Garden Mulch
Stops Grit

A MULCH on garden plots will
eliminate the grit from spinach, LETT
tuce and other 1eafy crops. The sand
and dirt found on their leaves is
showered there by falling raindrops
which hit the ground and explode
much the same as bombs, throwing
water and soil into the air as high
as two feet. The mulch material,
whether it is straw, leaves, lawn
clippings, compost, peat moss or saw
dust, softens the force of the strik-
ing rain and stops the bombing ae-
tion. Thus, no soil particles are torn
loose and splattered over the plants.

been running about one-fifth great
er than during July-September last
year.
The lamb crop is moderately larg-
er than in 1851, and a smaller pro-
portion of the arrivals will be bought
for feeding and for breeding stock
than IN 1851, but slaughter supplies
probably will not become much
larger until early fall
WOOL Prices probably will be
steady to slightly higher IN the next
few months. The government loan
program probably will prevent fur
ther decline. New orders for goods
continue light, however, and mill
demand for wool is quiet, so that
any price Improvement is likely to
be slow.
WHEAT-Prices probably will be
steady to slightly lower in the next
month or SIX weeks unless spring
wheat crop prospects decline, but
are likely to advance later In the
year. Since 1888, the early season
low point has always occurred in
the June August period
With record harvest of 1860, 900
bushels of winter wheat IN full
swing, an enormous tonnage must
find a home IN July and August.
Since prices IN some markets are
already about 20 cents a bushel UNI
der the loan value, any further de-
cline is likely to be small If drouth
persists IN the spring wheat area,
prices may not go lower.
FEED GRAINS Price changes
in the next month or two are likely
to be irregular and uncertain. Har-
vest of the new crop may put pres
sure on oats and barley markets
unless crop prospects in the later
areas decline. Sales are not likely
to be heavy, however, since prices
are low enough to encourage pro-
ducers to hold for feeding or for
placing under government loan
FLAXSEED- Prices have worked
lower during the summer in a ma
iority of years but any decline this
year is likely to be small, due to
reduction in the carryover and pros
poets of light crop.
SEEDS - Certified alfalfa seed
production in 1851 was GA percent
larger than IN 1850 and nearly one
fifth of the total alfalfa seed crop
Certified red clover seed produc.
ton increased over 40 percent ir
1851, but was only about 3 percent
of the total crop.
DAIRY PRODUCTS Prices prob
ably will be steady to higher ovel
the next four or five months. Tn,
milk flow is starting to decline and
with bottled milk sales likely t
be fairly steady, the supply TO
manufacture will drop appreciably
Total milk production is runnin

slightly lower and fluid milk con-
sumption slightly higher than a
year ago.
Butter and cheese prices are down
to or only slightly above the sup
port level which will prevent fur
ther decline. Returns from milk and
butterfat over feed cost are running
slightly over last year and, except
ing 1948, the highest on record for
the corresponding season.
EGGS Prices for better grades
probably will advance 20 to 80 per-
cent in the next three or four
months. Production probably will
drop about as fast as usual. Layers
are being culIed at about the usual
rate in spite of extremely low prices
for hens. Flocks are not quite as
well fed as a year ago and produc-
ton per bird has dropped slightly
below last year. The early puIlet
crop probably is a little larger than
last year but probably viii not be
pushed into production as rapidly
as IN 1852. The late crop is substan-
tally smaller than last year. Lower
prices than in 1851 are bringing
small increase in egg consumption.
PoULTRY-Prices probably will
hold up better than usual during
the rest of summer and in early
fall Marketing of commercially
raised chickens probably viii drop
20 percent or more due to the de-
cline in chick placements in CONF
mercial broiler plants In the last
three months. The early crop Of
farm cockerels was rather heavy,
but the late crop was much smaller
than a year ago Commercial hatch-
ings in May were about, 20 percent
less than last year and June viii
show a still greater drop. Hence,
market supplies of farm chickens
probably viii show less than the
usual increase of 20 to 80 percent
from early July to September. Stor-
age stocks are comparatively heavy,
however.
POTATOES Prices probably will
be steady to moderately lower DUR
ing the summer. They probably will
average less than the former ceiling
level, but higher than for the 1851
crop. The last spring and summer
crops total about 10000 bushels
compared to 4s,5O0.O0O bushels last
year, and a 1941-50 average of 6O,-
100000 bushels, part of which was
bought by the government to sup
port prices. Trade reports indicate
a substantial increase IN acreage in
some late-pIanting areas.
FRUITS Sweet cherry prices are
sharply lower than last year due
to an increase of so percent In the
crop. The apple crop will be about
103, 100000 bushels, according to thu
National Apple institute, compared
with its estimate of 112.900,0O'

