First Snow Makes
Driving Hazardous

Buttons first real snowfall of the
season provided a wintry setting for
the community Tuesday, after a
three-inch blanket had fallen here
from shortly before midnight Mon
day until about 9 a. m. Tuesday.
Travel by automobile, however,
was hazardous, for the wet snow
quickly packed into a treacherous
glaze on highways. Automobiles for
the most part were taking it easy,
and no accidents of serious conse-
quence were reported.
At the same time, the clinging
snowfall made a beautiful winter
scene as it clung to trees and bush
es, and capped roofs of houses with
white covering.

to one below zero on Nov. 80, 1929.
Heaviest November snowfall in his
tory occurred in 1882, when there
was total of 14.5 inches. In No
vember, 1912, there was no snow,
and this years lack of snow almost
equalled that record.
November precipitation has varied
from IA inch in 1904 to SCI inches
in 1897.
November, 1861, was the coldest
on record, when a mean of 34.S was
established.

Thousands Once Nazis'
Regain Austria Rights
BY the Associated Press

VIENNA, Austria, July 19.-The
Austrian Parliament voted last
night to restore property and civil
rights and give other benefits to
thousands of former Nazis. The
legislators approved the three
laws embodying the changes de-
spite protests of international
Jewish leaders.
The laws will:
Give back property and civil
rights to $4,000 former non-com-
missioned officers and Nazis up to
the rank of cell leader; return
property to 5000 major Nazi Of
tenders who still will be without
civil rights, and lift a three-year-
old freeze on advancement and
pay increases for 10000 public
officials who were minor Nazis.
Jewish leaders who visited Par
lament yesterday in a vain at
tempt to hold up action on the
bills expressed hope that the
United States as one Of the four
occupying powers would veto the
laws.
Parliament also approved four
laws to aid former victims of
Naziism. One provided payment
Of 43l schillings ($16.55) for each
month the victims were in con-
centration camps. This would be

Packaged Desiccant
Supplies One Answer
To Moisture Problem
By D. M. Derwin

There was a time that one just
had to live with the problem OF
mildew and musty odors during
humid weather. But today cor
rective action can be taken very
effectively and economically with
the aid Of a proven desiccant now
available. This desiccant removes
the excess moisture from the air
in room or closet. basement or at
tic.
Available in two SizeS-a r.
ounce bag for small rooms or
closets and a 50-ounce bag for
large rooms, attics and Easements.
This desiccant will absorb mois-
ture up to 100 per cent of its own
weight. 1t checks damage due to
dampness, prevents mold and mil
dew.
If the closet is your particular
problem, simply hang a 12-ounce
bag of this desiccant so that it is
about two feet from the floor. My
best experience has come from
tying a cord or heavy string to the
closet clothes bar and slipping the
moose at the other end over the
draw string top of the desiccant
bag.
In this manner. each six weeks,
when I check on the moisture alb
sorption, it's easy simply to reach
in and feel the desiccant bag. If
it is wet to the touch, slip it off
its moose, empty the bag into a
baking pan and bake it for an
hour in the oven at $50 degrees F.
It's hard to say how long this des-
iccant will last, since it can be
dried over and over. If your damp
ness is seasonal, use the desiccant
when you need it, then dry it out,
and replace it in its own moisture
vapor-proof jacket for safe stor-
age until next needed.

not come equipped with built-in
automatic defrosters. Many of
these refrigerator owners have
perhaps felt that automatic de-
frosting is nice, but with the
cost of a new refrigerator what it
is, it will have to wait some years
yet.
This same desiccant placed in
the refrigerator or freezer reduces
messy defrosting. The 12-ounce
bag is simply placed in the re-
frigerator and it takes hardly
more room than a pound of butter.
The desiccant absorbes the moiS-
ture that causes frosting.

Demand-Business boom Hntil 1nid-1s53,

Cattle-Stocker and feeder prices probably
are near bottom for season.
Hogs-Increasing supply probably win cause
further price dip.
Lambs-Prices probably will work upward
as supply declines.
W0ol-Support program and military goods

hay and forage seed crops.

