PRICES FOR FARM
PRODUCTS KEEP ON
ASCENDING SPIRAL
New Highs Are Again Set For
Both Sales Prices and Cost
Of Operation

Prices received by Montana farm
ers increased during the month that
ended Jan. Is and reached a new
high level. At 80 per cent of the
1909-14 base, the all-commodity price
index was three points above the
mid-December figure and reflects a
79-point gain during the year.
A rise in the all-commodity in
dex was the result of a 12-point in
crease for the meat animal group,
along with a four-point gain in
grains. The sharp rise in meat ami
NAL prices was partially offset by
corresponding decreases in the prices
of poultry and dairy products.
During the 30-day period, the price
of veal increased 1920 per hundred
weight to $24, hogs showed a 81
raise to $3.50 per hundredweight,
while beef cattle noted an 80 cent
raise to S22.3O per hundredweight.
Corn was up Is cents to $2.35 per
bushel, oats up &c to S1.06, while
barley reached $1.63 for a 5 cent
raise. Alfalfa seed noted a 70 cent
raise to $22.4O per bushel, as hay
increased slightly to $3.50 per ton.
The price of horses registered a
raise of So per head to reach $40.
A decline was noted for chickens
which dropped from % to "a cents
per pound, turkeys from "a to al
cents, butterfat from 80 to 81, while
eggs took a sharp seasonal decline
from 68 to 40 cents per dozen but
II cents higher than a year
No changes from the price
the previous month were noted
for retail milk, butter, milk cows,
rye, flazseed, beans and potatoes.
The 6 point rise in the index of
.Tices paid, including interest and
taxes-the sharpest since II months
ago-results principally from high
er prices for feed, together with
tax and interest payments
Der acre on farm real estate. Pre-
iminary estimates indicate that tax
IS payable per acre in 1913 will be
bout 10 per cent higher, and that
interest payments per acre will be
bout a per cent higher than in

ROD, GUN CLUB StEKS
FISH DATA; PLANS ITS
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Concerned over the fishing STU
alton, the board of directors of the
Laurel Rod and Gun club at a meet
ing last week requested statistical
and other information from the state
fish and game commissions wild
life biologist. The information was
regarded as necessary before the
board formulates recommendations
to the Southeastern Montana Sports
mems association on whether to close
the Saltwater river to fishing after
Labor day and on whether to insti-
tute measures to protect spawning
trout. The Southeastern's recon-
mendations will be based largely on
the wishes of it's member clubs.
A matter that was also referred
to the biologist was the use of min
now bait in such streams as the
Saltwater. Some authorities contend
that many streams are planted with
rough fish as the result of minnow
fishing. Some of the Laurel di-
rectors were of the opinion that q
restriction of this nature would be
useless on the Saltwater as that
stream comes into the Yellowstone,
already heavily infested with suck
ers and other undesirable fish that
enter the Saltwater at will.
Plans were made for the approach
in annual membership campaign. At
ter discussing whether to increase
the dues, the board decided to keep
the dues at 81 per year as hereto
fore. President R. B. Packard who
presided at the meeting appointed
a 1948 membership ticket committee
composed of B. B. Hageman, Dee
Sherrow, T. S. Buford, Peter D.
Charles McManus, A. A.
Moser, Russell Barr and Boyd Muir
A Dutch lunch and party for the
members is always staged immedi-
ately after the close of the member
