VALLEY SOCIAL WHIRL
By Marguerite Hunter-Phone 8-1O50

1t is small wonder that our town
is fast becoming a city, what with
all the favorable publicity it has
received and is still receiving. A
certain popular Negro magazine
has been very generous with it's
praise of several of our outStand-
ing citizens and their enterprises.
Early in the year there was an
article about Mrs. Emma Gardner,
last month band leader Louis Jor-
dan was featured giving his recipe
for barbecued shrimp, which he
prepares at his Violet Drive resi-
dence when he is in the Valley
of the Sun. Two of our young
contractors, Jesse Jones and Rob
ert Williams are presented in the
current issue.
The Voguettes Social club en-
tertained with a cocktail and Po-
keno party last Sunday, May 70,
at the home of the club president,
Mrs. George H. Walden, 9O2 S.
3rd Ave. The predominately fem
mime party began at a pm. and
the hilarity ended around II pm,
with all of the guests declaring
that the Voguettes know how to
throw a party.
After three months in the SER
vice Pvt. Theodore L. Hunter came
home to visit his wife Doris and
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Hunter of 1888 E. Monroe St. Pvt.
Hunter flew from Ft. Devens,
Mass, to Los Angeles, where he
spent Saturday and Sunday with
his grandmother and uncle. He
came by train to Phoenix, ar
irving Monday. There is every in
dication that Theodore may follow
in the footsteps of his father Sgt.
Joseph Hunter, who successfully
made a career out of the army and
is now retired. Teddy" product

with a birthday party for her
friend Maggie Brooks, Saturday
night, May 19. About a dozen
couples enjoyed the tasty enchi-
ladas which were served. Mrs.
Brooks was very happy about her
lovely gifts. Mrs. Calvin lives on

There seems to be a surgical
cycle at this time. You know super
stition has it, that when one event
occurs, there will be three similar
events to complete the cycle. Mr..
Golden Swindall of 1921 E. Wash
ington ST., who suffered a broken
right arm a few months age, re-
turned to st. Joseph's last Friday,
May 18, with his arm in great pain.
He underwent surgery Thursday
morning Nav %. and at this time
his condition is favorable.
Mr.. Lester Turner was operated
on on May 21, and is mending
rapidly. He expects to go home
by the end of the week.
Another surgical patient is Mrs.

SUGAR Limits Use
Of Eggs

VI @SSS
Adding sugar or salt prevents
thickening in preparing eggs for
freezing at home, but limits the
use of eggs upon thawing.
In preparing whole eggs, simp-
ly break the eggs and mix the
yolks and whites together. Stirring
instead Of beating prevents air
bubbles but the mixture will re-
main thick after thawing.
For egg yolks, separate them
from the white, mixing two tea
spons of salt or 2 tablespoons of
sugar for each cup of yolks. Then
package, leaving head space, and
seal.

37,000,0 900 head. They numbered 49,
100000 head at the start of this year
and may be nearly 100000 by
JAN l, next.
In the departments view, forage
and feed best suited for use by sheep
would support 100000 head and
the markets would readily take the
wool and lambs from that number.
Based On past performance, the
stock sheep population is likely to
be boosted above 100000 head be-
fore expansion stops.
Pay TO Enlarge Floclxs
The situation indicates that it will
pay those who have the feed, facili-
ties and skill to enlarge sheep flocks
in the next two or three years. New
corners will have high investment
in breeding stock and their profits
will be pared by heavy depreciation
in the value of breeding stock as
production increases and prices work
lower.
Buying small flock and growing
into the business is a sounder pro-
cedure for most beginners than buy
ing into it full scale. Aged ewes still
good for one or two lamb crops will
take much less capital than year
lings or eve lambs.
Efforts 10 obtain big percent

and parasites. adequate but eco
nomical rations and. where feas-
IDLE. producing early lambs for

profits during the present period

become more difficult.

eager Jasons are hot after the
golden hoof and the golden
fleece. Reports from all areas
have indicated strong demand
for sheep breeding stock this
year.
More Lambs. Less Slaughter
IN 1850, the lamb crop was Is, 522,-
600 head. Total slaughter Of lambs
and sheep reached 13,294,0O0 head
and flocks were increased 10000
head. While this years lamb crop
is $4,000 head larger than that of
1850, slaughter of sheep and lambs
promises to be 100000 to 100000
head smaller, so that numbers on
farms may be increased nearly
100000 head, this year.
While prices for lambs as well as
wool may already have passed their
best levels, they probably will re-
main relatively high compared with
other farm products for the next two
or three years, so that the incentive
to expand hocks will continue
strong. The lamb crop will be larger
in 1852, but enough eve lambs prob
ably will be held back to expand
flocks to prevent much increase in
total slaughter.
AS flocks are built up and the
lamb crop increases for three
or four years. The proportion for
slaughter will rise. Prices will
lend TO fall relative TO other
farm products.
How high the sheep population
will 60 before the drop in relative
prices will check increases is con-
jectural. A year ago, the U. S. de
partment of agriculture recommend
ed that stock sheep be increased to
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-10-15


