hold near the loan value in the near
future with some strengthening later
in the season. Crushers are well
stocked for a while, but growers
probably will sell remaining stocks
sparingly. While new crop supplies
are moderate, the carryover of flax
seed and linseed oil, about 80 per-
cent of which is owned by the gov
eminent is equal to one years re-
quirements.
To reduce domestic planting next
year, the support price will be
dropped to so percent of the April 1,
1850, parity, which probably will be
more than one-third below this
years support level.
SEEDS - Although estimates of
red clover, alfalfa and l~espedeza
crops are not yet available, total
supplies new crops plus carryovers)
of grass and legume forage seeds
probably will be moderate to light
again this season, and prices will
continue at fairly high levels.
The sweet clover supply is esti-
mated at 6 percent less than last
year and Is percent below average.
Growers who need to buy seed prob
ably should buy now locally, if suit
able supplies are available. Noxious
weed restrictions on seeds to be
eligible for price support have been
eased slightly.
DAIRY PRODUCTS Prices are
steady to weak but probably will
work a little higher in the next two
months as production declines. Cur
rently, the total milk flow is about
as large as last year and two years
ago. Pastures in dairy sections are
slightly below average, but liberal
grain feeding is maintaining high
output per cow.
EGGS-Prices probably will pass
the peak for the season in the next
few weeks. Prices for some grades
already are irregular. Total produc-
ton is still declining and storage
stocks are running out, but high
prices are curbing consumption.
The increase in production by
early winter probably will be more
rapid than usual because of the
large early pullet crop. Laying flockS
plus pullets not yet of laying age
are 4 percent larger than a year ago
The egg-feed ratio probably will re-
main favorable for several months
although less so than at present.
POULTRY-Prices probably viii
fluctuate near current low levels
during the next two months, anc
other meats will be increasingly
plentiful. Storage demand will bt
weaker than usual because of I'm
certainty about buying power b!
late winter and expectation of con
tinued large commercial broiler pro
duction.
POTATOES-Prices probably will
be steady to weak in the near flu

Carver High School
Band Wins First Place
In Rodeo Parade

Amid the caravan of color in the
Worlds Championship Rod o
Parade held in Phoenix on Friday
April 8, marched the snappy high
stepping Carver High School Band.
This prize winning organization
was dressed in the very attractive
blue and gold uniforms which were
donated to this group by the Will
liam H. Patterson Lodge No. ATT
of Phoenix.
There were some nineteen bands
participating in the rodeo parade
Including the official rodeo band
from Arizona State College at
Tempe, and the Phoenix College
Band. The personnel of both these
groups include former Carver High
School Band Students. Bands in
cluded in the parade represented a
large number of the cities through
out the state of Arizona. Among
the outstanding bands participating
were the North Phoenix High
School Band of one thirty
members. The Phoenix Union High
School Band of ninety members,
the Phoenix Tech Band, the ST..
Mary's Band, Mesa High School
Band and the Phoenix Elementary
School All-City-Band.
OF these many very fine musical
organizations we'll deserved first
place was awarded the Carver High
School Band. M ia High School
was awarded second place of the
high school b and division. The
Glendale Elementary School Band
was awarded a first place in the
Elementary School Band division.
All bands were judged on the
basis of their playing, marching
and general appearance. Judges for
the parade were: Walter Bimson,
president of the Valley National
Bank; Mary Brown, Women's page
editor of the Phoenix Gazette;
Robert Hannelly, dean of Phoenix
College; Warrent officer John M.
\Baldelli, Band director of the Will
liams Field Air Force Band; Frank
Brophy, president of the Bank of
Douglas; Mrs. Archer Linde con-
cert manager; and Howard Pyle
of the KTAR Radio Station Staff.
AS winner of first place in the
high school band division in the
Worlds Championship Rodeo Pa
rade Carver will receive large
engraved trophy to be presented
by the Phoenix Junior Chamber
of Commerce.
Drum Major for the Carver High
School Band is Donald Cole. Major
cites were Alma Williams and
Katherine Bass. The band is under
the direction of H. f. Edwards.
Arizona sun., 1949-04-15

on the board to which he was ap-
pointed by a former mayor, Mr..
Newell Stewart, five years ago. The
value Mr.. Hammond has been to
the Board may be atteSted by the
fact that he was chosen by the
Housing Board two years ago to
represent the Board at the Annual
meeting of the National Housing
Officials in New York City.
Since Mr.. and Mrs. Hammond
moved to Phoenix to make this
city their home a few years ago,
Mr.. Hammond has held many re-
sponsible civic positions and has
been prominently associated with
many movements to improve the
position of Negroes in this growing
Western city, and at no time has
he ever accepted any pay fop his
services which he has given many
hours of voluntary work.
Among many things, he was in
fluential in securing the improve
ments to the Phyllis Wheatley Cen
ter on Jefferson Street, providing
an out door lighted playground, and
the library, as well as the two
large meeting rooms, one of which
is now used by the Urban League.
For several months Mr.. HAM
mond gave volunteer service as the
first band teacher at Carver High
School when that institution was
making it's first struggling efforts
to start a band.
He was active in reorganizing the
Negro Soldiers Center on East
Washington Street so that the Ne
gro soldiers in the local camps
might have more of the services
which other soldiers were receiv-
ing.
Speaking of war service it should
be mentioned that this citizen
toured the state, again refusing
to accept the usual salary, for the
u. S. Treasury Department pro-
noting the buying of war bonds.
The late Governor Osborn ap-
pointed him as the only Negro on
the State Planning and Resources
Board and he served in a similar
capacity on the Phoenix Charter
Revision Committee.
It is general knowledge that Mr..
Hammond was influential in plac-
ing a Negro on the Phoenix Parks
