10 sell the large storage stocks may
add to weakness in cheese prices.
Holdings are about one-third
larger than last year and AZ percent
above the 1945-49 average. While
dairy prices are likely to decline,
the ratio to feed costs is likely to be
attractive enough to warrant main
tanning full herds.
EGGS-Mainly steady prices APP
pear probable. Production will ex-
pand in the next month or two, but
prices are already near support
levels in important surplus areas.
Consumption is increasing as prices
decline and storing has started. Both
will gain as supplies become more
plentiful The spring peak of produc-
ton probably will occur before the
end of March. Steady to higher
prices are likely after that time.
CHICKENS-Sub recovery
appears probable from the extreme
low levels reached in midi January.
With prices dropping well below
production costs, some dumping of
commercial broilers and fryers de-
veloped and laying flock reduction
in some areas swelled the supply of
hens. Removal of export permit re-
quirements by Canada increased re-
ceipts at some northern border mar
kets. Demand has increased SUBJ
stantially at the lower prices.
TUHKEYS-Growers expect to
raise l percent more than in 1949
due to the 1ate-season strength in
prices, lower feed costs and reason
able profits last year. Supplies of
eggs and poults are expected to be
ample.
POTATOES-Prices probably will
be steady to weak in late winter and
early spring and, for most varieties,
will rest heavily on government sup
ports. In spite of the smaller crop
last year, Jan. / stocks of growers
and local dealers were 7 percent
larger than year ago, rs percent
over the 1939-48 average and second
largest on record.
Heavy government buying will be
necessary to maintain the support
price level The government is of
fering to donate support stocks to
eligible domestic and overseas well
fare organizations and will sell to
private exporters not using govern
ment foreign aid funds at l cent q
cwt. f. o. b. cars at country shipping
points.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-02-01

Low prices for other meats and poul-
try will limit the advance, however.
Numbers of lambs on feed on Jan.
l were estimated at percent less
than a year ago and the smallest
since 1922. The reduction is great
est in the western states which sup
ply the major part of the late winter
and early spring receipts.
Shortage of feeder lambs has linn
tied finishing operations. Demand
for feeders is active, especially for
light weights, but some 80-100-lb.
feeders are being bought. The early
spring crop in California is getting
a rather unfavorable start.
WOOL-Steady to strong prices
appear probable. Foreign markets
have continued to advance and some
Australian markets are said to be as
much as. 20 percent higher than be-
fore the holidays. Unsold stocks of
domestic woods are running low and
scattered contracting of unshorn
woods in the west is reported.
WHEAT-Prices may possibly re-
main moderately weak in the near
future, but are unlikely to have such
an extreme break as in February
last year or two years ago. An adj
vance to or above the loan value
appears probable during the spring.
Sales by producers have not in
creased appreciably since the new
year began. Sales when prices adj
vance above the loan value in some
areas in late fall and continued
placement under loan or purchase
agreement up to the end of January
have materially reduced farm hold
ings. Jan. l stocks on farms were
lowest since 1941.
Exports, including flour, to the
end of December were only 168, 000,-
900 bushels, however. The govern
ment estimate of exports has been
reduced to $50 ,00O,0 600 bushels. Even
if takings are only 300,000,000 bush
els substantial purchases must still
be made at season when offerings
are likely to be small until prices
rise to the loan value plus charges
Less than one-fourth of the whea
exports guaranteed under the inter
national wheat agreement have beer
purchased thus far.
Recent weather has been less fav
orable for the new crop with lac]
of snow cover in some areas, 1oca
injury from ice in others and lacl
of moisture and some soil BLOWN
in the central and southern parts @
the western great plains.
FEED GRAINS-Any price de
cline in the next few weeks is nc
likely to be severe and probably wi
be followed by substantial rise mex

levels for the next few months. The
wheels of industry are spinning at
the best level in nearly year. Nom
agricultural employment in Deem
Der was only " of percent less than
the record high reached year ear
her. Unemployment has increased,
however, because of growth of pop
ulation.
Total personal income holds with
in or percent of the peak. Pay
ment of $2,800,O 100000 in insurance
refunds to veterans has begun. They
will be largely spent in the first half
of the year. Their effect will be
partly neutralized by heavy income
tax payments in the first quarter.
In January March, 1949. the federal
government collected about $780,
100000 more than it paid out.
Since aggregate consumption of
food per person is relatively con-
slant, mounting supplies of farm
products have brought declines in
prices which leave an increased
share of consumer income for nom
farm products or services or savings.
Recent price drops probably have
largely discounted these SURPRISES,
or will bring government supports
into play so that a rather steady
trend is probable in the next few
months.
CATTLE-Prices for the good and
choice grades probably will continue
to work downward in the next two
or three months. Owing to the high
level from which the decline started,
the drop may be somewhat greater
than usual.
The number of cattle on feed on
Jan. l set new high record, but
was only a trifle larger than year
ago. Feedlots have substantially
more calves and yearlings than
year ago. In the cornbelt, only 81
percent of the cattle had been on
feed more than three months against
26 percent last year.
Finishers intended to market only
80 percent before April compared
with AZ percent in 1949 Hence, sup
plies of finished cattle are likely TO
be lighter in the first quarter and
heavier in the second than last year.
Topping out at good grade finish
appears advisable through late win
ter and early spring. Prices for me-
dunn grades are likely to hold ur
better than prices for top kinds
Common, cutter and Gamer cattle
are likely to be steady to slightly
higher.
Prices for stocker and feeder cat
tie are likely to be steady to moder
ately higher in the next so days. De
mand is broad in spite of weakness
ing margins have been good for sew
eral months. Pacific coast finishers
who have considerably fewer cattl
on hand than year ago, have bee
coming as far east as Kansas Cit
for requirements. Dry weather i
southwestern wheat pasture area
has forced marketing of some cattl
and added to the supply of FEEDER
but they were readily absorbed
Early buying for spring grain
probably will be best.
HOGS-Prices will advance in tk

