sity of human nature. The
county treasurer, who has
enough to do as it is, was hav-
ing a rough time with the aut-
omobile owners who came into
his office to have their cars
assessed. So in due time he
printed a nice sign-with red
fnk,-and hung it outside the
door. It was a polite request to
see the assessor instead of the
treasurer about automotive as
SeSSment.
No one paid the least at
tention to it. Then one day, the
sign fell off the wall and some
one re-hung it, upside down.
Now, Charlie Goodnow tells us,
everybody reads it. So the sign
will stay upside down as long
as there is any need for it.
We always figured the gentle
men land especially the golf
ers) of Hardin took a back seat
for no one in matters of Sar-
torial elegance. They were a
spruce-looking group of char
acters when they arrived in
Sheridan Sunday morning for a
match with the Sheridan golf
club. But alas, the rains came.
The men who chase the little
white ball down the fairway
are a very determined group,
and they had no intention OF
stopping a golf match for a
little sprinkle, so they all kept
right on golfing right through
the initial stages of what turn
ed out to be a downpour, and
they were a sad-looking outfit
when they returned to the club
house.
All their competitors from
Sheridan went home to change
before dinner, but the Hardin
ties couldn't very well drive
some 81 miles for dry clothing,
so they were bedraggled, but not
at all unhappy, for the rest of
the day.

The Al club kids from Big
Horn county will be having the
time of their lives next week at
the Midland Empire fair in Bill
lings. We know whereof we
speak, having been a 4-Her
ourselves, even though we were
city residents. .
In our heydey, the big event
of the year was the Nebraska
state fair. The club members
always had one big night in the
grandstand, with a parade and
everything, and there was al
ways the Midway. We shudder
to think what would happen to
us now if we tackled the rides
and the indigeStableS offered
there with the same enthus-
iasm.
We always had a lot Of fun,
and the best thing about it was
meeting other club members
from all parts of the state. We
formed friendships through All
club work that lasted many
years, and we learned a great
many things too.
we never tackled the feeding
of a prime baby beef. (We pro-
baby would have tried it, but
the back yard just wasn't big
enough.) We did learn a great
deal about sewing and cooking
and we learned it the most
practical way, under home con-
ditions.
This type of club work gives
valuable experience in citizen

competitive spirit in youngsters,
And we've yet to see a Al club
boy or girl who wasn't a good
loser.

Market Outlook

ing margin if the strike ends or
fades out.
LAMBS - Prices probably will
continue erratic until the strike in
fluence has been eliminated. Ex-
tremely attractive margins have
stimulated increased slaughter by
plants not tied up by the strike. Fed
lambs are rather closely cleaned up.

Markets at a Glance

Prices-High industrial payrolls will be
strong sustaining factor under farm prices in
next few months.
Cattle-Stronger price trend for better
grades and weakness for lower grades prob
ably will start in next few weeks.
Hogs-Temporary increase in supply is prob
able in late spring; shortage in late summer.
Lambs-Early crop is small and develop
ment is below normal.
Wool-Mills are high bidders for fine and
half-blood combing; CCC is getting most rs
and A-blood.
Wheat-Export program is being stepped up
but needs appear moderate compared with
remaining stocks.
Feed Grains-Farm and terminal stocks are
small but light processing and feeding de-
mand will limit price strength.
Flaxseed-Large stocks of f1axseed and
weak demand for linseed oil probably will pre-
vent prices from rising much above support
levels.
~Seeds-Retail price changes during spring
season have been small.
in output and some gain
in demand are probable.
Hay-Above average pasture condition in
dfcateS weakening demand for hay.
Dairy Prcducts-Arrival of grass season in
northern states will greatly increase output
of manufactured products.
improvement in egg-feed price
ratio is probable by fall.
Poultry-Buying of baby chicks continues

Potatoes-Early crop in south is small but
large shipments from California are probable.

is small but, except in the southeast,
the lambs are not as well developed
as usual. Market supplies will con-
tinue light for the next month or
two, but will be larger in early sum-
mel when the delayed lambs are
marketed.
WooL-Mostly steady prices APP
pear probable. Offerings. of new clip
woods will increase materially in
the next two months. Demand for 3s
and VI blood, although better than
last year, will be unequal to the sup
ply, and CCC buying prices to mills
have been increased 2 to 9 cents
a pound, grease basis, for fine and
half-blood woods from the 1913 clip,
but they remain below open market
prices.
Carryover stocks in all positions
on April l are estimated by a trade
service at about 685, 000, 900 pounds,
grease basis, or 20 percent less than
last year, but about three times the
normal prewar holdings. The 1913
clip probably will be down 2 or 8
percent. Mill utilization is running
about 10 percent under last year
but much above prewar and more
than double domestic production.
Legislation to move unwanted woods
in CCC stocks to Germany and Ja-
pan has been proposed.
WHEAT - Prices in the next
month or six weeks probably will
fluctuate with government buying
and with new crop progress, but a
downward trend is probable as the
new crop harvest gets under way
in the southwest. The export pro-
gram has been increased by 10000
900 bushels and a further increase
may be made later when stocks in
all positions have been reported.
Nearly all the wheat required fol-
the present program has been pur-
chased. Farm stocks on April ]
were 256, 100000 bushels compared
with 139, 900, 900 a year ago. Com
mercial stocks at domestic market.
were 70,200,0 900 bushels compared
with $4,000, 900 a year ago.

