farm PRICE
index DOWN
ONE POINT

The mid-month index of prices re-
ceived by Montana farmers for their
agricultural products dropped one
point from the preceding month, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics monthly price report is
sued today. The index was % points
higher than on June Is, 1912 and So
points higher than that of June Is,
1941.
Price changes from a month earlier
were featured by a ten-cent increase
in the average price received for rye,
and with the exception of oats which
dropped a cent, by lesser increases
in prices of other grains. The re-
sultant one point increase in the grain
group index was more than offset by
declines in the dairy products, meat,
animal, and miscellaneous groups.
Beef cattle, calves, sheep, lambs and
hogs all showed declines, as did flax
seed, wool, and butterfat The recent
trend of more rapidly rising prices
received by farmers in comparison
to prices paid by farmers has been
reversed for the one-month period Just
past, as the prices paid, interest, and
taxes index on a national basis adj
vanced one point during the same
period
The general level of prices received
by farmers rose points during the
month ended June Is, the U. S. De-
nartment of Agriculture reported to-
day. Rejecting the increasing pres
sure of demand on local market
prices, the index advanced to 100 per
cent of the August 1909-July 1914 av-
erage or SO points higher than in mid
June last year. Just three years ago
farm product prices averaged only 95
per cent of the 1909-1914 level
Prices paid by farmers, including
interest and taxes advanced 1 point
during the month, but this raised
parity prices of farm products to the
highest level since February 1880.
With the index of prices received ris-
ing faster than prices paid, there was
further increase in the ratio of
prices received to prices paid, interest
and taxes. Using this ratio as an in
dication, farm product prices were
1l6 per cent of parity in mid June,
compared with SO per cent a year
earlier
Evidence of the increase in domes-
TIC demand for farm products is fur
nlshed by the sharp increase in total
non-agricultural income payments in
May. According to preliminary esti
mates, these payments were 472 per
cent of the 1910-1914 average, COM
pared with 3S2 per cent in May 1912.
Average weekly factory earnings were
up again in May and at 3S7 per cent
OF the 1904 average were 68 points
higher than year earlier.

should be extracted from the raw or

REPORTING SYMPTOMS TO
THE DOCTOR

Today, the doctors schedule is so
crowded that home visits are neces-
sarily infrequnt To make the best
use of his knowledge and time there
fore, you must know how to observe
and report symptoms.
First, keep clearly in mind the
signs of good health: mental and
physical vigor, good appetite, quiet
sleep, clear color. The absence of
any one of these may indicate trou-
bic even before definite symptoms of
illness appear. Continued mild symp-
toms may suggest serious trouble just
as do the short periods of marked
symptoms.
Learn how to read a fever thermo-
meter accurately. The rectal type is
safest for children and for the very
sick; but remember never to let go
of the thermometer while the temper
allure is being taken by rectum. Re-
current or continued fever even if low
or sudden elevation show that con-
ditions are abnormal
A surprising number of people can
not count a pulse. Are you one of
these? Practice on your family while
they are well. The doctor is inter-
ested in regularity and strength of
pulse, as we'll as rate. Learn to count
the number of breaths taken in a
minute, without the patient being
aware you are doing so, and note
whether they are even, labored or
shallow. Observe facial expression,
condition of skin, appearance of eyes,
throat, nose, ears; the picture you
give may help the doctor to complete
his diagnosis. The number, color and
consistency of bowel movements, the
amount of color of urine, and the
amount and general appearance of
vomited material should concern the
good nurse, also.
To be intelligent about symptoms
requires more than just naming them.
In the textbook published by the Red
Cross for use in home nursing classes,
there is sound discussion of the most
usual symptoms which would be very
helpful in these days of having to
rely on your own judgment
Form the habit of writing down the
points to be reported The doctor
will appreciate your ability to report
fully and accurately; your patient
will be benefited by it.
