Farm Prices and Business Conditions

Farm Prices and Business Conditions
The general index Of farm prices
in the United States has advanced
somewhat during the last thirty
days and is 81 per cent above the
prewar level which is IL points
higher than on the same day Z year
ago. Practically all farm products
contributed to this advance except
eggs, milk, hogs and hay.
There was some increase in build.
ing construction during the month
and some increase in automobile
production. Freight car loadings
are below those Of last year. Retail
business was . little better in the
agricultural areas Of the country.
Wheat
Indications for advances rather
than declines in wheat prices are in
Dictated for the next few weeks.
While there Is m Increase Of about
10 per cent in the winter wheat
acreage, the condition of the crop is
exceptionally poor in the United
States. Prices have advanced in
Europe, Russia is not exporting
wheat and large Canadian exports
ara offsct to some extent by small
er surpluses from the southern
hemisphere. Prices Of wheat have
advanced in North Dakota in gen.
eral since about October and about
II per cent advance occurred from
April 8 to Is, when it was generally
known that the condition Of the
winter wheat crop was poor. The
price Of durum has followed the
same trend as for hard wheat Of
late: There are prospects for .
slight increase in durum production
in northern Africa this year. The
spread between durum and hard
wheat has been from 8 to 10 cents
in general during the last month,
Rye
The price Of rye has advancing
tendencies, probably somewhat in
sympathy with wheat. There Is
about per cent increase in acreage
for the coming year but the condi-
ton is not quite up to average. In
Europe rye has an increase in
acreage Of 3.3 per cent over last
year.
Flax
The immediate outlook for the
price OF flax is favorable. Flax It

reached $2.04 April IL. These adj

exports have been very large dur
ing the first three months Of 1928.
Consumption has been above the
average both in Europe and the
United States.
The price Of linseed meal has
been considerably above $50 per
ton Ia Minneapolis. This hish price
o. linseed may be accounted for by
the comparatively high prices Of
iced grains and cotton seed meals.
The fact that building activity e.
on . comparatively high level in.
creases the demand for linseed.
Feed Grains
Advances in the price Of barley
are largely accounted for by foreign
demand. Exports Of barley from
the 1927 crop have been nearly

does not mean that cash prices for
barley for the coming crop will
necessarily be high. Advancing
prices Of oats are due to the com.

crop OF 1926 and about 20 per cent

Of early lambs from
Texas and some other areas is in
by the middle Of May and
into June. Since the first of the
year the lamb market has been
strong. Sheep have wintered well
and breeding ewes are generally in
healthy condition. Prospects are
good for the lamb crop.
Butter
The decline in the price Of butter
the last Of March and first Of April
apparently marks the beginning Of
the usual seasonal decline. Pasture
conditions were unusually favorable
last year following . late, wet
spring, but this unusually favorable
condition il not likely to be repeat
Cd this year. Receipts Of butter
were somewhat heavier in March
than . year ago. The comparative

that butter prices will take the

Cattle have come through the

hogs were large in March, being

The February slaughter also was

velopment for a suburban group
Of modern young women, most
of whom were artists or writer's
in addition to being the wives Of
rising young business men.
It had grown out of a visit they
made to the rectory. to fix up
the kitchen there before the new
rector and his wife came. Nancy
had suggested a new color scheme ;
someone else had rearranged the
furniture; others had stocked the
shelves with good things to eat.
And before they were through,
all the women were envying the
rector's wife her new kitchen.
One of them said: Il wish you
girls would come over and help
me dress up my kitchen" And
that began it. They went. made
suggestions for improving the
kitchen and received in return
some most delicious refreshments
with the recipes written out for
everybody to take home.
After that it became a regular
institution, every meeting bring
