Excessive Heat of August Cuts the

Prospects Eeduced
Washington, Sept. 10. The low

except possibly in 1921, was pre
dicted by the Department of Agri
culture Wednesday as weather re
ports continued to show large sec
tions of the drouth area still unre

Corn received another stagger
ing blow from the excessive heat
of August, the prospective yield fall
ing off 10.4 per cent during the
month, for a prospective crop of only
1,983,000,000 bushels. As now fore
cast, the corn crop will be the small-
est'sinoe 1901 and the first in 29
years to rail below 2,200,000,000
bushels. It will be 24.2 per cent less
than 1929 production and 26.6 per
cent less than the five-year average.
The actual shortage is estimated at
more than 700,000,000 bushels.

Potatoes Fall Off
Prospects for potatoes were re
duced by 34,000 bushels, hay more
than 1,000,000 tons, and serious de
clines were recorded for beans, grain
sorghums, buckwheat and vegetables
for canning. Important declines were
snown for tobacco, flaxseed, soy
beans, cow peas, sweet potatoes,
sorgo and cane for syrup broom
corn, grapes, cabbage and various
northern vegetables.
Pastures, which were the poorest
on record a month ago, declined to
a new low level on Sept. 1, and milk
production per cow was reduced 6.4
per cent below the corresponding
date a year ago.
Egg production per hen is sharp

NEBRASKA HAS MANY COM
MERCIAL FISH HATCHERIES
Nebraska boys of this and the com
ing generation need never utter the
plaint of their fathers that they were
cheated of a boy's birthright fish
ing. Fishing, like many other pleas
ures that nature was slow to endow
this state with, is soon to become
a natural adjunct of every running
stream.
The Nebraska Game, Forestation
and Park Commission is rapidly
stocking many state owned lakes
with game fish. The United States
bureau of fisheries at the request of
Congressman Chas. II. Sloan recent
ly sent agent3 to test the waters of
the Blue river for the purpose of
determining what kind of fish would
do well there. The agents made tests
all up and down the stream both of
water and fish food inhabiting the
streams and declared that bass would
do well in the Blue. This is a pre
liminary step to stocking the stream
from the federal hatcheries.
Commercial hatcheries are becom
ing quite common in the state. The
above views show scenes from the
Buffalo Creek Hatcheries at Haipler,
owned by Mendehhall brothers. The
upper picture shows four of the nine
ponds devoted to raising bass fry
and mature trout every year. The
picture of the lower left shows how
fresh water is introduced into the
pools from springs. The picture at
the lower right shows one of the
ponds which is host each spring and
fall to thousands of migrating wild
fowl.
Raising fish commercially is not
difficult work. They multiply rapid
13'. The fry at the Mendenhall hat
chery are fed finely ground live
which is cooked and spread on the
water. When it sinks to the bottom
the little fellows find it. The fry
also dine on plan life that is native
to the ponds in which they live.
A number of such plant3 are now
in operation in the state. Where
ever there is a sufficient amount of
fresh water, bass and trout can be
raised commercially and profitably
in Nebraska. A market is found near
at home. Omaha and Lincoln distri
bute an immense amount of fish.
The Pullman company buy heavily
cf Nebraska trout and bass for their
dining cars.

Postmaster General Brown Plans to
Make Suggestion to . the Nest
Session of Congress.
Detroit Postmaster General
Brown said Thursday night he would
recommend an increase in first class
postage at the next session of con
gress. Addressing the National Asso
ciation of Postmasters, Brown said
one half cent more an ounce on seal
ed letters and "minor changes con
templated in the rest of our rate
structure," would "wipe out our
present strictly postal deficit and bal
ance our budget."
He added that if congress could
then be persuaded to "adhere to the
rule laid down by the founders of our
government that adequate postal rev
enues must be provided by law be
fore additional charges against the
service may be incurred," the result
would be a solving of the perplexing
postal deficit problem "for all time."
Says System Elogical.
"There is not more logic and justi
fication in asking the government to
transport your private mail for less
than cost than there would be in ask
ing an electric light company to light
your house, or a telephone company
to furnish you long distance service
for less than cost," said Brown.
Since 1916, he said, the second
class mail rate has increased 82 per
cent, third class 21 per cent, and
parcels post 10 per cent, but the pres
ent first class rate has been in effect
since 1885 except for a brief emer

Raleigh, N. C. Sept. 12. Strik
ing with sudden fury at Cape Look
out, 15 miles from the port of Beau
fort, a tropical hurricane howled up
the North Carolina coast this after
noon, but was believed to have pass
ed out to sea tonight without caus
ing loss of life.
The full force of a 120-mile-an-hour
wind from the southwest buf
feted the Cape Lookout vicinity at
5 p. m., demolishing a dozen build
ings and damaging the coast guard
headquarters- slightly. Inhabitants
of the vicinity sought shelter in the
guard buildings.
Reports received here early to
night indicated the fierceness of the
storm was abating. At Cape Look
out, the wind had fallen to 16 miles
an hour by 9:30, but at Cape Hatter-
as and northward, the coast was
still battered by a 50-mile-an-hour
gale.
Earlier, Hatteras had recorded a
60-mile velocity.
Communication Crippled
Communication with the coastal
area was badly crippled. Informa
tion of the damage at Cape Look
out was given coast guard division
headquarters at Norfolk by radio
telephone. Commercial telepnone
lines were put out of commission,
but little other damage was listed
in available reports.
Morehead City and Beaufort,
neiehborinEr towns within a few
miles of Cape Lookout, did not feel
the full force of the storm. Their
telephone, telegraph and power fa
cilities were disrupted by a 50 to
60-mile gale early In the afternoon.
but there was no other damage ex
cept the uprooting of trees and the
unroofing of one building.
Shipping Unharmed
A dispatch from Norfolk said
weather officials there did not ex
nect the storm to be felt to any
great extent in that region, as they
believed the center had already
curved back into the Atlantic, whence
it came about 2 p. m., with the blow
at Lookout.
No report had been received of
anv shipping In distress.
Except for the coast guard and
radio compass stations at Cape Look
out, the only buildings are resi
dencies. The full extent of the dam
age will not be known until tomor
row, when communications are ex
pected to be restored. World-
