C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 21, 1953 Dry Weather Causes Crop Loss To Rise By UNITED PRESS Crop losses mounted today as a record autumn heat wave seared farmlands al ready parched by one of the nation’s worst droughts. In some sections of the West, Southwest and South, this year’s lack of rainfall was a continuation of a drought that has cut crop yields for three straight years Losses totaled uncounted millions: of dollars. This year the abnormally dry weather spread almost from coast to coast, with comparatively few states reporting normal rainfall as the growing season wore on. Flor ida, ironically, suffered from too much rain. New wells were drilled and emergency measured taken in scores of cities and towns where water supplies were drying up. New York was planning to tap Long Island water supplies Nov. 1 unless substantial rains fill the city’s upstate reservoirs, now only little more than half full. FOREST FIRE HAZARD The forest fire hazard, always great during the f&H hunting sea son, was worse this year than ever before in many areas, but no disas trous fires had broken out yet. In the midwestem farm belt, the drought stepped up demands for more emergency federal aid to farmers. The federal government already •had-vnade $80,000,000 available for drought release. Undersecretary of Agriculture True D. Morse told a meeting of cattlemen at Denver that the states themselves should lend a hand. Missouri's legislaure was in special session to cope with the drought problem. Among states suffering the most were Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Ten nessee Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina. In Texas, Commissioner John C. White estimated drought damage at $650,000,000, including a $275,- 000,000 loss in lower cattle prices resulting from the drought. GOP Chief Says It'll Take Time COLUMBUS, O. art Leonard C.
