SEES FARM PRICE
RECESSION ENDED
Agriculture Department
Says Situation Less Dis
cOuraging Now
CITES ADVANCES

The Department of Agriculture re-
ported on Monday in agricultural
situation appeared less discouraging
than a month ago, with "a number
of changes that may mean the steady
decline in farm prices has been
checked"
THE general landslide of prices
appears at least to have levelled
out for a few weeks" j. Clyde Mar
quis, of the Bureau of Agricultural
economics, said.
From June Is to July IS, as a re-
suit of the increased prices of hogs,
cattle, cotton and some major crops,
the index of the general level of farm
prices advanced five points.
THE advance in grains, particu-
larly wheat, did not occur until after
July IS. This months change in
farm prices is the greatest gain re-
corded in any one month since July
Is, 1929"
Citing he rise in hog and cattle
prices as the most notable develop
ment," Masquis said, "if some part
of this rise in hog prices could be
sustained through the coming year,
it would be of tremendous benefit to
the corn belt"
"Qn the supply side of the farm
er's market" he said, adjustments
are being made which should be very
significant. Not only has the pig
crop for next falls marketing shown
a decline, but there are also fewer
lambs to be marketed next winter.
Stocks of meats and eggs are small
er, all of which tends to reduce the
supplies and surpluses."

Bishops Hold Commune"
With Lon4-Dead Ruler

Before new bishop is enthroned
In Winchester cathedral he has to
have an interview with William the
Conqueror. On his way to the ca
thedral he goes into a small church
In the High street and there remains
alone for q few minutes. The origin
Of the custom is this: In the days Of
the great Norman new bishops went
to his palace as an act Of loyalty be-
fore going to the cathedral. So strong
was the hold he had on mems minds
that even after he was dead they con-
tinued the custom. The little church
OF st. Lawrence stands on the site of
the Conqueror's palace, and so for GEN.
turies the bishops have been visiting
the church, there to commune with
the spirit OF the ConQueror. "There
can be few other men," remarks an
English writer, "who have so set their
mark on the world that people pay
them state visits more than 800 years

Washington Tree Planter

There is phase Of Washington's
career which is not always mentioned
In articles concerning him, but which
is very interesting one. He was an
enthusiastic tree planter and collector,
and he sent to far-off places for par
ticular varieties of trees that be
wished to plant at Mount Vernon.
During the years from 1888 to 1885,
following the end Of the Revolution
ary war and preceding his election to
the Presidency, Washington spent
practically all his time improving the
large estate at Mount Vernon, laying
out his grounds and making his plant
ings. Still growing at Mount Vernon
are 45 trees which were planted BY
Washington during his lifetime.

the minimum wage was $28 a week

These figures set forth only the ac-
tual difference in financial returns for
service performed. Who can estimate
the other advantages enjoyed by un-
ion workers, including the shorter
work day and the shorter work week?
The striking contrast between or
ganized effort and individual effort
should give encouragement because of
past success, and should furnish in

termination to carry on regardless of
obstacles that may be encountered.

such good investment as member
