STUDY OF FARM PRICES
SHOWS MARKET TREND

POCATELLO, Idaho.-A study OF
agricultural market statistics cover
ing several years, recently made by
Idaho Tech, shows some interesting
trends in the lines in which Idaho
farmers are most concerned. Be
cause of the bearing that the recent
move of the farm bureaus of the
corn-belt states to get the tariff
taken off Canadian livestock, and
also because Of the effect that big
corn crop has upon wheat prices, it
is significant to note that this year
has proven to be one of the three
billion-bushel years. But in spite
of the big yield, the price of corn is
now around $1.O7 which is much
higher than it was last fall.
Hogs are weak at II cents or al
most cents lower than in 1922.
One reason for this is that corn is
so high that hog owners are rushing
them to market to prevent feeding
them.
The 1923 wheat crop is estimated
at 789 million bushels compared
with SIS million in 1922. The mar
ket is slightly higher than it was
year ago. The world export surplus
is about so per cent greater than in
1922 owing to good crops in Compel
ing countries. Wheat sold for $2.18
in 1921, and for 81 cents in 1928.
The potato crop is short about
fifty million bushels, and the price
is better, 80 cents to $1.10 at
Chicago. Sugar beets as crop are
estimated at six and one-half million
tons compared with five and a
quarter million tons in 1922.
Western range cattle have suf-
fered most in the beet market, but
the prices generally have shown i'm
provements, gaining about $1.OO
over last year lows. Wool is priced
around "a cents a pound, which is 8
cents above the mean price OF 1922.
has fallen off recently
and further decline is possible.
Business volume in September
and early October was greater than a
year ago, especially in mail-order
sales. Indications point to a
healthy fall trade with increased
purchasing power on the part of the
farmer especially in the middle west.

O'Kean-Peach Orchard

The OXEN baseball team motored
to Peach Orchard last Sunday to play
the fourth game of ball with that
team. The game started in fine, but
shower of rain caused the game to
be called off in the fourth inning and
so it was a victory for neither side
O'Kean has won two of the games
out of three played with this team and
the indications were hat O'Kean
would have won this one. The score
was 6 to in Peach Orchards favor,
but O'Kean was up at bat and had
two men on bases and a heavy bat
terry coming up when the game was
called off. As one of the O'Kean
players we do not believe we got
square deal as their pitcher STALLED"
a few minutes before the rain began
as though he was afraid to throw the
ball to the O'Kean sluggers. We are
willing to always tote fair" and give
the other fellows a chance, but that
is more than we got last Sunday.

Importance of the Pacific is
seen in the approval by the
Navy department of recon-
mepdatiOns of naval board for de-
velOpment of American shore stations.
More than 67 per cent of all appro-
DriatiOns for bases and naval depOts
and .tir stations during the next 20
years will go to the erection of first
and second lines of support for the
navy in the Pacific under the pro
visions of the report which, through
the signature of Acting Secretary
Roosevelt, became the basic policy of
the department. Among the important
projects which the board and the de
partInent have given formal approval
were:
Naval base Honolulu, $40, ,52S, 900;
naval base. San Francisco. 26,529,-
