Southern States
Suffer Drought
Crop Loss Estimated
At About $1 Billion
The southern part of the United
States, which produces two-thirds
of the nation’s cotton, one fifth
of its com, four-fifths of its tobac
co, three-quarters of its citrus
fruits, half of its beef, and a third
of its milk, suffered one of the
most severe drought* m it* his
tory this summer.
Foe six long week* there were
only scattered thundershowers
over a great portion of the south,
an area composed of 14 state*. The
drought wrought vast damage to
crops and reduced livestock graz
ing grounds to virtual desert*.
Here are some state reports:
In Kentucky, half the state’s to
bacco crop, usually worth $220 mil
lion, was burned.
In Virginia 25 per cent of the
tobacco and corn crops and 20
The shaded are* on the
above may shows where the
drought wilted millions of dol
lars worth of crops. The gov
ernment declared Alabama,
Georgia. Kentucky, Missis
sippi, Tennessee, Missouri and
Arkansas “disaster loan
areas.” Crop damage was es
timated at approximately $1
hillion,
per cent of the hay erops wer* lost.
In Alabama the state agricul
tural commissioner sai^: “The
corn crop is destroyed.”
In Tennessee forced sales of
cattle, for lack of feed, pushed
prices down $2 to $3 a hundred
pounds.
In Georgia many cities were
threatened with a milk shortage.
Department of Agriculture offi
cials made no estimate of the to
tal loss, but unofficial sources said
it was about $1 billion.

World Sulphur Shortage
End Near, Farmers Told
The world sulphur shortage, crit
ical since the start of the Korean
conflict, has improved to the point
where U.S. farms and factories
are getting virtually all of the
sulphur they need.
Furthermore, the outlook for the
future is “extremely encouraging”
as the result of nearly 100 new free
world projects that will substan
tially increase the supply of sul
phur in vaftous forms.
This is the report of Langbourne
M. Williams, Jr., president of Free
port Sulphur company, who says
that “the large gap between de
mand and supply no longer
exists."
One-third of all American-pro
duced sulphur goes into fertilizer.
The manufacture of hundreds of
other items, such as steel, rubber,
chemicals, paper, petroleum prod
ucts and insecticides, also depend
on the mineral.
“There is enough new production
| in sight to dispel the threat of a
continuing shortage,” Williams
said. “Even if the requirements of
U.S. industry and agriculture
should increase by 1955 to the level
estimated by the Defense Pro
duction Administration, there will
be enough sulphur to meet th* de
mand assuming th* new proj*«ts
measure up to expectations.”
The new project*, h* added, will
add approximately 1,500.000 long
ton* of sulphur in various form*
to free world rrrodwcUve capacity
by the end of 1952, 1.359,000 ton*
more by th* end of 1953, 350,000
ton* mor* by the end of 1954, and
900.000 tons mor* by th* end of
1955.