FAIR ECONOMIC weather until
mid 1858 continues to be predicted
by most business forecasters. There
after, they expect clouds to appear,
bringing the possibility of at least
mild storms in 1854 and 1855.
Defense spending probably will
rise another 10 percent or more be-
fore peaking out next year, but busi-
ness spending probably is near its
top level now. Also housing con-
struction probably will soon begin
to slacken. Foreign trade probably
will continue to shrink. Signs of
business recession are already evi-
dent abroad.
AS usual, agriculture is likely to be
affected relatively early by any
weakening in the economic outlook
Supplies of farm products, particu-
larly foods, are plentiful Farm
prices are flexible while many farm
costs are relatively rigid The index
of prices received by farmers in Sep
tember was as low as at any time
since December, 1850, and percent
under year ago, while cost rates
We're up / percent.
CATTLE-Price changes probably
will be quite mixed in the next
month or two. Prices for top grades
lost about 81 in September instead
of showing seasonal strength Ar
rivals of such cattle have continued
heavy, but the supply of long feds
may begin to shrink soon and cause
a belate6 upturn.
The supply of medium and low
grades win be around the years peak
in the next month and prices for
such cattle probably viii continue
under pressure, which win be IN
creased by declining prices for pork.
Supplies during the fall and winter
probably viii continue larger than
last year due to the increase in cat
tie herds. Although slaughter OF
cattle and calves has increased IN the
last few months, it remains low com
pared with the supply ON farms.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
probably are near bottom They are
one-fourth to one-third under last
year. Buyers are cautious and trad
ing on the range is said to be light,
but movement of stockers and feed
ers into the cornbelt is running
larger than last year, with an In
crease in shipments both through
public markets and direct from the
range.

measure Of ease and convenience in
doing your farm work. This may be
considered part Of your 'srea1 in
come" And income in this form
isn't subject to income tax.
Realizing income IN the form Of
leisure and convenience of work may
be attractive to yOu-say slowing
down or cutting back your farming
program, or hiring more labor. Many
farm operators have reduced their
work load by installing labor saw
ing devices pressure water systems,
improved machinery and equipment,
etc. These often are ways of buy
ing" increased leisure and com
venience at the expense of money
income. The cost Of these conven-
fences can be deducted over a pc
riod of years as expense items. And
the money income you sacrifice
would have been subject to tax,
while the added comfort you gain
is not.
Farm Organization
Some aspects of the income tax
which have definite impact on farm
decisions are hard to do anything
about This is particularly true Of
the tendency to impose a tax on
changes In the organization of farm
resources.
Perhaps you're one of the many
farmers who bought a farm during
the SOS and are now in position to
increase the size of your farm. But
you may not be able to find addi-
tional land which is well located IN
respect to your present farm. One
solution would be to sell your farm
and buy a larger one. But in doing
so, you'll be subject to capital
gains" tax on the nflation-created
increase in land values.
There's not much you can do
about this. If you're to avoid the tax,
you're faced with the disadvantages
of continuing to farmsa unit you re-
gard as too small OF buying and
farming tract of land located else
where. You have to choose the
lesser of the two evils.
Suppose you wish to change the
type of your livestock enterprise II
you're dairy farmer and want to
change to beef breeding herd, you
face the prospect of paying tax
lat the capital gains rate1 on the
dairy animals you sell even though
you replace them with beef cows.
If you're on the cash basis, the
entire value of the animals sold viii
be subject to the capital gains tax
On the accrual basis, only the mas:
of the sale over inventory value Is
taxable. But this too can be con
siderable during a period Of rising
prices So the tax really amounts
to tax on changing the farm II
which your capital is held.
Again, there's little you can do Il
lessen the impact of these provi
sions. The tax means that If you're
to be justified in making the shift
the advantages Of changing to bee
cows must be greater than If ther,
were no tax.