Red Chinese Expected
TO Have War Machine
OF Z Million by 81
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Dec. 27.-Com-
munist China. with her vast res
ervoir of manpower, may have a
fighting force of IL million men
by the end of 1851.
That seems a fair estimate un-
less something unexpected hap
pens to the plans for Red China S
war machine.
New additions to the Commu-
nists' huge army are reported
daily. But it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to keep track
of mobilization statistics.

lion. Many of these "irregulars"
are being shaped into fighting

The Chinese Communists total
mobilization campaign-if it con-
tinues at its indicated pace-is
expected to add another 2 mil
lion in the coming year.
The Reds announced their mo-
bilization campaign December IL.
Peiping called for all workers and
students to enter military train
ing schools.
They should prepare them

clared. for keeping "the dirty

1t is probably safe to presume
that enlistment from the ranks
of labor, which heavily outnum-
bers China's students, is at least
equally as high.
A Marking dispatch by the Of
ncial New China News Agency
yesterday said 5000 young pa
triots," all recent graduates OF

ALAMEDA. Calf, Dec. 81 P.-
A court order quickly ended a
work-stoppage at Todd shipyard,
where work on five military YES

One hundred and thirty AFL
carpenters picketed Todd yester-
day. demanding a 19-cent pay in
crease to So an hour. About 800
other workers refused to cross

That halted work on the Navy

were being demothballed, presum-
ably for Korean war service.

Camp Supt. L. E. Clouse said
the break was perfectly timed and
apparently carefully planned. He
said two guards are on duty at
night. L. r. Crismond was on
watch in the cellblock and the
other guard patrolled the ranch
style building at 15-minute in

Guard Bound With Sheets.
Using key made from a small
piece of metal that camp officials
believe was smuggled in by a
trusty, the four convicts unlocked
q cell door just after a regular
check was made. Mr.. Clouse said
they sneaked up on Mr.. Crismond
overpowered him and bound and
gagged him with sheets.
Then they got away before the
other guard came around again
on his check.
The convicts left their impro-
vised key behind. Mr.. Clouse said
1t must have been fashioned from
metal from camp equipment. A

mile from Culpeper.
Mr.. Clouse said Mr.. Crismond

After his recapture. Fultz told
prison officials he did not get
away as fast as the other three
and they were gone when he got
outside. He said he had difficulty
squeezing through bars from his
cell to another through which
they escaped.
The missing car is a black 1916
Chevrolet coach. Mr.. ClOGse said
the trio may be heading towards
the southwest section of the State
since some of them are known to
have friends and relatives there
About 100 men are prisoners at
the camp. In the October break,
convicts rushed Guard Gabriel
Clatterbuck, who was supervising
work on road job. They snatched
his revolver and shot him in the
leg. and later four of them forced

Why didn't American bombers
blast the big hydroelectric power
dams on the joint Communist
border of Manchuria and North
Korea?
The question has been raised
among others. by Representative
elect Alfred Sieminski, Democrat,
of New Jersey. just returned from
duty as an Army major in Korea
So far as is known, there has
been no formal, official answer
to the question.
Mr.. Sieminski said in New York
week ago that GIs who fought
in the area and were forced into
retreat by the Chinese Commun-
lists ARE saying that a cartel has
stake in those (power) projects.
Let's blow them"
Unoflcially and Informally
(Which means they can't be
named) some Pentagon officials
offer one explanation:
Russia might seize on destruc-
tion of the Communist power
plants on the Yalu River boundary
as pretext to take an open hand
in the Far East war. On the other
hand she might not, but the
gravity Of the risk outweighs the
military value of destroying the
dams.
No Tactical Reason Seen.
Just who has the responsibility
for staying bomb attacks on the
dams isn't quite clear. The Penta-
gon vaguely refers questions to
"a higher level and to Gen. Mac
Arthur's headquarters at Tokyo
There appears to be no tactical
purely military reason why the

to the Yalu River area without
serious opposition from the enemy
could make such strikes.
If they wanted to remain as
meticulous as they have been up
to now about refraining from
crossing into Manchurian terri
tory, that could be done, flyers
say. Bombing runs by the planes
could be directed either up or
down stream and bombs dropped
without flying over Manchurian
areas. The dams could be blown
out on the North Korean ends,
releasing impounded water and
making the power plants useless.
Seven Dams In Project.
The Yalu River power develop
ment is under the name of the
Suiho Hydroelectric Power Co..
but obviously this now is a mere
name on a door for the Commu-
mist governments of North Korea
and Manchuria.
In the project, there are seven
dams, two of which are oper-
ating and five projected.
With Chinas open entrance in
to the Korean war, the dams
would appear to have a higher
priority than in the days when
only North Korean Communists
were battling the U. N. forces.
Manchuria. and especially the
city of Mukden. produces NUM-
tions for waging the war against

commandant final authority to
decide whether a man may be de-

the findings of local appeals
