live STOCK RUNS
DROP OFF SHARPLY
Early Week Gains Cut Down-MOst
Cattle Close LOwer-H0gs Have
Big Break-Lambs Also OF

(By u. S. Bureau of Markets and Min
nesota Department of Agricultural
South st. Paul, Mimi, March 10
Cattle, hogs, and lambs have all come
in for declines this week, on account
of sharply increased supplies early in
the week, caused in part no doubt by
the unsettled conditions incident to
packer house labor situation and a
desire to get stock out of the way be-
fore the rush Of spring work. Some
of the declines in cattle and hogs are
traceable in part also to lower prices
on the dressed product, prices of both
beef and pork dropping sharply in cas-
tern markets following an advance on
Monday. General supplies at seven
markets have dropped off sharply
since midweek, a surplus of 1900
cattle being reduced to 5000, and an
increase of $4,000 in hogs Wednesday
being turned into a decrease of about
$4,000 by the close of the week.
Local cattle trade of the week has
been featured by the sale of a consid-
cradle number of fat steers to be
taken back to the country for further
feeding and finishing. Best load lots
of steers during the week have sold
for this purpose, one load averaging
1925 pounds bringing 1925, and an
other load averaging 1875 pounds go
ing at the same price. Those and
similar sales of steers appear about
steady with bulk of beef steers selling
to killers, closing about Csc lower,
most of the offerings selling from
$6.75 to $500 at present. Butcher
COWS and heifers selling above $500
are soc lower for the week, bulk of
sales ranging from $3.50 to $3.50.
Gamers and cutters at $3.50 ia $500,
and bulk of bologna bulls at $500 to
SAFE are about steady. Veal calves
are closing mostly $1.00 lower, with
tops at $500. Better grades of stock
ers and feeders are steady to weak,
medium and common grades % to soc
lower
Hog values have been discounted Sc
verely this week, part of the loss being
regained before the weeks close, how.
ever, with prices today averaging
so to Csc lower than last Saturday.
Range today $S.25 to 1915, bulk $500
to 1915, top pigs SLIPS. Lambs are
closing 25 to soc lower for the week,
with bulk of better grades of handy
weights this week at $500 to $3.50.
Sheep and yearlings have held about
steady, choice 9S-pound yearlings top
ping at $3.50, and several lots of light
weight ewes bringing as high as $500.

South Dakota May Have
Aerial Mail Service

Sioux Falls, March 20.-South Da-
kota may have aerial mail service.
Word has already been received at
the chamber of commerce that a man
will 500 come to Sioux Falls to look
into the possibility of mail service to
this city and other cities of the state.
If the air service is put into opera
ton through this section of the coun-
try, it is though that the route to be
followed will probably be from Min
neapolis to Mankato to Sioux Falls, to
Omaha.
From Sioux Falls to Minneapolis via
Mankato is a distance of approximate
ly 200 miles. An airplane carrying all
this valuable mail could negotiate the
distance in three or four hours.
On the return trip the mail from
Omaha and Sioux City, could be
brought to Sioux Falls, saving hours
of valuable time.

ing Of stubble. No damage was done

How Town Was
Almost Hog Lot

"Djever hear the story about the
South Dakota town which almost be-
came a hog lot? injured c. V. Wilson
OF Mitchell who was in Aberdeen yes
terday.
lit was a good joke on a banker in
a certain South Dakota town and is
said TO be true. II appears that this
banker had a mortgage upon a num-
Der of hogs which a farmer in his
county was feeding for market. The
farmer, according to another banker.
who told me the story, is one of those
individuals who cannot be bluffed.
The farmer had brrowed a consider
able sum on those hogs. but the mar
ket had not reached a point where the
hogs could be sold at a profit and the
farmer wanted to feed them for a
longer time, hoping that the market
would turn. But he was short of cash
and had to have money to buy hog ra-
tons and he went to his banker and
applied for an additional loan.
THE banker said he could not make
the loan.
All right" said the farmer. 81
do not want to see those hogs starve
and I'll haul them into you tomorrow
morning. You can take them on the
mortgage which you hold now.
But | have no pen in which to keep
the hogs" said the banker.
Il should worry" said the farmer,
81 haul those hogs into town in the
morning and after notifying you that
they are here will turn them loose.
They'll all be yours to have and to
hold and to fatten and keep until the
market gets better. You nved have
no expense in foreclosing your mort
gage"
And the farmer strobe out of the
bank and hoped into his automobile.
He had just turned on the motor when
the banker rushed from the door and
stopped him. And then the farmer
got his additional loan"
