will give a total estimated U. S.
supply for l947-48 of about AL mil

Domestic consumption outlook for
1947-48 is around 4-A million bales,
compared with about 10 million bales
the previous season. Exports r ex-
pected to be about 2k million bales.
If consumption and exports are about
as expected the carry-over on Aug
ust l, 1948, will lbe about 2.8 million
bales, or only slightly above Aug

World production in 1947-48 is ex-
pected to total about 24-3 million
bales. This added to the world carry
over of 17.8 million bales. will give
a total world supply of about 42.1
million bales. Total world consump-
ton in 1947-48 is estimated at about
26 million bales. This would leave a

Feed supply situation is the worst
in 5 years, due largely to shortest
corn crop in 10 years. Total 1947
feed grain production was nearly
one-fourth less than 194S.
Supplies of ~by-product feeds will
be nearly as large as in l946-47. Pro-
tein feed supplies will be large in
proportion to carbohydrate feeds
The U. S. supply of hay per animal
unit will be the largest on record.
Production in Mississippi however
is about one-sixth smaller than in
1916 and A per cent smaller than the

Demand for feed is expected to
continue very strong in 1948. Prices
of feed grains and most other feed

known. T.

U. S. Appeals
Court Over Rules
Decision Favoring
Negro Fireman
APPELLATE DECISION
ORDERS CASE
TRANSFERRED

Washington, Oct. 26-The us.
Court of Appeals decided that
district court ruled here last Tues
day improperly in granting Ne
gro firemen a tempory ban to
half alleged racial discrimination
bl the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Engineermen.
The Appeals Court held the
district court here lacked juris-
diction in the case because the
Brotherhood's headquarters is loca-
ted in Cleveland.
Without going into merits of the
case, the higher court ordered
the suit transferred to Northern
District of Ohio This procedure
was authorized in a new law which
became effective last month.
The Negro firemen complained
that the brotherhood restricts
membership to White locomotive
firemen and engineermen but acts
as sole bargaining agent for the
entire class of firemen, including
Negroes.
Similar suits are pending in
Federal Court here. G. C. Howard,
personel director for the Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad, said
last night action on a union de-
mand for equal promotion oppor-
tunity for Negro firemen was be-
ing held up until the suits are
decided. EFT
SUES UNION FOR $125,0OO
The union ask last January for
appeal Of a provision in 1911
agreement with the railroad where
by Negro firemen were classd
as nonpromotable. This prevent
ed Negro firemen from becoming
engineers. z