high levels for the next few months,
but a lower trend of prices is prob
able as new crops come to market
in North America and Europe.
Farm cash income in the first four
months of 1913 is estimated by the
u. S. department of agriculture at
around $780, 00, 900, or 3 percent
more than in 1947 and the highest
on record for the period.
In the latter part of the year,
farm prices probably will reflect
the improving world food situation
and smaller export demand, not
withstanding the foreign aid pro-
gram. Exports of farm products
this year may be Is to 20 percent
lower than in 1947, according to the
U. S. department of agriculture.
While the defense program will be
a supporting factor under farm
prices, it will prolong farmers sup
ply problems. Farm equipment is
likely to be less plentiful than
seemed likely a few months ago,
and the gasoline shortage may be
intensified. Priority and ALLEGATION
controls may be restored later on.
Under these, farm needs would have
high rating.
CATTLE-Wide and uneven price
fluctuations probably will continue
in the next few weeks, but trends
by grades may begin a reversal. The
strike-created shortage has forced
beef prices sharply upward in the
past month. Processing margins
have become extremely attractive
and plants not affected by the strike
have increased their kill to the limit.
With producers holding back cat
tie because of the strike, offerings
at times have been less than oper-
ating packers were able to handle,
leading to a materially higher live
market. In these changes, prices for
intermediate and low grades have
been gaining on the better grades.
In the next month or six weeks,
however, un~dergrades are likely to
round a seasonal peak, then start
downward as the early movement
of grassers begins. Upper grades
are likely to begin a seasonal rise to
continue into late summer and early
fall. Owing to the short supply
and high price of corn, the supply
of such cattle is likely to be much
less than last year. Numbers OF
cattle on feed in IL cornbelt states
on April l were estimated at Is
percent less than a year ago.
Demand for grazing cattle in the
western range states has been &C
tive all spring at high prices. Rent.
ing of Kansas and Oklahoma pas.
lures has been brisk at rentals about
is percent higher than last year anc
the highest in the 25-year record
according to the u. S. department
of agriculture. Acreage guarantee,
are near normal but slightly les;
than last year. Owing to highe,
costs, cattle grazing will be mucl
more risky than last year.
HOGS = Wide price fluctuation
probably will continue until tn,
strike is over. Scarcity of pork ha

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 24.-There was
bright spot for Maryland resi-
dents in the income tax picture
today
Chief Deputy Controller Joseph
O'C. McCusker disclosed that envel-
opes containing State tax return
forms also will include a note to
taxpayers that the State Legisla-
ture might reduce the 21a per cent
income tax rate before it goes into
effect
Mr.. McCusker said in addition he
will enclose alternate schedules for
computing the tax bill on the basis
of per cent when the return
forms are mailed within the next
few weeks.
The tax on earned income for
1947 was per cent. Under an act
of the Legislature, the rate is
scheduled to be 212 per cent when
the taxes fall due on April Is.
Alternate Schedule Enclosed.
Tax return forms based on the
higher figure have been sent to
the printer but the envelopes will
also include: Cd A note to tax
payers that the Legislature may
make the levy 2 per cent again, and
(2D alternate schedules for comput-
ing your tax bill on the basis Of
a per cent.
Because of the States $4,000 900
general fund surplus in the past
fiscal year, Gov. Lane has called
for new legislation leaving the tax
as is, to give direct relief to the
individual taxpayer"
He and the Board of Revenue
Estimates suggested no change in
the States S per cent levy on I'M
earned, or investment income. They
also recommended no change in the
tax on income of corporations doing
business in Maryland, which is
scheduled to hit 4 per cent with
next April's returns. Corporations
have been paying IL per cent
The Maryland League of Women
Voters will oppose any income tax
reduction. Delegates at the
Leagues November legislative con-
ference voted to condemn Gov.
Lanes proposal as "infationary."
Even though the State seems to
have plenty of money, they said. the
counties are still hard up. Counties
and incorporated towns get about
81 per cent of the States income
tax revenues.
State Senator Wilbur r. Dulin,
Democrat, of Anne Arundale, is one
legislator who has other ideas.

1t will surprise a good many citi-
zens Of Montgomery County that
one of the 10 candidates for council
forgot to vote on the charter ques-
ton in the November referendum.
But the people won't be any more
surprised than this candidate, Au-
gustus r. Selby, was when he was
nominated.
Mr.. Selby is a Germantown miller
and banker. He never paid much
attention to the charter issue, which
was spirited for years. He just
tended his businesses and left no-
litical matters to the politicians.
A good Republican, he went to
the polls November 2 and voted for
the presidency and the House Of
Representatives. When he emerged
from the curtained voting machine
he realized he had overlooked
casting a ballot on the charter
adoption.
Embarrassed by Oversight.
Mr.. Selby admits to little en-
barrassment over failing to vote on
so important matter. Soon, how
ever, he forgot the incident.
To his amazement, one day late
in November the Charter Nominal
ing Committee requested permission
to put his name on the council
slate.
Truth of the matter Is 7 hadn't
ever read the charter through.
Surely was funny how things got
turned around. They wanted me to
be a candidate" he said.
Mr.. Selby said he was reluctant
to run. He had been urged before
to seek the office of county commits
and refused. The only pub
lie office he ever held was as a
member of q Montgomery County
draft board.
The Nominating Committee told
Mr.. Selby that Mt least two other
of its candidates had made their de-
cision to seek council places con-
tingent on MIR. selby's agreement

Deduction Of U. S. Tax Asked.
Several legislators want to permit
the deduction of Federal income
taxes in computing the State tax.
The State Grange and the State
Farm Bureau have gone on record
in favor Of such a deduction. They
also urge higher exemptions for per-
sons IS and over.
The Legislative Council early this
year voted against the Federal tax
deduction idea.
Judge Joseph Sherbow of the
Baltimore Supreme Bench has come
up with a suggestion for an amend
ment to let taxpayers deduct any
business losses.

all residents and to those doing
business in the State, including
Washington Government workers

Gated in Maryland.
