CHICAGO, June 21.—(P)—Blessed
with favorable weather, the nation's
prospective 4,600,000,000-bushel grain
crop progressed today toward ma-
turity, promising to swell to even
larger proportions the surplus built
up in the United States the past
three seasons.
Present indications are that the
harvest of principal cereals—wheat,
corn, oats, rye and barley—may be
. only a few million bushels smaller
than that of last year, but 200,000,-
000 to 300,000,000 bushels shy of the
crops of 1938 and 1937.
This estimate was based on the
■ official forecast of wheat and rye
production and private trade statis-
tics on probable corn, oats and bar-
ley harvests.
Unless grain prices improve ma-
terially in coming months, as they
did during the past season, the mar-
ket value of the 1940 harvest may be
below that of the past three years,
Chicago statisticians said.
At current prices the prospective
grain crop would be worth less than
$2,500,000,000. The larger crops of the
last three years had a market value
in excess of that figure. The 1937
harvest of nearly 5,000.000.000 bush-
els, one of the largest on record,
was worth more than *3.000.000.000.

Scientist Visions
Dust Bowl Desert
In Long Drouths
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Associated Press Science Editor)
SEATTLE, June 21—Prediction
that the worst drouths in 20 cen-
turies are about to start was made
to the American Association for the
Advancement of Science today.
The evidence for them is in the
strata of rocks, which are easily
seen layers, one over the other, in
what are called sedimentary rocks.
The report was made by Halbert
P. Gillette, of Chicago, appearing
before the association’s geology sec-
tion. These rock layers were once
mud and said, which in time were
pressed into rock.
Each layer depended for its thick-
ness, Gillette claims, on rainfall.
Thick layers depict lush cycles, thin
ones drouth.
The rock layers resemble the tree
rings and the layers of clay known
as varves, both of which have been
District 21 Towns
Gain in Population
COLEMAN, June 21.—Population
gains over 1930 were shown by
seven of 11 area towns for which
1940 census figures have been
announced by H. H. Jackson, dis-
trict census supervisor.
Increases were shown by San
used by scientists to make reliable
and proved predictions about recur-
rence of weather cycles.
However, tree rings and clay
varves cover only a few centuries
of the past at most. Gillette de-
clares that the rock layers are a
permanent record of the earth's
whole past since rain first descend-
ed.
Studying them for the past 15
years, and checking them against
what is known of tree rings and clay
varves, he finds many cycles, some
long, others short. Dry cycles, he
says now are about to super-impose.
"Three of the long climatic cy-
cles." he reports, "have produced a
downward trend in rainfall in many
regions, culminating in a series of
drouths beginning about 1930.
"This series of cycles probably will
continue until about 1990. In many
regions these drouth bid fair to be
more severe than any long series in
the past 20 centuries.
"It will therefore prove fu-
tile to continue the present
policy of relief in the dust
bowl regions. Wholesale migra-
tions from those regions seems
advisable."

Leader Dead
DALLAS. June 21.—(P)—Charles
Lewis Tarver, M. former head of the
Dallas cotton exchange and former
president of the Texas Cotton asso-
ciation, died last night at a Dallas
hospital. He had been suffering from
a heart ailment many months.
His death ended a career in cot-
ton that reached to the farthest
corners of the world. It began four
decades ago In Brenham where as a
young man just out of the Univer-
sity of Texas, he started buying cot-
ton.
He served McFadden & Co. as of-
fice manager in Temple and as a
manager in Waco before he came to
Dallas in 1938.
He organized Tarver, Steele and
Co., here in 1908. From his Dallas
office, his influence gradually ex-
tended over the entire southern cot-
ton industry. At the time of his death
he was president of the Oleander
Compress and Warehouse Co. of
Galveston. He was a director of the
Farmer's and Merchant's Compress
Co. and the Shippers Warehouse Co.
in 1933. when the United States
extended a *50.000.000 loan to China
for the purchase of American cot-
ton, Tarver served as purchasing
agent for the Chinese government.
Survivors include his wife, the
former Nellie Harris of Comanche;
three sons, Charles L Tarver Jr.,
Joseph H. Tarver and Higdon S. Tar-
ver of Dallas; a sister, Fannie A.
Tarver of Dallas; and two brothers.