B1 GILBERT GUSLER

feedIots win be filled only at low
prices. Last year, many farmers were
buying cattle at any price to use soft
corn. This years corn crop is of
fine quality and producers can store
it for government loan if high feed
er prices should make finishing OPP
erations look risky.
HOGS Prices probably viii de-
cline moderately m the next two
months before reaching their winter
low point. Slaughter is likely to in
crease about SO percent over recent
levels by December and January.
Increase in consumption and broad
ening storage demand, both of which
will require somewhat lower prices,
will be necessary to absorb the sup
ply.
In the last Is years the average
drop from October to December at
Chicago was about 81 cwt. The
change varied from an increase Of a
few cents to break of $3.50. Since
prices are already lower than year
ago, the hog crop is 9 percent smaller
and consumer incomes are higher
than last year. any further decline
is not likely to be severe.
LAMBS Prices probably have hit
bottom and can be expected to work
upward in the next few months.
Supplies are rounding the fall peak.
Slaughter in the last month has been
the largest for any like interval since
late in 1948.
WooL-Mostly steady prices are
probable. Mill buying of domestic
wool continues slow due to disap-
pointing call for goods and to the
fact that foreign wool prices are
now selling below the domestic wool
support level Increased placement
under support will prevent any siz-
able decline. Domestic woods must
be used in military goods so long as
their cost is below 10 percent of the
support level.
To raise foreign wool prices high
enough to make domestic woods at
tractive to mills at the support level,
U. S. Department of Agriculture of
ficials have suggested that an import
fee be imposed in addition to the
present tariff.
WF1EAT-Prices probably will adj
vance close to the loan value, at
least by early winter, if they hold
to the pattern set in the Is years the
loan program has been in opera
tion Big domestic and Canadian
supplies, large market stocks and
Disappointing export sales have kept
the market weak recently.
Strengthening factors are begin
ming to appear, however. Primary
receipts have been dropping for sew
eral weeks. Market stocks probably
are past the peak. The recent price
dip probably win stimulate impound-
ing under the loan program. Drouth
in the southwest is giving new seed
ings in that area poor start
FEED GRAINS After early No
vember, corn prices probably will
begin to strengthen and this win help
oats and barley prices. For those
who need to buy for the winter,
stocking up during weakness in the
near future appears advisable. How
ever, prices probably win not rise

as sharply during the winter as IN
each of the last two seasons.
FLAxSEED-Prices probably will
strengthen IN late fall and early VIM
ter. Offerings by growers will drop
sharply in the next two months.
Prices for grains and other OIL seeds
probably viii have some advance at
that time. Prices advanced from Oc-
tober to January in IL of the. last
13 seasons and were unchanged IN
one year due to ceiling.
SEEDS Smaller hay and forage
seed crops than last year continue
to be reported. Reductions of q per-
cent in sweet clover, So percent in
bronze grass and 36 percent in crested
wheat grass were reported recently.
Production of cover crop seeds, how
ever, is larger than in 1851 and sup
plies of hairy vetch, lupine and Aus
trian peas are much greater than re-
quirements.
HAY-Prices probably win adj
vance slightly in the next few
months. Prices are already rela-
lively high, but, nationally, supplies
are light. Building up winter sup
plies at this time by those who sti1
need to buy seems advisable. Those
who have surplus hay probably can
get more for it by waiting.
DAIRY PRODUCTS Steady to
slightly higher prices are probable
in the next two or three months. Pro-
duction probably will drop another
10 percent or more by early Decem-
ber. It is running slightly lower
than last year although consumer
demand is stronger. September
prices for fluid milk equalled the
previous record high for that month.
EGGS-Prices for fresh eggs prob
ably will hold up well in the next
month OF six weeks. They will re-
main lower than year ago, but,
due to the smaller number of late
pullets, they probably viii not de-
cline as sharply in early winter as
last year. BY Jan. / production may
be running slightly below a year
earlier. Returns over feed cost are
likely to be rather attractive in the
next six to eight months.
TURKEYS-Prices probably will
be steady to slightly higher as buy
ing for the holiday season expands.
and birds show better finish, but are
likely to remain below last years
level Selling the birds as they reach
prime finish rather than rushing or
delaying sales in hope of taking adj
vantage of price changes usually is
the best policy.
PoTATOES-Prices probably are
rounding the fall low point and are
likely to work moderately higher
after the remainder of the crop is
harvested and placed in storage.
With ample storage space available,
growers are unlikely to sell freely
below current levels. which are
