ring.
Mention was made of incidents
in Virginia and Washington, D.
c., and of stopping a night in
Laurel, Nd, because it had a
good name" After 10 days in
Boston, President Void went to
New York City to the Rotary
convention, but found himself
lost in a mass of people. He
could learn more of what went
on by reading the New York
Times than by sitting with the
~sweltering crowd.
The tour continued through
New England to the Canadian
border and Quebec. The latter
was quite a thrill-quaint, pic
turesque and entirely foreign. An
election was going on, and the
campaigning was in French.
Re-entry to the United States
was at Milwaukee, followed by
a journey home through the
northernmost tier of states.
The part the Wolds liked best
was not at the convention but
in stopping along the way and
talking to and becoming &C
quainted with strangers, who in
variably turned out to be just
like the folks at home-friendly
and kind.
The speaker was introduced
by o. M. Void, program COM

Reporters Comment.

Reporters Comment.
The people of this city have
put their time and energy into
one of the best athletic parks in
the state. A substantial amount
of money was needed to erect
the park as it now stands. Yet
many are failing to make use of
this investment by not support
ing the program offered in the
park.
Currently, the park is the home
field for three baseball teams
Farmers Union, Laurel Merchants
and the Laurel Junior American
Legion team. Attendance at the
games has been practically neg
ligible. Granting that bad weather
has spoiled some games, and
that a losing ball club can't hold
a rabid fans interest, we still
r faced with the fact that we
r not using u assets to a
full advantage. A good turnout
will bring better results both
ways.
Legion baseball is the stepping
stone for many a kid into major
leagues. 1t is national in scope
and competition is keen in all
contests. 1t provides real recrea-
ton at a small cost and at the
same time it offers recreational
facilities that turns the kids
energy into constructive chan
nels. An idle mind of a young
person can become a destructive
adult, so it is imperitive that all
should support a good thing.
The Farmers Union ball club
has lost five games to date.
There are those who are not in
accord with some policies used
by the club, but on the other side
of the ledger is the good pro-
noted by the club. A true and
enthusiastic following could be
formed among the members of
this community and it would help
the fellows a lot.
The Farmers Union has two
games at home this week. At
1915 p. m. Thursday they will
the Roundup Miners
and will play host to Lewistown
1t 8:15 Friday. The Roundup
Miners hold AZ and 80 wins
,ver the Union while Laurel has
!. 9-5 win on the books. The
Union defeated Lewistown 1875
the only meeting of the two
cams. There will be plenty of
Entertainment at the park Thurs
lay and Friday.
This reporter sincerely hopes
hat a good crowd will attend
hese games, not only as we'll
vishers to the ball club, but as
ivic-minded people who are in
crested in pushing this town in
. the spotlight of baseball
To show that the park
7as built for the use of u ath-
etes, let's not fail to hake use
f this asset.

The Indians drew first blood in

and probably will continue larger
than during the fall. Offerings prob
ably will be light, although they are
likely to increase slightly as prices
reach the loan value over a wider
area.
Free" stocks may become quite
small toward the end of the crop
year, if exports reach as much as
300, 900, 900 bushels. Stocks placed
under loan or purchase agreement
by Oct. 81 totaled 281 ,000, 900 BUSH
els. Allowing for the additional
amounts that will be placed under
the support program by Jan. 81 and
for the 1913 crop stocks held by the
government, the total amount i'm
pounded may exceed the probable
carryover.
This would tend to push prices
high enough to draw some wheat out
of loan stocks, or to levels above
the loan value plus the storage pay
ment. New crop prospects might
affect prices strongly toward the
end of the season. Surface moisture
is short in parts of the southwest,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-15

and early spring. Decreasing sup
plies of poultry also will help to adj
vance lamb prices during the WIN
ter.
WOOL-Prices are likely to be
steady to slightly higher during the
winter. Light stocks, a small new
clip in prospect, an increase in mill
utilization, and continued strength
in foreign markets are favorable fac
tors. Resistance to higher prices for
wool goods and clothing and arrivals
of foreign woods bought at lower
levels will prevent much advance.
Imports are now running materially
ahead of mill consumption and
stocks are being increased, although
they are the smallest at this season
since 1910.
WHEAT-Steady to slightly high
er prices appear probable by mid
winter. Export sales have increased
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-15
Markets at q Glance