ECONOMIC FORCES underlying

demand for farm products hold on
a rather even keel. The steel strike
is causing Iayoffs IN some other in
dustries, but total industrial pro-
duction probably is only 6 to 2 per-
cent below the peak. Manufacturers
had untitled orders on April 30 for
500 SOC, 100000 of goods and new
orders continue to come IN at the
rate of $4,000. OOO. 600 $23, 600, OOO,-
600 month, so that aggregate pro
duction, employment and payrolls
will remain high in coming months
if they do not rise to new high
levels.
Inflationary forces have been dor
mant for months, with the general
level of wholesale prices working
lower very slowly. Controls over
consumer and housing credit have
been removed or eased, perhaps
because of political motives, and the
government is again borrowing
heavily from the banks to cover
the deficit, thus paving the way for
credit initiation. But, with the great
increase in productive capacity of
industry, which is not now fully
utilized, the output of civilian goods
probably will continue rather ade-
uuate for the demand and prevent
any strong upsurge IN prices.
CATTLE Steady to moderately
higher prices for choice and prime
cattle appear probable in the next
three or four months. Prices have
declined So to So a cwt. in the last
two months and are the lowest since
November, 1885, Arrivals of these
grades have increased recently, re-
flecting the relatively large NUM-
Der that have been on long feed.
Demand for beef seems to have
weakened more than can be ac-
counted for by hot weather and the
steel strike. But, with corn relative
~ scarce and high-priced, the num-
Der of cattle that will be fed fol
the late summer and fall market is
likely to be reduced. Hence, price:

lows.
Prices for lower grades of slaugh

may not occur until after earl,
August. Grass cattle are being mar
keted more actively in Texas an,

COMMENT.
NEW IRON?
lNrs. r. J. D.. Was1ainOton)

tMTS. =. y. O.s W0entn0f0nJ
I'd like to know from the lady
who stopped her ironing, to
write her dislikes for the indoor
dryer. just what there is about
the dryer that wears out the
clothes.
! have been using a gas dryer
for almost two years and would
not do without one. For ten
years OF our married life most
OF the clothes were dried out
side. When we talked about
getting the indoor dryer I want
ed no part of 1t. I was raised
to believe that all clothes should
be dried in the air and sunshine
and could not possibly believe
that they could be done other
wise.
I was forced into buying one.
Due to a muddy yard. when we
moved into our new home, the
saving Of time, not having to
wait for a good day and other
reasons too numerous to mem
ton, I finally got one. One fac
tor I cannot resist mentioning
is this: We are still using most
OF our linens, bath towels and
mats and other items, that had
been purchased or given to us
ten years before and after one
or two dryingst in the dryer they
began to look like new again.
II there are certain items I need
in a hurry it takes less than an
hour to put them in my washer
and dryer and they are ready
for use.
I would not give 1t up for any
thing in the world. Every time
I use 1t lately, I want to know
what the lady who disliked her
dryer found to make them wear
out. It does nothing more than
putting them in a revolving oven
and tumble them about until
dry. I can find nothing to wear
them out. Furthermore, I'm
still using the same linens and
hey show no signs of wearing
out.
I am in need of a new iron. I
would like to hear relative mer-
It's OF them from readers. I
there is one iron
where the heating unit is in the
ron and that no cord is neces-
sary. 1t is the cord that keeps
getting in my way even when I
use one Of those gadgets that is
supposed to keep the cords out |
If the way. I'm also thinking of |