SHEEP FLOCKS probably will be
one of the best-paying farm enter
prises in the next few years. Sheep
numbers and lamb and wool pro-
duction are low, so that an over
supply is remote. Lambs have been
higher relative to other farm prod
ucts this year than in over 40 years.
In spite of its terrific fall since last
winter, wool is one of the few farm
products still selling above parity.
Only cattle and calves are higher
relative to parity than lambs and
wool.
The sheep population on farms
dropped from an 85-year record high
of 56,200,000 head on Jan. i, 1912,
to the lowest of record at 30,7O0,0O0
head on Jan. /, 1850 It increased
nearly 100000 last year. A large in
crease appears to be under way this
year, but the national flock on Jan.
|, 1852, will still be relatively small.
(See chart.)
This years lamb crop Of 49,
$4,000 head. up percent from
1850. compares with the all-time
high of 32.6l00o0 in ls4l. II was
second smallest in the record
which Goes back 70 1924.
Lamb prices on an annual basis
have been in an upward trend since
1882, with three years showing minor
setbacks. (See chart.) This years
average price to producers will be
near $32 a cwt., by far the highest
on record.
Times 1904 Level
Lamb prices this year will aver
age about 5.4 times the 1904 level
The index Of prices received bS
farmers for all farm products com
bined will average around 800 il

Lamb finishers as wen as breed
ing flock owners had unusually good
profits in the past year. The $12-rise
in fat lamb prices from last October
to March growing out of the rum
away advance in wool and the infla-
tionary rise in other commodities,
including meats, lined feeders wal
lets.
Using the cost of feeder lambs at
Omaha in September-De December,
1850, and fat lamb prices at Chicago
in December March and assuming
that 21s bushels Of corn and $50
pounds of alfalfa hay at farm prices
in the cornbelt were used in con-.
verting 60-lb. feeder into an 85-lb.
fat lamb, the gross margin averaged
$7.96 a head last year, compared
with $2.42 in the preceding season
and an average of about $40 head
in the previous six seasons. Costs
for purchasing and marketing, labor,
death loss, veterinary, interest, and
any other feeds and the value of
the manure were ignored in the cali
culations.

with $2.42 in the preceding season
and an average of about $40 head
in the previous six seasons. Costs
for purchasing and marketing, labor,
death loss, veterinary, interest, and
any other feeds and the value of
the manure were ignored in the cal
culations.
Costs Greater
This year, feeder lambs cost So to
81 a cwt. more than last year. Corn
prices probably will average is to
20 cents a bushel higher. Changes
in hay prices from last year will
vary widely in different sections,
depending on the change in the
local supply, but, in general, are
likely to average slightly higher
than in the past season.
Allowing $3.50 for the cost Of
a 60-lb. feeder lamb. $4.25 for
the 21a bushels of corn and $l.75
for the $50 pounds Of hay. the
combined cost of the feeder and
feed will be about $3.50. To pro-
vide gross margin of $3.50 a
head. which is near the average
of recent years. the s5-lb. lamb
will have TO sell for about $28
head. or $33.35 cwt.
Currently, Chicago prices aver
age about $31 cwt. Due to the drop
in receipts later on, better finish
on the feedlot lambs, the rise in
pelt values as wool lengthens and,
perhaps, some recovery in wool
prices, lamb prices probably will
tend to advance enough to give fin
ishers somewhere near a normal
margin. The usual rise in lamb prices
from October to March is about 10
percent. Last year, they advanced
about 40 percent.
Possible Ceilings
OPS is planning to revise the cell
ings on dressed lamb and is consid-
ing an overriding ceiling on lambs
on the hoof, that is, a top price at
each market above which no lamb
could legally be sold. Such a ceiling
would have to meet the legal mimi
mum which is go percent of the price
on May 10, 1851.
For Chicago, 90 percent Of the May
10 top price would be about $32. 40.
In terms of average prices for all
grades at the farm, the minimum is
$29.20 a cwt. The actual average
farm price on Sept. is was $29.8
OPS could make much trouble fol
lamb finishers if an overriding cell
ing were placed at the minimum
permitted level with no allowance
for a normal seasonal rise.
It will be well for finishers Il
avoid further increase in purchase
costs, to keep down feed costs as fal
as is consistent with good gains, Il
take every practical step to reduce
death losses, to feed out to good blu
not excessive finish weight and Il

Judge Is Reluctant
As He Fines Naval
Doctor in Traffic Case

This is the most unpleasant
duty I have ever had to perform, -
Trial Magistrate James r. Miller

Two Charged After Bonfire
lgnites, Damages ; Homes

Two men have been charged
with leaving a bonfire unattended
in connection with a blaze Tues
day which enveloped and virtually
destroyed three homes in the

Silver Spring.
Warrants sworn out by Mont
gomery County Fire Marshal
Charles H. Howe. jr.. were served

branches from some trees they
had been hired to cut down. They
left the fire smoldering. he added,
and Tuesdays strong winds
whipped it up again, igniting
nearby brush and setting the
three homes ablaze.
