The county rate is based on a
national average rate of $1.99 per
bushel (predicated on No. 2
wheat) to farmers as announced
by PIMA on June 80. The equiva-
lent national average rate for u.
S. No. l wheat is So. per bushel.
The Agriculture Act of 1949 re-
quires that the price of 1950-crop
wheat be supported to farmers
at 80 percent of the parity price
of July 1, 1850 the beginning of
the marketing season. July l

Basic loan rate for 1950-crop

of $2.13 per bushel was announc-
ed this week by the Production

Cochenour, committee chairman,
points out. Wheat produced on
farms cooperating in the 1850

inclined to place them somewhere
between the Deer family and the

which are to be found oxen, buff
faloes and antelopes.
The towering. height of the gil
raffe is entirely attributable to
the great length of the neck and
limbs. A full grown giraffe will
measure approximately 10 feet in
height. !Giraffes live mostly in
forests of wooded country.
Undoubtedly this will be the
first time any circus has ever
brought giraffes to Union Coun-
ty.
The AL G.. Kelly-Miller Bros.
Circus boast this year of having
the second largest herd of per-

and the most varied selection of
wild animals ever with any cir

Roadside Parks
Prove Popular

Ohio has 278 roadside parks
in convenient locations in every
section of the State T. ]. Kauer,
director of highways, reminds
the motoring public. These parks
are equipped with picnic tables,
fireplaces, fresh drinking water
and clean rest rooms.
Roadside parks are becoming
more and more popular accord
ing to figures released by Chief
Landscape Architect, Wilbur j.
Garmhausen. More than $50, 600
persons visited the parks last
year. From the records kept from
volunteer registration, Ohio had
visitors from every state in the
union. The parks logs also re-
veal names from Hawaii, Can
ada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and
Cuba.
The Department of Highways
has received many letters
throughout the year commencing
Ohio and the Department for
providing a place for the motor
lists to stop and rest, get a cool
drink of water and a place to
let the children romp. Many let
tiers of thanks have been received
for providing a comfortable place
to spread a picnic basket.
Each park has a caretaker,
whose duties consist of cutting
grass, emptying trash cans and
keeping the rest rooms clean.

Market Terms
Tip Price Trends

Farmers who first hear of
changes in livestock marketing
conditions have a dis tinct ad-
vantage, says c w. Hamms, ex-
tension marketing Specialist at
Ohio State University.
Livestock market news is an
important tool that the farmer
can use to his advantage, he adds.
This tool can be kept in good
working condition by listening
to radio reports and by reading
market quotations found in news
papers.
Farmers will find that an I'M
derstanding of terms most COM
monty used to describe livestock
price trends and price quota
tons will aid them is appraising
or judging both current and flu
ture market situations:
Market higher" means that
bulk of sales are measurably
higher.
Market strong means an up
ward trend in which some sales
have been at higher prices, but
no advance on bulk of sales.
Market steady means that
there are no changes in prices
paid from previous day or per-
iod.
Market weak" mans a down
ward trend in which some sales
have been made at lower prices,
but no decline on bulk of sales.
Market lower" means that
prices for bulk of sales are mea-
surably lower as compared with
previous day or period.
Market uneven" means that
there are substantially more than
the normal volume of sales out
side the quoted price trend.
Demand slow" means that
buyers are not active, but "just
looking"
Demand good" means that
buyers are actively buying at
present prices

Public on Buying
for Sugar, Tires
Dealers Claim
There No Cause
To Fear Shortage
Tire Prices May Rise,
But Supplies Adequate
To Meet All Demands

Entry of the United States into
the hoStilities in Korea and the
threat of a third World War, how
ever vague, has caused a rush on
items that were scarce during the
recent war, local retailers report.
Tires and sugar are the princi~
pal items affected by the current
buying spree, although there is
no immediate cause for alarm on
either commodity, according TO
the Storekeepers.
Warren Painter, operator of the
Redwood Self-Serye Market, re-
ported that $500 pounds of sugar
we're sold in his store from 5 p.
m. Friday to 5 p. m. Saturday.
This tremendous volume reflects
the jittery nerves of the house
wives who remember how diff
cult it was to obtain sugar during
the recent conflict.
Heavy Sale Monday
Edgar Lowry, manager of the
local Kroger store, stated that
there was considerable demand
for the large 25-pound bags of
sugar Monday morning. The rush
did not affect the five and ten
pound bags to any extent, he
added. The store sold more sugar
Monday morning than all day
Saturday, he recalled.
The Atlantic and Pacific Tea
/ Company store reports no notice
able increase in the sale of sugar
other than the natural jump
| caused by canning season.
All filling stations and auto
supply stores in Marysville re-
port a jump in tire sales. AL
have had to rush orders to the
wholesalers TO replenish their de-
pleted stocks.
Tires May Go Up
It is quite probable that the
price of tires will climb in the
near future. All dealers advise
that it would be wise to buy them
now if they will be needed in the
near future-due to this increase
and not to the war scare, they