Prices-General level of farm prices prob
ably will be steady to slightly lower over next
few months.
CattIe-Increasing supply probably will re-
duce prices of better grades during winter.
Hogs-Declining receipts will bring price
rise from December to March.
Lambs-Fed lamb supply will be light by
late winter.
Wool-Heavy imports are building up light
stocks.
wheat-Placements under support program
will mean tight market later if exports are
large.
Corn-Iight selling by producers and ex-
port buying probably will cause further price
rise.
Oats-Imports from Canada are cutting
down demand from the northeast.
Flaxseed-Impounding under support pro-
gram may cause tight market later in sea-
son.
~Seeds-Alfalfa, alsike clover and 1espedeza
appear to be the best buys for spring plant
ing.
Feedstuffs-Steady to slightly higher mar
ket is probable UP to midwinter.
~Hay-Severe weather probably will increase
demand.
Dairy Products-Cow numbers and milk pro-
duction are increasing in fluid milk sheds. -.
Eggs-Increasing production probably will
push prices down to new support level.
Chickens-Lighter supplies probably viii
cause price Improvement in next few months.
Turkeys-Supplies of small turkeys for
Christmas trade will be small.
Potatoes-Large supplies probably will limit
winter price gains.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

THE GENERAL LEVEL of farm
prices probably will be steady to
slightly lower over the next five OF
six months. The November index
of prices received by farmers was
239 compared with 271 a year ago
and the all-time high of 307 in Janu-
airy, 1913.
Consumer incomes probably will
be fairly well sustained until next
spring, and the percentage of in
come spent for food and clothing is
not likely to show much change.
Export buying of farm products is
likely to be a little more active than
during the fall, but considerably be-
low last year. Price supports on some
products probably will be lower
after Dec. 81.
Farm costs will tend to be sus-
tanned by the fourth round wage
increases and pensions for industrial
workers and by the law increasing
the national minimum wage rate.
While prices paid to farmers in No
vember were IL percent lower than
a year ago, the index of farmers
cost rates was down only 8 percent.
CATTLE-Prices for the better
grades probably will decline in the
next few months. The fact that
prices for such cattle continued in
an upward trend until early Deem
Der has increased the chance of a
decline during the winter.
Prices usually drop in the early
months of the year, as increasing
numbers of the new crop of feed cat
tie become available. Besides cat
tie finished in the feed lot, some of
the wheat pasture cattle and cattle
taken out to harvest down corn prob
ably will be back in January.
The fact that prices broke sharply
in February in each of the last two
years probably will cause earlier
selling this year. The greatest de-
cline probably will occur on top cat
tie, since about all of the high dress
ing, long-fed steers from the last
crop probably have been marketed
and few cattle eligible for a high
premium will arrive.
HOGS-Prices probably will ad.
vance moderately in the next tive
months. The governments guide
prices at midwestern markets rist
from STATS a cwt. in December tx
$16.65 in March. Receipts are round
ing the winter peak and are ikel,
to decline at least one-fourth by lat
winter. They are likely to be ligh
during the holidays, then pick III
temporarily in early January.
LAMBS-Prices dropped to new
low levels for the season early il
December, but are likely to improv
during the winter. Owing to tn
early movement of feeder lambs int
finishing districts, the high proper
ton of heavy feeder lambs take
out and the present large price dis
count for fat lambs weighing owe
100 pounds, the supply of fed lamb
probably will be considerably large
in early winter than in late winte

Professor Asserts Device
Can Prevent Deadly SmOg

CINCINNATI. - An Indiana Uni
versity professor said that a simple
electrical device could be used to
avoid deadly smogs like that which
killed 10 persons in Donora, Pa.
The professor, DR.. Frank T.
Quicker, Jr., said the device, known
as the CottereIl precipitation, filters
factory fumes.
Quicker said the smog frequently
found in industrial areas comes
when water vapor condenses upon
particles of dust and smoke in the
air. These particles are known as
aerosols.
These aerosols may be removed
rapidly and completely" he said.
'by means of a high-voltage cleo

individual particles and draws them

they are deposited"
