TREND OF FARM
PRICES UPWARD
Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nOmics Reports Averages
10 Points Higher
THAN JULY Is LAST YEAR

Prices received by farmers dur
ing the month ended July Is were
only slightly higher than a month
earlier, the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics reported today. The
July index of 125 per cent of its
pre-war average, however, was 10
points higher than on July Is of
last year. Declines in prices of a
number of major farm commodities
were barely offset by advances in
prices received for wheat, corn,
meat animals and livestock prod
ucts. The mid-July index was,
therefore, only one point higher
than on June IS. The index of
prices paid by farmers for COM
modities they buy was one point
lower than the revised index for
June. On July IS the index was
133 per cent of the pre-war aver
age and only 10 points higher
than a year earlier. The lower in
dex for the month was attributed
largely to a continued decline in
feed prices. The ratio of prices re-
ceived to prices paid by farmers
increased one point during the
month, while prices received moved
up slightly and prices paid declin-
ed. Changes, by groups, in the
prices received by farmers from
June Is to July Is were reported
as follows: Meat animals, up z
points, chickens and eggs, up Z;
dairy products, up 3; cotton and
down 1; fruit prices,
down II; and truck crop prices,
down % points. The grain price
index showed no change on July Is
from its mid-June level. Wheat
and corn prices were upward, but
oats, barley and rye prices declin-
ed substantially toward new
crop basis. Cottonseed and soy
bean PRICES on July Is were sharp
ly lower. Prices of beef cattle and
calves continued to advance ire
fecting the relatively small sup
ply of slaughter cattle and fairly
strong demand for beef" Live
cattle prices on July Is were at
The highest level since June, 1880. |
A continued decrease in hog mar
ketings, it was said, forced local
market prices of hogs to the high
est level since SEPTEMBER, 1928 and
% the highest July Is average
since 1926. Sheep prices remained
about the same as a month earlier.

fence With Leaky Boat
REFUGE IN BROADKILN

Two Milford boys, Gene Scott
and Thomas Bennett, had a har-
rowing experience Saturday in
leaking canoe in high rolling seas
while on their way from Milford to
Oak Orchard. They expected to
spend a week camping at the
shore, and were making the trip
from Milford by canoe, both boys
being experts in handling this kind
of craft. The boys had reached
Delaware Bay, completed about
one-half of their trip when they
found the canoe leaking badly. At
the time the seas were rolling high,
and it was exceedingly difficult for
he boys to keep the small craft
right side up in the water. By
hard padding they finally drove
the canoe to Broadkill Beach, and
pulled it up on the sand. Their
supplies, including tent and blank
cts were soaked with water, and
the trip had to be abandoned.

SMYRNA FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
OPENED FRIDAY ON FRAZIER ST,

Smyrna firemen opened a Street
Carnival on Frazier Street, Smyr-
ma, Friday, and favored with good
weather have been showing night
ly with fairly good attendance and
receipts as good as expected. The
carnival occupies the portion of
Frazier Street between Main Street
and Delaware Street. There is no
merry-go-round or Ferries wheel
this year and the absence of these
is missed by the children, but the
children have one amusement in
the way of swings they can enjoy.
With no merry go-round there is
also an absence of music which
makes the carnival one of the
quietest ever held. For a time it
was thought a merry-go-round
would be here, but the concession
and its owner never showed up.
