until halted by storage and govern

ratio probably will be quite profit

POULTRY prices probably will
strengthen during the next three or

as much as usual in that period,
however, because Of heavy winter

Owing to quite favorable prices this

POTATO prices probably will be

By GILBERT GUSLER

Increased selling appears advisable
if a moderate additional rise occurs
in January.
FLAxSEED growers are being
asked by the u. S. department Of
agriculture to cut acreage by SO per-
cent in 1949. Owing to the rise in
linseed meal prices, crushers are
buying a flaxseed aggressively at the

port level in prospect for the 1940
crop will minimize any rise this sea

EGG prices are in a seasonal de-

of anything about keeping the tree

THE GENERAL level of farm
prices, which declined about IL per-
cent from January to November,
probably will not go much lower in
the next few months. Market sup
plies of many farm products have
passed or are now passing their sea-
sonal peaks. Government loans,
purchases for export and other
measures will provide some support
While the average level of farm
prices may not go much lower in the
next few months, costs of goods
farmers buy are likely to creep up

by farmers in November was nearly
6 percent lower than last year, while
the index of prices paid was 2 per-
cent higher.
CATTLE prices probably will be
steady to lower for the better slaugh-
ter grades and steady to higher for
lower slaughter grades and all
grades of stock and feeding cattle
over the next four or five months.

be rather light during the winter.
While feed shortage is forcing the
movement of thin cattle from a few
range areas, demand for stock cattle
in the range states also is relatively
strong.
HOG prices probably will fluctuate
near recent levels for the next month
or six weeks, then rise moderately
in late winter. Supplies are around
the peak of the season, although they
may be somewhat heavier in Janu-
airy.
LAMB prices probably will adj

Savoy Traces History
Old. {. Negro Schools

A. Kiger Savoy, associate super
intendent of schools in charge of
colored elementary schools. talked
on the history of the dual school
system last night before the Oldest
Inhabitants, Inc, a Negro group, at
Odd Fellows Hall, Ninth and T
streets NV.
He said that in 1902, when the
City of Washington was getting un-
derway in the administration of
Thomas Jefferson, there were 494
free. Negroes in the District but no
education for them because local
law prohibited instruction of slaves
or their children.
He described the efforts of Ne
groes to obtain education despite
the law-which remained on the
books until the emancipation of
Negroes in the District in the sec
ond year of the Civil War. He told
how in 1851 Myrtilla M. Miner, a
white woman for whom Miners
Teachers College is named, opened
a school to train colored girls for
teaching. The first Negro public
school, he said, was opened March
l, 1864, in the Ebenezer Church at
Fourth and D street Sc. 1t was es-
tablished by an act of Congress.
He paid tribute to A. E. Newton.
a white man, who became first sup
erintendent of colored schools In
1869 and to John F. Cooke, Negro,
who became superintendent of col
ored schools in 1878 when the gov
ernment of the District had been
taken over by Congress.
