dex of prices received by farmers
down to 12S as of that date compar-
ed with 130 on April is and 1903 on
May Is a year ago, 1t was reported
recently by the Bureau of Agricul-
t1ral Economics. The 1909-14 per-
iod equals 100.
Wheat prices declined sharply dur
ing the month ended May Is; other
grains except corn were lower
prices; cotton prices dropped sharp
ly; prices of dairy products declined
more than the usual. seasonal
amount, and prices of chickens and
eggs declined.
But declines in prices of calves,
sheep, and lambs were more than
offset by price advances ON cattle
and hogs. Fruit and truck crop
prices were the only groups to reg
lister substantial gains, with an ad-
vance of 10 points on fruits, and of
II points on truck crops.
Reporting on prices paid by far
mers, the Bureau said that the index
of prices paid for feed Cineluding
feed grains, millfeed and hay) was
153 per cent of pre-war on. May is,
or the same as ON April Is. Unfav1
orable weather in April was report
ed to have retarded pastures and
caused an unexpected increase in
food reoiliremenfs
The index of all prices paid by
farmers in May was unchanged
from the April figure of 134 per cent
of pre-war. The ratio of prices re-
ceiyed to prices paid was reported
at 96 per cent of pre-war in mid
May. compared with 81 on April Is,
and with IS on May Is, 1886.

Burning is used mostly to dispose

chemicals are particularly adaptable
for use along guardrails, around cul-
vert headwalls, and in other places
not readily accessible for cutting.
Besides being unsightly. roadside
weeds may hide highway warning
signs, shorten vision. and hinder
drainage. Control of roadside weeds
directly benefits farmers. Seeds
from uncontrolled roadside weeds
are carried to adjacent fields by
wind. water, and birds. Passing
automobiles carry seed to distant

Audiences are the thing Waring, like
any other performer, is fondest Of.
He found Hollywood fun, picture-mak

IN ear to play to and you can have
the camera any time. Varsity Show

THAT college boy spirit which was
the spring board from which the
Pennsylvanians leaped to fame isn't

the man with the baton really are en-
