Markets al q Glance

Demand - Domestic and export demand
probably will hold near recent levels. but be-
low last year.
Cattie-Prospect of sharp price drop on bet
ter grades warrants continued early topping
out of droves.
Hogs-Survey indicates increases of 10 per-
cent in 1949 fall pig crop and percent in
1850 spring pig crop.
Lambs - Decreasing supply probably will
bring advancing prices during winter.
Notwithstanding foreign markets make do
nestle prices attractive to mills.
Wheat-1950 winter wheat crop prospect
nearly equals last years crop despite acre
age cut of is percent
Rye-Large market stocks Of low quality
give weak outlook.
Oats and Barley-Feeding demand Is re-
stricted by cheapness of corn.
Flaxsced-"Free" stocks appear about equal
to domestic needs.
Seeds-Total supply of six leading seeds is
6 percent below last year, l percent below
average.
Feedstuffs-Prices usually show weaker ten
dency in midwinter.
Hay-Selling of surplus hay in next month
or two appears advisable.
Dairy Products-Increasing production and
more DIVERSION from fluid markets will lower
prices for milk and butterfat.
Eggs-Government will support 1850 farm
prices at national average Of 81 cents com
pared with actual average Of As cents in 1919.
Paultry-Decreasing broiler chick purchases
will mean better prices by late winter and
early spring.
Potatoes-Late crop outturn proved to be
8 percent above average Price improvement
is likely to be neager.

each month and the late crop rs
now placed at 3 percent above aver
age. While prices for the better
grades probably will remain above
the support level, the liberal sup
ply is likely to spell only a meager
advance during the winter.
BEANS = The crop estimate was
boosted again to a record high of
21,554, 900 bags (uncleaned), about
8 percent over last year and nearly
80 percent above average. Greatest
increases over last year were III pea
or navy beans and pintos. The Great
Northern crop was down % per-
cent. Prices probably will continue
to lean heavily on the government
supports. Holding for the support
prices, using a government loan or
purchase agreement for protection,
appears advisable. u. S. l Pintos
are being quoted to the trade at
$7.25 per 100 pound bag f. o. b.
Colorado, and u. S. Small Reds at
81 to $7.O5 and u. S. Great North
ems at $3.50 f. o. b. Idaho shipping
points.

met strong competition from poultry.
Lighter supplies, smaller competi-
ton from other meats and improv-
ing pelt values will tend to push
prices upward during the next two
or three months.
WOOL-Steady to slightly higher
prices appear probable. Some re-
cent sales show minor advances.
Unsold stocks of domestic woods are
running low and, with foreign pri-

was retarding growth. Placing un-
sold stocks under loan or purchase
agreement before the program ends
on January 81 appears advisable.
FEED GRAINS-Prices probably
will show some weakness in the
next month or two, although they
may retain much of the late gain
and corn prices probably will reach
still higher levels later in the sea-
son.
FLAxSEED - Prices probably
will hold near the loan value. The
1949 crop estimate has been in
creased 6 percent to 43.7 million
bushels. Allowing for the amount
tied up in the support program, free
stocks appear to be about equal to
domestic needs for crushing and
seed.
SEEDS-Yields were above earlier
estimates and total production of
six major seeds-alfalfa, red clover,
alsike, sweet clover, lespedeza, and
timothy-was 8 percent above 1948
and 9 percent above average. In
Guiding the small carryover, total
supply is 6 percent larger than a
year ago but l percent below aver
age. Since most stocks are now held
by dealers and good spring demand
is expected, prices probably will be
mainly steady to firm in the next
few months.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Moderately
lower prices are probable, with the
amount of change likely to be gov
erned largely by government de-
cision on the support program.
Milk production now running
about 4 percent over last year and
the highest on record for the time
of year in spite of the reduced COW
population-probably will increase
10 per cent or more in the next
three months.
EGGS - Prices in 1850 are to be
supported by the government at q
national farm average of 81 cents
a dozen compared with the aver
age of as cents received by farmers
in 1949. Uncertainty over the gov
ernment's plans and supplies 20 to
Is percent larger than at the cor
responding time year earlier were
extremely depressing to prices ii
mid-December, especially at coun-
try points in areas where drying
plants with government contract:
were not operating. With supports
continued, although at a lower leve
than a year ago, prices probabl.
will recover part of the decline, thel
work somewhat lower again as tn
spring flood of eggs approaches, bu
are likely to remain above the Low
point of the December break.
POTATOES - Markets will tax
their next cue largely from the re
port of January stocks. The GRO
estimate has been revised upwar

