Sonic AExtent And Of 772s I934 Drought

A review. o! the drought condi- tiohs of 1084. issued under date of August 15, 1084. by ‘the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. aiiords an appreciable picture oi the situation in various

particularly in the United States, arising tbs unusual scarcity or rainfall which has char- acterised the summer oi this year.

The drought has been widespread throughout the northern hem];- phere. The aiiacted areas fall with- '1n a belt crossing Europe, Asia and North America which is about as wide as the distance from Northern Mexico to Central Manitoba. Dam- llt W N000 has been particularly heavy in the United States, Canada

_ and in Csnh-al and Eastern Europe.

In the southern hemisphere, parts of Australia and Argentina have been afiectcd but to a less extent,

In the United States the main drought damage is in the shortage 0! 3995. 101180 and pasture, neces- altatins-hasvy reduction in live stock numbers and reduced " for the remaining animals. Crop prospects declined nearly 11 per will 61114118 Jilly because oi unfav- ourable growing conditions prac- tically everywhere except along the Atlantic Coast, in the Eastern cot- ton belt and in the Pacific North- west. The most serious loss was a decline of about 24 per cent, or 800,000,000 bushels, in corn pros- pects during this period and even the production oi corn fodder was seriously reduced. The grain sorg- hum productl will be less than so percent. of average. The continued drought and excessive temperature prevailing over a wide area largely destroyed the emergency forage crops planted. burned pastures. pre- vented sny‘ second growth on hay meadows and stubble fields in many states and further reduced supplies of vqter for live stock. ‘The worst conditions embrace much of Mis- souri, Arkansas, nearly all of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma, much of Texas and the plains sections of New Mexico. Colorado and Wymcning. ‘Ihere was a further deterioration of, ran conditions during July in mos of the Western States for which range conditions figures are obtained.

Judzlng from conditions as at August, 15th, there will be available for live stock in the United States this year only about 88 per cent.,oi the usual amount oi grain includ- ing corn, oats, barley and grain sorghums. and only about 88 per sent, of the usual quantity oi hay. Because of the short pastures a considerable amount oi the 1084 production oi hay had already been consumed by Auslrst 15th. Prob- ably not more than half the usual amount oi straw has been stacked. but somewhat more than the usual quantity may be fed. F0! thCSQ reasons a rather drastic adjust- ment in the number of live stock will have to be made before fail and winter ieedin! b98105.

Several parts of the southern hemisphere have reported drought conditions in recent months affecting wheat in areas of Argentina and Aus . The acreage reduction in Argentina due to drought may reach 380.000 aqra or about B per cent, while in Australia the total wheat acreage reduction o1 2,000,000 acres or more (aroimd 10 to II per cent) is in prospect. 'I'he acre- age reduction in Australia is not altogether due to drought, but in part to a shift to sheep and wwl-

Effect of Drought in Canada

The following references to Can- adian crop production are from Canadian oflicial sources and indi- cate tlie eiiect oi the drought a8 experienced in Canada. ,

The Dominion Bureau oi Statis- tics. in a bulletin issued September 11, estimates the total yield in bushels as follows: Spring Wheat. moasxooo buslisls: Fall Wheat, 7,022,000; Oats, 844,746,000; Barley, easooooo; aye. 8.528.000; flawed. 1,088,000. Yields per acre of all grains are below average but are glightly higher than ' the revised estimates for last year.

The hay andclover crop is esti- mated at 9,884,000 tons, the lowest on record as compared with 11.488.- 000 tons in 1033 and an average yearly producticm of more than l6.- 000,000 for the four years 1028-1980. The fear was therefore well found- ed that Canada might be fiwed with s hay shortage, and the Order- in-Coilncil of August 34th W“ 5°‘ cordingly passed requiring a license roi- all exports or hay and straw. A subsequent survey oi hay supplies indicated some surplus in the Otta- wa and St. Lawrence Valleys and to a less extent in a few other areas of Canada. but a shortage in other areas which in many instances ls acute.

The .Order-in-Co\mcii has had the effect of directing attention to the unusual shortage of supply. m6‘ the requiring of a license ior ex- port has prompted those in needy areas to anticipate their season's requirements. with the result that there is now a substantial move- ment of hay in Canada from the surplus areas to the areas oi short- BBO.

that have a lot to do with causinl ‘axes to so brgwn, We are inclined to that belief ourselves from our observations extending over a per- goq g1 years. of course ii the foxes are kept in sheds or under cover this condition is not nearlyso liable to arise. There m. lwwaver. many breeders who contend that they tmnoi; get as heavy a coat of fur on their foxes in.sheds or cool)! l»! they getinthe open w" and that’ therefore risk colour to get quantity o! iur. We have found that foxes that stick in holes in the 81011114 01' are ghy sud stay in the house dur- ing the ‘day are u. questionably a better colour than those that parade around the pen during the day M‘ @011 up an top of the b01180 W11!!!

the sun beats on them.

The regular Inspection and tat- zoom; 0g foxes registered in the Canadian National Live Stock Rec- ords will start October 15th. On that day the various Inspectors who have been macs familiar with trio standards of the Association will boggy; their very arduous tasks. which will take them over the whole Dominion wherever foxes are dom- iciled. we understand that Prince Edward Island has by far the let's- est munbershlp and number of (we; registered oi any oi the. nine

Provinces. It will be interesting '

when the total figures are released. as‘ they will be later on in the season, to find out exactly. howwc stand '

Regarding the production of sil- vs; gcxes in this Province. we have macs many inquiries 0f P909141 connected with the different lfiir Pools and omcials oi the Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders’ As- sociation and have arrived at the conclusion that the total crop of pups in Prince Edward Island this you will 5e in the neighborhood oi 30,000. Some say 100,000 but we thing‘ ‘that 80,000 is nearer the mark. If the figures given above in regard to the United Stains pro- duction are correct, then the total for this Province would be about four-fifths that of the United States ~
