Page Four Section A Tucson, Wednesday, August 24, 19S3 The Arizona Daily Star Cows quit giving milk as South sears with no relief in sight In Alabama, Albert McDonald, state agriculture commissioner, said crop damage would total in the millions. He said northern Alabama had not had a good, steady rain since early July. "Without rain soon," he said, "the soybean crop will be a total disaster. "This is the worst drought there since 1954," he said. Johnny Bryant, an Alabama farmer in the Wellington community, said his soybeans, sorghum and corn are burned out by the drought.
"We can only hope for another year, another time," he said. In Ohio, agriculture officials said disaster relief may be sought for at least 28 coun- 99.9 million bushels of corn, which would amount to about $330 million at current prices, according to the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. However, if the drought takes its toll on the dryland crop as feared, about one-third of that $110 million would be lost. The Kentucky Crop Livestock Reporting Service rated the tobacco crop in poor condition and said many growers were being forced to begin harvesting earlier than usual because leaves were drying up. North Carolina agricultural agents reported that tobacco leaves are burned on the tips, resulting in reduced quality and prices.
The soybean crop in North Carolina's southeast counties also has been hit hard and smaller corn yields are expected. "I can't remember the com situation being as bad as it is," said Orman West, program specialist with the Tennessee Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. The Georgia Crop Reporting Service said only 8 percent of the state's counties have adequate moisture in the soil and that crops are beginning to deteriorate. "It is severely affecting dairy cows, all livestock and probably anyone who has farming to do," said William Moore, executive director of Georgia Milk Producers Inc. In Georgia, the nation's leading poultry producer, at least 879,000 breeder and broiler chickens about 11 percent of the total processed had suffocated from the heat this week, according to the state Department of Agriculture.
Surviving chickens lost up to one-third of a pound each because of the heat. One outfit in Lancaster, reported losing 60,000 chickens, costing the firm $1 a bird. "It's a disaster throughout the Southeast," said Ralph Sasser, a southeastern district agricultural agent. However, heat deaths have so far made only a small dent in the 1983 overall broiler output, which is projected io be up slightly from the 1982 record of more than 4 billion birds, said the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Frank Mosier, director of Kansas' arm of the U.S. Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Department, said it's still too early to tell how much crop damage will result from drought. "I know a lot of farmers are already cutting their corn for silage and fodder because it's not in a condition to mature as a grain crop," Mosier said. This year's crop is projected to produce Nebraska even some flooding was reportedforecaster Steve Corfidi in Kansas City said, "They will probably be back in the I hot stuff by tomorrow." High-temperature marks were set or tied in 25 cities in a dozen states Monday, from Missouri to the Carolinas. The current heat wave, which began Saturday, has broken daily records in up to 40 cities.
By early afternoon yesterday, temperatures were back into the 100s across parts of South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, with Athens, on the road to another record with a reading of 104. A record was broken with 100 degrees at Nashville, Tenn. Schools were ordered closed yesterday for Nashville's 63,000 students. Charles Fra-zier, director of the school system, said that on Monday the temperatures in some classes ranged from 96 to 100 degrees.

Crops such as corn and soybeans have been decimated from a drought from Michigan to Mississippi, putting a big dent in the nation's supply of teed for livestock, and hundreds of thousands of chickens died in their pens from Pennsylvania to Georgia. By David L. Langford Th Associated Prats A record heat wave that killed at least IS people as it spread southward from the Midwest broiled Dixie again yesterday, burning crops, closing schools, and sending old people to cool shelters. Crops shriveled, chickens smothered, and cows quit giving milk. Relief organizations handed out hundreds of air conditioners and fans to the needy and elderly in such cities as Chattanooga, and Louisville, where the mercury topped 100 degrees for three consecutive days.
Many schools in states such as Kentucky, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina either closed or began half-day schedules because the classrooms were not air-conditioned. "We see no immediate relief from the heat," said Harry Gordon, a spokesman for the national Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City, Mo. "The nation's high was 107 yesterday in Augusta, and Fayette-ville, N.C., and we expect more of the same around there today." While thunderstorms during the night sprinkled brief relief across the Midwest with almost 6 inches of rain in parts of "There are parts of Ohio that are just as bad as Indiana and Illinois," said Thomas McMillan, chairman of the Ohio Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service Committee. While about 200 people died in a July heat wave across the country, the heat since Saturday has been blamed for five deaths in Alabama, two each in Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky, and one each in North Carolina and Illinois.
