“The midwestern Corn Belt — which roughly covers parts of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas — will be “unsuitable” for cultivating corn by 2100 if climate change continues on its current trajectory, a new study finds.”

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

DROUGHT HASTENS ABOUT-FACE BY AAA ON CURBING CROPS.

Tugwell Says Farm Policy Can Be One of Expansion as Well as One of Restriction.

WORLD WHEAT PACT IS DIM,

That Grain Passes Dollar Mark in Chicago as Record Heat Burns Rainless Fields.

Special to The New York Times

WASHINGTON, May 31.—Confronted with an unprecedented drought which gives every prospect of major destructiveness to crops and livestock in the West and Northwest, an about face by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration on some of its production restriction policies was foreshadowed today. Coupled with this situation was uncertainty over the International Wheat Agreement.

Gradually increasing in intensity for several months, the drought has affected thirty-five States from the Rocky Mountains to New England, including Western New York. There is no relief in sight, J. B. Kincer, chief of the division of climate and crop weather of the Weather Bureau, said today.

Meanwhile, the prospective crop damage sent wheat above the dollar mark in the Chicago market today, while corn touched 61 cents, or 16 cents above the amount which the government lent to farmers on that crop.

Of the thirty-five States twenty of them are described as ‘‘severely affected.” In the other ten the condition is labeled ‘‘chronic.”

“A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FLOODS AND DROUGHT.
BY J. M. GUINN.

{Read March 4, 1889.)

After the deluge, what? The drought. It began in the fall of 1862, and lasted to the winter of 1864-65. The rainfall for the season of 1862-62 did not exceed four inches, and that of 1863-64 was even less. In the fall of 1863 a few showers fell, but not enough to start the grass. No more fell until March. The cattle were dying of starvation. Herds of gaunt, skeleton-like forms, moved slowly over the plains in search of food. Here and there, singly or in small groups, poor brutes, too weak to move on, stood motionless with drooping heads slowly dying of starvation. It was a pitiful sight. In the long stretch of arid plain between San Gabriel and the Santa Ana there was one oasis of luxuriant green. It was the vineyards of the Anaheim colonists kept green by irrigation. The colony lands were surrounded by a close willow-hedge, and the streets closed by gates. The starving cattle, frenzied by the sight of something green, would gather around the inclosure and make desperate attempts to break through. A mounted guard patrolled the outside of the barricade day and night to protect the vineyards from incursion by the starving herds.

The loss of cattle was fearful. The plains were strewn with their carcasses. In marshy places and around the cienegas, where there was a vestige of green, the ground was covered with their skeletons, and the traveler for years afterward was often startled by coming suddenly on a veritable Golgotha—a place of skulls—the long horns standing out in defiant attitude, as if protecting the fleshless bones. It is said that 30,000 head of cattle died on the Stearns Ranchos alone. The great drought of 1863-64 put an end to cattle raising as the distinctive industry of Southern California.”
