...inches, four inches, five inches in parts of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio! Let it break Drought's brazen back! People would again have water to wash their dusty faces. Cattle would again have water to drink. In some places rain would save the remainder of the corn crop. If it kept up, forage crops could be sown in ruined grain fields to help feed cattle during the winter. If it kept up still longer, it might replenish the subsoil moisture enough to make possible a good winter wheat crop next year...
...bread there would be just about enough, thanks to the wheat carry-over to make up this year's crop shortage. Where a family ate ten white potatoes at a meal last winter, they will probably have to get along with nine this year. But they can make up on tomatoes, which are more plentiful than usual. Milk will be scarcer and citizens will have to get along with 16 lb. of butter on their yearly bread instead of the 18 lb. to which they are accustomed.

The U. S. Government, although it presented different totals, unofficially estimated an increase...
Finally, 14? cotton is money in the bank for planters east of the Mississippi-and Atlanta is the one Federal Reserve Capital which continued, last week, to report mounting New Deal prosperity-but 14? per lb. for this year's 9,000,000 bale crop will not bring to all cottonland as much money as last year's 13,000,000 bale crop at an average...
...Cotton crop in 1921: 7,954,000 bales. That year the bollweevil did its greatest damage...
