Wheat-Crop reduction and heavy storing

further material price drop. - z
Corn-Growing livestock needs and placing

Oats and barley-Crop decline is causing
price strength; may be temporary.

reached the peak for the season in
late October or early November.
Selling on bulges as oon as lambs
have reached good weight seems
wise. Feeding lambs probably will
be somewhat cheaper in so to 80
days. However, the extremely small
lamb crop and large feeding profits
last season, especially on the late

demand for feeder lambs compared
with the supply.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

Prices for feeder cattle probably
will be steady to moderately lower
by early fall. Supplies will increase
materially, especially if many west
ern ranges remain dry. Cautious
buying on any substantial addition
al price break appears reasonably
safe.
LAMB prices probably will fluc-
tuate widely with the main trend
downward until early fall. Many
cornbelt and range lambs must be
marketed in this period. In the last
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-15

DEFIATlONARY FORCES prob
ably will dominate prices and eco
nomic activity for the next 6 to IL
months. The wheels are slowing
down in most industries except III
tomobile production which still has
a backlog of orders and total con-
struction where an increase of %
percent in public works has more
than offset a decline of about 5 per
cent in private building. A drastic
downward spiral still appears I'M
likely.
After a further gradual slide of
10 percent or so, a rather extended
period of sterilization Oh partial re-
covery seems probable. Hence,
farmers probably can count on sew
eral years of fairly good times, al
though considerably less favorable
than in the last two years.
Shopping around" in buying
farm supplies in the coming year
probably will be more advantageous
than usual. Different sales outlets
probably will be Uneven in reducing
prices of industrial goods farmers
buy. Moderate cuts are probable in
retail prices for many building ma
t~erials, paints, most products made
from metals, clothing, and many
other farm supplies.
Thus far, prices paid by farmers
average only about 3 percent below
the postwar peak while prices re-
ceived by farmers are down II per-
cent. Much of the drop in prices
farmers pay has been due to lower
prices for purchased food and feed.
CATTLE prices probably will be
steady to slightly higher for long-fed
kinds and lower for the middle and
undergrades, especially after an
other month or six weeks. Nation
ally, supplies of good and choice
slaughter cattle, especially weighty
kinds, will decrease in the next two

beef, mostly from the higher income
groups, probably will be well main
tanned.
Movement of grass cattle will in
crease rapidly in the next 80 days.
Prices may hold fairly well until
total meat supplies increase from
the fall movement of hogs. Kan
sas and Oklahoma pasture cattle
probably will be in better condition
than usual, but poor ranges in many
western states suggest that the later
grass cattle will include many stock
ers and feeders.

The Piquant History
of Tabasco

DO YOU KNOW how tabasco, the
piquant sauce that's the secret in
gredient of SO many superb dishes,
got its name? Have you ever
dered how it's made and what it's
made of?
This is q story that goes back
many, many years to the 1840's when
an American who settled in Mexico
and who shared the Mexican fond
ness for highly seasoned foods dis
covered a particularly piquant red
pepper.
Where in Mexico he discovered this
pepper will Immediately give you
the clue to how tabasco got it's name,
for the American found this pepper
of fine quality and brilliant color in
the Mexican state called Tabasco.
When the American returned to this
country, he brought the seeds of
this pepper plant from Tabasco and
gave some to a gentleman of Lou
isiana.
So highly did the gentleman from
Louisiana prize the peppers pro-
duced by these seeds that he gave
some of the seeds to a member of
his family who lived on Avery Is

PETER, THE CAT THAT WENT
TO SCHOOL

MARY AIMS PRETTY little grey
kitten, Peter, followed her to school
almost every day in the week. He
just seemed to love school. He would
follow Mary Ann into her classroom
and perch on her desk proudly, con-
tentedly washing her face. For Peter
was a very clean cat and didn't need
anyone to tell him to wash his face.
Most of the time, Peter was a
good cat and slept during the day,

land, La, and that little gift was
eventually to make history in the
world of fine condiments. Everyone
knows the Louisianan's fondness for
superbly seasoned dishes.
Our friend on Avery island began
experimenting with his Mexican
peppers to see how fine a sauce he
could make to use as seasoning with
his favorite foods. So successful
were his efforts that his family and
friends begged samples, and finally
he began to make the delightfully."-
pungent commercially. 1t was
he who called the sauce tabasco after
the state in Mexico from which the
pepper seeds anne
There on Avery island in Louisi-
ana, tabasco is still made today ac-
cording to the original formula. Ia
basco is unique in being uncooked.
The highly aromatic peppers are
m~acerated, then packed in oaken
casks and cured for three summers,
developing a rich, smooth flavor.
The peppers are then mixed with
high grade vinegar, run through
sleeves of finest mesh, and packed.
This is the history of a seasoning
that is associated with fine cooking
all over the world. A dash Of ia
basco in sauces, stews, salad dress
ings, added to eggs, makes that diff
ference i~n-flavor in which discerning
cooks delight.

SO the teacher didn't
mind his being in
the classroom. But
sometimes he would
start to play with
his tail or chase an
imaginary fly. Then
the boys and girls
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

would shout with laughter, and Miss
Brown would say sternly, MARY
Ann, you must not bring that cat to
school again"
So Mary Ann would take him
home and her mother would lock
him up until Mary Ann was out of
sight.
This went on for some time, and
then one morning when Mary Ann
forgot to lock Peter up, he disap-
peared completely. Mary Ann knew
that he had followed her to school,
but that was the last that she saw
of him.
She looked everywhere for him,
calling kitty, Kitty, Come Peter"
but no grey kitten came to rub his
nice soft fur against her legs.
That night Mary Ann tearfully
told her daddy that Peter had dis
appeared, and they decided to put an
advertisement in the daily paper.
Several days went by, and Mary
Ann waited hopefully each day for
an answer to her ad. No one came
or called her on the telephone.
About a week after Peters disap-
pearance, Mr.. Landers, the janitor
of Mary AIMS school, came to her
room and asked Miss Brown if she
would excuse Mary Ann for a little
while. He acted very mysteriously,
and Mary Ann was puzzled, but
without asking questions, she fol-
lowed the kindly j%anitor.
"Come on down to the furnace
room,'' Mr.. Landers said. 81 have
something to show you"
1t was dark in the furnace room,
and for a moment Mary Ann couldn't
see a thing. And then as her eyes
grew accustomed to the darkness,
she saw a box in the corner. And
what do you think she saw in the
box? Of course! Pretty, grey Peter
was sitting there, mewing content
eddy.
Mary Ann ran to Peter and started
TO pick him up, and then she saw
something else. Peter had three tiny
grey kittens! Mary Ann squealed
happily as she picked up care
fully and Rugged it.
II didn't know who she belonged
10, until this morning." MIR. Landers
explained. Il don't always read the
want ads" he added apolegetically.
I'm SO glad you found Peter"
Mary Ann said gratefully.
That night Mary AIMS daddy
came in his a and took Peter and
her family home.
Mary Ann calls her Mrs. Peter
now. And Mrs. Peter still loves
school. Now she brings her babies
too. She is going to see that her
children are the best educated kit
tens in the world.
