Deficit Reported at City Pool Amid Polio Scare
The pool operated last summer at a loss of about $298, per the part board report to the city council. Poor attendance due to the polio scare largely caused the deficit, yet council members deemed the pool valuable to the community and accepted the report without comment.
Wheat crop outlook for 1947 surpasses record year
An agriculture department forecast projects a 1947 winter wheat crop of 946 million bushels, 9.1 percent above this year’s record 873.9 million. If spring wheat rises similarly, total wheat production could reach about 1.253 billion bushels, with a spring wheat crop near 307 million and a reserve 200 million from this year, totaling about 1.453 billion at harvest. Prices likely ease, prompting government loans to support parity near 90 percent of the current $1.87 per bushel. Production could shift with weather, rye plantings up five percent to 3.571 million acres, no rye forecast.
