfall during the past five to 10 months. Most of North Dakota was well soaked throughout 1954, as was the Canadian boundary of Montana. More-than-average rainfall has fallen during" the past five months in most of Utah and adjoining parts of Nevada and Arizona. Judging from rainfall maps, most coastal areas of central and northern^ California must have had fewer than usual hours of sunshine from September through January. Crop conditions. While weather maps show that most of Nebraska has had a little less-thannormail rainfall since last April 1, that state seems to have a good prospect for wheat and pastures. But much of the wheat in the Kansas-Coloraxio-Oklahoma- Texas area got a very poor start last fall. And the outlook for water for pastures and livestock continues serious in most of the middle and lower portions of the western Great Plains.