Ground-to-Plane
Signals Needed
BY LOUIS C. TRUE, Secretar
Montana Flying Farmers Assn.

by LOUIS CT. TRUE, SecreJar
Montana Flying Farmers Assn.
NOW THAT THE SNOW has
started to fall and with last WIN
ter's snow blocked roads and starv-
ing livestock still fresh in our minds,
it seems sensible to prepare for an
other such winter and hope that the
preparation will be unnecessary.
In the event there is another Sc
we're winter and the plane becomes
the only means of transportation,
here is a suggestion that may be of
help. This is ground to air signals.
You will recall last winter that
many families which could have
been helped were not because COM
munications had broken down. In
at least one instance a plane was
waved down in not too good land
ing area because the waivers were
curious to see whether the pilot
could land and take off.
Such an experience could be elm
mated and help could be provided
quickly if good ground to air signals
were used.
The air map prepared by Frank
Wiley of the Montana Aeronautics
commission has quite few of these.
Among them are three signals
meaning, Require doctor, serious
injury; Require food and water, Re-
quire fuel and OIL"
Experience last year showed that
planes were. needed to deliver and
pick up mail or kilograms, take
pregnant women or seriously ill
persons to hospitals, deliver concen-
trated feed and hay to livestock. 1t
seems that in addition to the signals
already in the aeronautical map, at
least one more could be added. This
could be signal to land.
If the signal idea has any merit,
your secretary would be glad to
work out additional signals with the
assistance of the Montana Aeronau-
tics commission. These could be
published with instructions about
what to use for signals and how
large they should be. The Montana
Farmer -Stockman would be willing
to print them. The signals could be
copied by plane owners and the in
formation distributed in advance to
isolated areas. In emergencies they
could be dropped so the person in
distress could make you the correct
signal.
If the idea appeals to you, please
write me about additional signals.

speed only 5 to Z percent below the
peacetime high mark reached Is
months ago. The pickup which be-
gan in late summer is expected to
continue a few months longer.
Domestic demand for farm prod
ucts probably will hold near pres
ent levels, but below last year or
two years ago, with consumers tend
ing to spend more of their income
for industrial products and less for
food than in early 1949. Export buy
ing probably will remain weaker
than a year ago.
Broad demand for industrial
products probably will maintain
prices for most goods farmers buy.
Recent increases in capacity and
lower costs from new plants and
Improvements may lead to some
what lower prices in some lines to
obtain wider markets.
CATTLE-Prices for most of the
work downward during the next
two or three months. Good and
choice steers are now higher than
ever before at this time of year.
Close topping out during the fall
and placing many of the thin cattle
taken out in late summer and fall
on pasture and fall forage instead
of on full feed has held down the
supply of finished grades.
But, numbers of cattle now on
feed probably are larger than ever
before. With feed plentiful, the
movement of finished cattle to
market probably will increase.
Prices at Chicago declined 81 per
cwt. on choice steers and SIS on
good steers from December to Feb
ruary last season.
Since December prices this sea-
son were higher than a year ago,
the decline may be equally drastic,
but is likely to be spread out over
longer period. Prices for medium
and low grades may show some
weakness in midwinter but are like
1y to recover and show greater
strength than better grades in late
winter and spring. A continued
policy of early topping out of all
grades seems best.
Stocker and feeder prices prob
ably will weaken when prices for
slaughter grades decline but will
strengthen in late winter and spring
when early grazing demand begins
in the southwest
HOGS-Prices probably will adj
vance moderately in the next two
months. Receipts may pile up again
IN mid-January, but will drop SUBJ
stantially by March. Due to early
marketing, numbers of hogs over
months old on farms on Decembel
l were about the same as a yea
ago, in spite of an increase of l!
percent in last springs pig crop.
The 1949 fall pig crop which viii
start to market in late winter j
estimated at 10 percent larger thai
in 1948. Farmers plans indicate a
increase of percent in the 1876
spring pig crop. Prices in 1850 prob
ably will average substantially be
low 1949, but above recent lo1
levels.
LAMBS-Prices probably will &C
vance during the rest of the white

