SCOUT CAMP WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
REPORT STATES

Sunday, July %, was the official
day for closing of the boy scout
summer camp at Laguna.
This years camp was, without
doubt, according to S. L. McCrory.
county scout executive, the best
camp they have ever had. Six weeks
Of genuine fun! And that was less
important than what the scouts ac-
tually got out of the camp in the
way of self Improvement.
\ total of 1877 bows attended the
camp. Twenty attended one week,
93 attended two weeks. and 13 at
tended more than two weeks. Each
Of the 127 scouts attend an aver
age of a little over IA days.
With characteristic scout enthusi-
asm 60 live boys enrolled for the
first period, and the second show
little letup with an enrolment of 81.
There was some doubt about hold
ing third period because it seem
ed surely that they were all there
or at least that is the impression
visitors got of the busy camp--but
33 signatures were sent in for
registration fer the third period
bringing the membership of this
years camp higher than any camp
previously held.
Eight competent adult leaders be-
sides the scout executive attended
an average of "a days each. No
earlier camp has had equal leader
ship to this.
Last, BAT far from the least cs-
sential adjunct to tn" camp was
the cook, who proved highly salts
factory both from the standpoint Of
the boys, who were in a position to
know. and of the executives who
found him economical.
Economy is an important factor
in the camp fer an effort is made
to run it for as low Il charge as
possible to the scouts, consistent
with plenty of wholesome we'll bal
anced food.
No boy left the camp without
pleasant memories that he will carry
with him for many years, perhaps
always.

Price Level of
Farm Products
On the Decline
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Ang 6. - The
general level Of farm prices dropped
from l39 to 135 per cent Of the pre-
war level from June u to July 10,
according to the monthly price index
Of the department of agriculture.
At 1879, the general level Of farm
prices is a points below July a
year ago.
The price level Of grains as a
group declined ) points during the
month. cotton 6 points, meat ami
mails 2 points, and fruits and vege-
tables 81 points, while dairy aud
poultry products, and unclassified
commodities remained about CON
stant.
From June u 10 July u the farm
prices Of cotton. cotton seed, oats,
wheat and potatoes declined while
corn, barley. rye and flaxsepd in
creased slightly. Farm prices of all
live stock and live stock products
declined somewhat, with the excep-
tion of milk cows and wool which
remained about the same as a
month ago.
Garry Over Important
As the season advances, the de-
Partmcnt says, the changes in pros
peetive production Of this year s
crops cause changes in the prices
Of farm crops, while the "carry
over" of the old crop is also an
important price determing factor.
The departments index of pur-
chasing power Of farm products is
placed at 81 for June, the same as
in May, the l909-14 five year period
being used as base Of 100. Thus,
the general average of purchasing
power of farm products in June was
- per cent below that in the five
year pre-war period. With 4
point drop in the farm price index
for July, if nonagricultural prices
remain at the June level, the July
purchasing power of farm products
may be as low as 50, the lowest
point since December, 1924

FARM PRODUCTION
PROSPECTS A R E
ABOUT AVERAGE
By United Press Leased wir.

WASIllNGTON, Aug. G.-Liitlc
likelihood Of more than average
production Of maior food or feed
crops this year. partly rs result
of unfavorablc weather, is seen bv
the United States department of
agriculture, according to its August
report on the agricultural situation.
Indications are for corn crop
probably somewhat below last
years, and below average. the re-
port says. The same is true Of hav
and oats. The total wheat crop also
is apparently below average. Even
potatoes, contrary TO all the prcdic-
tions Of ovcrproduetion, were in.
creased only per cent in acreage
this season, and must do very well
to make an average total crop. Lat
est forecasts on eotOon, however. in
dicatc n probable crop of more
than 100 100000 bales, which might
make supplies burdensome.
"Onc of the most significant eff
fects of this season : develop
ments,' the department says, lis
likely TO be in the corn belt. \ corn
crop above the average or slightly
less will almost certainly be fol
lowed by a read iustment in the fa-
miliar balance between corn and
hogs. If history repeats, pig pro-
duction will be increased and rcla-
tive price effect next year will be
in the direction of lower hogs and
higher corn. 1t is precisely in such
eases where futuer developments
can be fairly well foresecn that
farmers can exert some strblizing
Influence upon production.i
Wheat Crop Good
From present Indications wheat
producers. as n whole, stand to make
fully as large n gross income from
the crop rs they did last year. The
harvest is now pushing into the
north and movement of new grain to
market is general The movement
Of winter wheat has been notably
heavy, transportation and storage
facilities being strained to handle
it. Present Indications, the report
adds, are that the spring wheat
crop will be substantially less than
last wears. and the same has been
indicated by reports so far from
Canada.
The winter wheat crop, on the
other hand. has been estimated as
exceeding last wears short crop bv
about 10000. 900 bushels, which
would bring total wheat output some
1905 900 bushels above last wears
Stocks of old wheat are less than a
wear ago. The European prospect,
likewise, is inferior TO last years.
The report states that the live
stock industries are in general Gin
relatively strong position, adding
that they "mav continue so for
some time if production is not over
done. The sheep industry has enjoy
ed prosperity, but continued eXpan-
sion as indicated by 10 per cent
increase in lamb production over
1925 raises n question as to the
probable limits to which sheep pro-
,mction can be increased with pro-
fit
There was no notable change in
the Indicated purchasing power of
the leading farm products in June,
the report says, except that pota-
toes suffered some reduction. The
general level of prices, both of farm
products and of non agricultural
commodities, remained the same as
in the preceding month. The gen
eral index of purchasing power of
farm products in terms of non-agri-
cultural commodities remained ut
81, where it has stood for practically
ten months.
