WHEAT LOAN VAL
UES INCREASED

An advance of seven cents per bu'
shell in wheat loan rates was announ-
ced July s through the State office OF
the Agricultural Adjustment Agency
at College Park. This increase ap-
plies to all grades of wheat at all
points.
The increase makes the loan rate
for No. Red Winter Garlicky wheat
received by rail in Baltimore or Phil
adelphia $1.63 per bushel. Cores
ponding increases are applicable to
wheat stored on farms or in approved
county elevators. The county prices
on the grade referred to above range
from $3.50 to $1.54 per bushel, de-
pending on point of origin.
The increase in loan value, accord
ing to Joseph H. Blandford, Chair
man of the State AAA Committee,
was made to bring the support price
on wheat more nearly in line with
the price on other farm commodities.
The new loan rate is based on 80 %
of parity, adjusted for type of wheat
and locality. Mr.. Blandford expects
this announcement to have an imme-
date effect on the recently falling
market price on new wheat.

Believe 1t Or Not

The Oxford, Pa, News is respon-
sible for this one:
In his popular sketch serial, BE
lieve 1t Or Not" Artist Ripley tells
of a golf drive which was two miles
in length and uphill. lie explained
later that the drive YVES made on the
ice on a stream.
But beside the feat of Prof. j. Mar
shall Thompson last week, this was
really minor achievement. Tommy
made good drive, something under
200 yards, but before the ball stop
ped rolling, it was picked up by q
crow which flew with it directly to.
ward the green. The golfers shouted
at the bird, causing it to drop the
ball from it's beak, but almost in.
stantly it was picked up again, car
ried closer to the cup and dropped
within easy approach distance, SC
that "Tommie" could have birdie
for the hole. Believe it or not.