The principal difference be-

Two Minor Accidents
Occur Over Fourth

Fourth of July weekend in
Union County was married only
by two minor accidents with no
one being injured in either of
them.
A 1941 Pontiac driven by Lii
liam Turner, "a, Marysville, and
a 194l Ford driven by Harold
Streng, "a, Marysville, was slight
ly damaged in an accident in
the fairgrounds at 9:l5 p. m.
Monday. Both cars were driven
away.
A 1899 White semi-truck was
badly damaged at 1890 p. m.
Monday when the driver, Frank
Hall, Middletown, became blind
ed by the lights of an oncoming
car and went into the ditch on
Route four north of town. The
truck overturned.

field harvester and blowing it
back on the field. This serves the
double purpose of getting it out
of the windrow that would
smother the second growth of
clover and also acts as fertilizer
when plowed under the follow
ing year.
Some Hay over-Ripe
Some of the ruined hay will
also possibly be used as bedding
for farm animals, Mr.. Green
eisen stated. AS things stand
now at least 10 percent of what
had been an excellent hay crop
has been lost and much more
damaged, the county agent re-
ported.
Even the hay that is not down
has become overripe in many
cases and has lost some of its
protein content" he added.
"The corn has not been hurt
to any great degree" he stated,
although in some spots it may
be turning yellow from too much
water" He added that the
rains have been very scattered
and that many parts of the
county have not received too
much rainfall.
The weather from now on to
harvesting time will be the major
factor in determining the success
or failure of the corn and wheat
crops, the county agent stated.
Both should be equal to last year
if there is suitable weather dur
ing the remainder of the summer,
he added.
Wheat Looking Good
The wheat that came through
the winter in good shape is still
looking good, Mr.. Greeneisen
stated, and that, along with the
oats crop, will probably develop
well.
at is important that the farm
ers who are preparing to COM
bine check their wheat for mois-
ture content before going ahead"
he said. The should be sure that
it will be suitable for the ele-
vators before harvesting it, the
county agent added.
There will be no shortage of
storage room for grain here this
year." Mr. Greeneisen said. "The
new Ohio Grain elevators of Me-
chanicsburg, the Walton and
Case Company at Redwood, the
Farm Bureau, and other local
elevators will provide excellent
storage for the harvest in this
area, he added.

that have made it difficult for them to get in the fields.
Of the hay, that has been lost completely for feed

 Easing its story on Ring Lard ner's famous novel. The Big Town, Enterprise Studios has turned out delicious bit of satire on New York's revered institutions and GUS toms with radio comedian Henry Morgan in the dual role of male lead and off-stage commentator who spices the hilarious doings with some wryly humorous elaborations The framework of the movie is the trip to the big city which Ernie Finch (Morgan) and his wife (Vir- ginia .Grey) take to find suitable cosmopolitan and wealthy husband for her sister (Dona Drake), and then things happen.

 FEATURES TONIGHT

All the colorful action and mys- tery one associates with the water front after dark is said to be abundantly present in Paramount's new thriller, Waterfront at Mid- night" with William Gargan. Mary Beth Hughes, Richard Traves and Richard Crane, which arrives to- night at the goth Century Theatre.
 The film features Gargan in the kind of role in which he is most at home, man on the side of the law, He will be seen as police lieuten- ant, who. because he is no stranger to the waterfront, is re-assigned there to solve a murder. Gargan suspects the murder is the work of i Richard Travis, cold d-blooded racke- teer who virtually controls the waterfront and who forced Gar gan's demotion and transfer when the officer had started closing in on his nefarious activities. So Gar gan has this added personal reason for wanting to get the goods on Travis this time. Until he does, he knows there is little chance of cleaning up the waterfront.

TO TIDEWATER ROAD
 FEASIBLE: N0YEi

A road from Tulsequah to tide water in Taku Inlet is feasible, Col John R. Moves, head of the Alaska Road Commission, told the Cham Der of Commerce today. but Canada must make the first step if the road is to be built.
 Reporting to the Chamber on conferences he had had with Ca- nadian road officials in Vancouver. B.C.. he said they saw the advan- tages of constructing the road.
 Mining activity in the Tulsequah area is on the upswing, Colonel Moves said. and the need for a road to tidewater to make this highly nlinerlized area more accessible is seen by the Canadian road officials and heads of mining companies.
 Although he doesn't think it is reasonably possible to continue such road from tidewater to Juneau the colonel pointed out that the 25 miles from here to that point would be a short car-ferry run.
 With road to Tulsequah from tidewater, and proposed roads or roads under construction completed in Canada, Juneau would have a good connection by road-plus car ferry-to the Alaska Highway and the States.
 Colonel Moves has urged that the Canadian mining companies get their government behind them on the Taku road project and then in- form him, so he and other road officials would have something to work with in their effort to get a survey and a cost estimate of the proposed route made.
 He said he will make highway trip in June with the British Co., lumbia minister of public works to inspect Canadian and Alaskan roads. The trip will include stop in Juneau after travelling the Haines cutoff. and he suggested that the Chamber of Commerce arrange to have the Canadian road official flown over the proposed Taku route.