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ACT
THE ANTI-DISCRIMINATION Act recently !,

PnSnl VI oIeI places Where the tourist trade became one OF
the principal means of income, the local assembly thought it
would head off any possibility of seeing the last restige Of in
dividual freedom snatched from these islands. 1t has happen
ed time and again, could have happened here but for this new
bill. There is no question but that the anti-diScrimination bill
hits certain DELICATE and exposed nerves--neryes which could
not have been touched otherwise. But for that the bill would
easily 60 unnoticed.
JEAN DEVEAU, Writing from Saint Thomas, has a
lengthy article in the NEW YORK Of October 8, in
which a somewhat overall picture is presented. Perhaps the
most significant point made was that the ssternest opposition
to the law came from operators and members Of private
clubs The law requires that these clubs be registered,
and that their purpose be made clear, and an affidavit filed
that there is no discrimination in sales, rentals and the like in
which the clubs engage. Then the article goes on to point out
that the constitutionality 0. the act might be tested in court.
HI VERY FACT that certain people are sufficiently
aroused over the bill to test its constitutionaEty is proof
aplenty that these people, under the guiSe Of conducting pri-
vate clubs, were slowly but surely trying to bring about the
very type OF discrimination which the act is intended to head
Oft. Looking at the bill on its face there seems to be nothing
unconstitutional about it. If the legislature Of the Virgin Is
lands can require any hotel or tavern keeper to purchase a
license, then it can certainly require the submission Of an aE-
tidavit showing that some individual or group Of individuals
are not attempting to get around the law by organizing what
may, on its surface be a private" club. Finally, no individual
right is being taken away. The law does pot say that private
clubs may not be organized < carried on. So it is difficult to
see what these folks are so concerned about. IF there is the hon
est desire to organize and conduct private club, the law does
not prevent such steps, nor is it possible to read such an
Interpretation into it.
WE BELIEVE THAT the Legislative Assembly did a
&A3
, 1950-10-16

good job, and that such hay-
ing been done, it should rest
confident in that fact, and let
those who would Try to sneak
in discriminatory practices
know that there is no place for
such in the free and truly de-
mocratic Virgin Islands.

toric materials being taken out of
the White House.
A letter to every member of Con-

today. said that every State can
obtain something by paying for
handling and shipment. DiStribu-
ton of the souvenir materials will
be on "a non-partiSan. non-Sec-

The commission promised that
each White House memento would
be accompanied by a certificate,
metal plate or some other anthem
tication.
First choice will go to museums,
colleges. universities, churches,
libraries and patriotic and civic
groups. But the commissions let
ter also indicated that individuals
may get some souvenirs if they
can convince the commission and
the President the material will
not be used for profit.
1t is estimated nearly a million

off his feet. Mr.. Paonessa hauled
him back.
The Bell Aircraft Corp. then
dispatched Owen O. Niehaus, %,
and Joseph A. Cannon, 80. in a
helicopter.
The pontoon-equipped craft
landed on the water near the
woman but nosed over. The en-
CINE exploded. Mr.. Niehaus and
Mr.. Cannon were pitched into the
river.
Mr.. Niehaus and Mr.. Cannon
struggled back aboard. The hell

Shore rescuers twice tried I'M
successfully to get a rowboat to
them, then summoned another
helicopter.
The second helicopter arrived
lowered low enough to drop one
end of a rope ashore. then
dropped the other end to the
stranded pilots.
The rope then was used to pull
the rowboat to the wrecked hell
copter. First ashore were Mrs.
Buggy and Mr.. Niehaus. Mr.. Can
non made it in the second trip.
Mrs. Buggy was taken to st.
Mary's Hospital. where it was re-

Mr.. Buggy said their two chill
dren, aged and 7, vanished from
home briefly Saturday. but came
back later by themselves.
The husband, reached at home
exclaimed:
"Oh. my God, was she the
woman on the rock?"
He said he had just heard a
radio report of the incident.
Mr.. Buggy said his wife had dis

He added:
She never went out-I'm driv-

Of debts and all that. She's always
worry, worry. worry about the

Mr.. Buggy said. He added that
the incident of the missing chill
dren had upset his wife terribly.

Mr.. Buggy said.
How Mrs. Buggy got to the rock
was not determined. The bridge
approach from Goat Island to the
Three Sisters Islands had been
barricaded to the public.
