level of recent years. Because of this
change in the outlook quotations for
wool tops and raw wool for future
delivery have declined 7 to 10 per
cent from the June peak.

be steady to somewhat lower over
the next 80 to go days, with corr
prices likely to show greatest weak
ness. Marketing of new crop oats
and barley will be at its peak in the
next month or six weeks. In view of
the lower level prices have reached
and improvement in feeding ratios,
farmers probably will hold a large
share of the oats crop for feeding.
This will tend to limit further de-
cline in oats prices. Old corn supplies
on farms and in market channels
are extremely light, creating the
possibility of temporary tightness,
but if the new crop continues to
make exceptionally favorable prog
ress, producers probably will clean
out old corn very closely; hence, any
firmness in prices is likely to be
brief. Owing to the great increase

crop and make increased weight will
delay the start of the fall movement.
The fall price decline probably will
begin later than usual, and may be
smaller than in a normal year.
LAMB prices probably will decline
during the next two months, but the
drop is likely to be less than usual
at that season. The crop is estimated
to be 8 per cent below last year, 81
per cent below the 1937-46 average
and the smallest in the Is years
record. Supplies of fat lambs will in
crease as the movement of range
lambs expands, however, and COM
petition from other meats will grow,
especially after mid-September.
Consumer demand is unlikely to in
crease as much as the offerings in
this period. But demand for feeder
lambs will increase and will help to
support prices for fat lambs.
WOOL prices will continue rela-
lively high, although the extreme
levels for fine woods reached a few
weeks ago may not be maintained.
Mills are well stocked from their
purchases during the spring. There
are signs of a buyers market in
mems suits, according to trade re-
ports. Mills offered the army more
than twice the amount of cloth asked
for in its recent request for bids.
These symptoms indicate that the
tightness of cloth markets is easing

WAR FEARS and proposals for
price and rationing controls have
clouded the economic outlook and
disturbed both commodity and Sc
curity markets. The drift of interna-
tional tension and the size of the re-
armament program probably will be
a major factor in the trend of bust
ness activity in the next 6 to II
months. Government expenditures
are not likely to expand further un-
less the war risk increases. Signs
that supply is catching up with pres
ent demand are apparent in several
industries and may herald a bust
ness slump later on. Price controls
are not likely to be reimposed ex-
cept in case of actual war.

WHEAT prices probably will sta

ately below the loan value, then

Marketing of winter wheat will let
up appreciably in the next few
weeks but the spring wheat move
ment will expand. Pushing on the
market southwestern wheat for
which no storage space was avail
able has depressed prices 10 cents or
more below the loan value. How
ever, movement to mills and exports

Strength in wheat prices later or

ued large exports. The total supply
is estimated at 1,437 million busheL
or only IL million bushels less thar
last season. Large feed grain crop
will reduce the amount Of whea

Wire for the Future

WIRE FOR THE FUTURE! That's
the advice offered hundreds Of Wyo-
ming ranch and farm people who
will have electrical energy available
within the next few months, accord
ing to Robert G.. White, engineer of
the Wyoming agricultural extension
service.
Play safe and key that new wir-
ing system for the home to the
future needs-not only the present,
White says. Security and
fence will go hand in hand with the
new addition, providing these rules
are observed:
Start with a distribution panel
having fuses or circuit breakers and
branch circuits carrying the cleo
trical energy to the points where it
will be used. Be careful not to e
load the branch circuit. Not more
than 1850 watts load should be al
lowed on any n branch circuit.
For ordinary lighting purposes,
approximately two watts should be
allowed for each square foot of floor
space. For example, a house % feet
by 80 feet would require 1892 watts
for lighting purposes-which is over
loading one circuit-thus two branch
circuits should be installed.
Provide sufficient outlets to per-
nit the convenient location of fur
niture, he continues. Generally, one
convenience outlet takes care of
every IL linear feet of wall space
or one isolated section of wall which
is six feet or more in length between
doors.
The average house needs two
branch circuits for convenience out
lets. One takes care of outlets in
the living room, bedrooms and halls.
The other-a heavier one, is needed
for the kitchen and dining room area
where coasters, waffle irons and
coffee makers are used. The former
circuit should be protected by Il
amp. fuses or circuit breakers, and
the latter with 20 amps.
This precaution shows that 1861
watts is the maximum load that car
be connected at one time without
blowing a fuse or tripping the cir
cult breaker. Any appliance
which draws more than 1850 watts
like range or hot water heaters
should be on a separate branch cir
cult, and fused in accordance will
the load, White emphasized.

SMALL SEED

We wonder if it would do any
good to again advise producers of
red clover and alfalfa seed to do
two things = a. Before cutting, go
through the fields and dig out those
crops and weeds that reduce the
quality and increase the dockage
in the seed, and (2) to cut, cure and
stack the crop as soon as possible.
1t takes time and more labor but
it pays big dividends.
With some of the 1947 red clover
seed crop still being threshed in Lake
county it shouldn't be hard to con-
vince those growers that stacking
pays. To the alfalfa grower who is
interested in saving most of his seed,
getting a crop with good color and
weight, there's nothing quite takes
the place of stacking. Then again,
by stacking it can be cut 10 days
earlier and those 10 days might
make a whale Of a difference in
losses from hail. grasshoppers, rain
and ~shattering.
