Town Tidbits

After feeling snug all winter, Kodiak woke up Monday to the kind of weather we'd been writ. iag friends outside, we, just didn't have in Alaska. Nothing to com pare with New York's recent 2 feet of snow in l day, but still just about the winters worst.
 One person who wasn't bother ed by the snowfall was Martin Jensen. who snowshoed to work Monday morning.
 Mir. Jensen Is also taking up another popular winter sport, along with the Jimmie Martzes and Smokey Slower. MT. Jensen end Martz have salvaged an old 10 foot toboggan and are making a run fo, it behind their homes off Mill Bay road Tue toboggan, which floated all summer in 8 lake, is in need of some repairs but should be snow.worthy soon.
 Still on the snow story: here's one about 6 snowball that went astray. Mrs. Eugene Harding, against the advice of MT. Hard. ing, tossed a handful of snow to. ward the neighbors' roof, just for fun. The window of the neigh bors' house got in the way how ever. and Mrs, Harding is still telling the Clifton Cowans she didn't do it on purpose. MT. Harding is still saying "I told you so" ..
 Naturally the k ds had a fine time with their three day hol day from scl col John Gibbons, gar bage disposal contractor, reports he saw several works of art sculptured from snow. He re ported the two in the Ole Olsen back yard as among the finest ..
 Jack H'nckel got tke No 1 red and white stlcker which the city IS u ing to show payment of the new automotive vehicle tax
 Although it's rescuers lavished attention upon it, the little deer which Marine Col Martlndale found recen ly and took to Tom Felton's ranch, died this week, the Navy reported ...

Crop Insurance Gives Farmers Chance
10 Project Investment II Planiinas

ducers, A. J. Thompson announced
today.
The County AGA Office Is now
ready to do business with eligible
producers who want to put their
wheat farming operations on =
business-like basis from the stand
point Of protection against un-
avoidable losses as well as from
the standpoint of doing every
thing humanity possible to produce
a bumper crop.
Most producers in the county
can get federal crop insurance
policy to protect their wheat In.
vestment providing they sign an
application before the deadline
date. There Is some land In the
county which has not been class
flied for insurance in 1949 and will
not be eligible to participate in
the program.
Thompson advises wheat pro-
Neutrality-suspicious., tenants
and landlords-to pay call at
the county office to get full details
on the new plan Of federal crop
insurance which is low-cost pro-
lection of the wheat investment
against crop catastrophe. "This
is a sound business proposition. !"
he points out, "that farmers should
be willing to come and get and
continue to carry every year so
that they will have protection
when it is needed. It is low-cost
protection that they buy and add
to their operating costs just like
they buy more expensive seed in
an effort to assure more and bet
ter production"
Premiums paid by farmers for
federal crop insurance protection
are used only to pay losses suffer-
ed by insured producers. This
means that the actual loss expel.
fence in the county will determine
any adjustments in the cost Of this
protection to local farmers. Con-
sequently, over period Of years
wheat producers in the county can
expect to pay for this protection
its actual cost in losses paid. The
administrative costs Of the pro-
gram do not come from the pre-
miums but instead are provided
by the federal government as al
service to farmers.

Markets at a Glance

Demand-Consumer buying is at new high
peak; exports are below last year.
tl-G cattle movement will expand
rapidly in next three months.
price rise to late summer
peak is probable.
Lambs-Prices probably will decline mod
erately from record spring peak.
buying activity has subsided;
resistance to higher prices increased.
Wheat-Increasing demand and storing by
growers probably viii check decline near loan
level.
Feed G-rains-Unless drouth occurs. lower
prices are probable when oats and barley
harvest is in full swing.
Flaxseed-Prices probably will continue near
the government guaranteed level.
Seeds-Dealers report low stocks Of clOvers,
alfalfa, bluegrass and bromegrass.
Feeds-Increased output and lower prices
for feed grains probably will weaken markets
by late summer.
Hay-Early cuttings were generally good.
Dairy production, broad
consumer demand and government purchases
give strong price outlook
price trend Is probable as
production drops.
Poultry-Young chickens on farms are IA
percent below last year; turkey hatchings off
Is percent.
Potatoes-Prices probably will decline dur
Ing summer, unless weather Is adverse for
new crop.

ments and resistance to higher prices
is increasing. Buying of medium
woods halted after the recent adj
anc of 8 to 10 cents, secured basis,
in CCC selling prices. Higher wool
prices and prospects of further in
crease in mill wages point to a sub
stantial rise in cloth and clothing
prices later r. The possibility that
clothing sales will decline is causing
concern.
WHEAT prices probably will be
steady to weak during the next
month or six weeks when pressure
from the new crop movement will
be at its peak. The crop has i'm
proved in the past month and prom
ises to be second only to the record
crop of last year. If this prospect
is fulfilled, the total supply, includ-
ing carryover stocks, will be 1885,
100000 to 1875, 0o0, 900 bushels. Al
lowing 775,000,0 900 bushels for do
nestle needs, about SIS, 000, 900 bush
els would be left for export or for
carryover at the end of the season.
Exports of at least 800, 900 900 bush
els have been expected, and some re-
ports have indicated that they would
reach 400, 000, 900 bushels if the
wheat was available. Unless exports
are near that size, a rather burden
some carryover will remain at the
end of the 1948 crop season. Euro
pean food grain crop prospects are
estimated at 10 percent less than
prewar, although 35 percent over

JUNE u. ls4s

DOMESTIC DEMAND for farm
products continues extremely strong.
Spendable income of consumers has
reached a new high peak as a result
of recent advances in wages and the
decrease in income taxes.
While prospects for domestic de-
mand suggest continued price
strength, exports of agricultural
commodities probably will be con-
siderably lower than last year, even
with the European recovery pro-
gram. In January-March, 1948, they
were 10 percent under the 1947 aver
age and may be still lower after the
1913 harvest in Europe. Legislation
guaranteeing price support through
1949 on the present basis was passed
by congress.
CATTLE prices during the next
three months probably will be steady
to higher for the good and choice
slaughter grades and steady to lower
for the intermediate and under
grades and for stockers and feeders.
Highly finished cattle, which are
sold mostly to the hotel and restau-
rant trade, are likely to become in
creasingly scarce until fall
The grass cattle movement will
increase gradually in the next three
months, and will greatly expand the
supply of medium and low grade
beef.
Offerings of stockers and feeders
are likely to increase somewhat
faster than the demand in the next
month of two, although this will de-
pend in part on range feed and corn
crop prospects. The condition of
ranges is about 5 percent below the
average of recent years. While de-
mand for stocker cattle was strong
during the spring, fewer feeder cat
tie have been contracted for fall de-
livery than last year. Prices prob
ably will remain higher than in 1947,
because of smaller offerings, better
feed crop prospects and high prices
for finished cattle.
LAMB prices probably will de-
cline moderately in the next three
months but are likely to remain rela-
lively high. The lamb crop is abou-
10 percent less than last year, but
