indicates high winter market.
cept 1948. Demand for fluid milk
at prevailing retail prices has been
running slightly larger than year
ago, while milk production is
slightly lower. Consumption Of
butter is lower than a year ago,
partly due to increasing oleo COM
petition. However, the milk and
cream supply reaching creameries
is lower than last year and storage
stocks of butter are no longer than
at this time last season when they
become quite short in late winter.
EGGS - Prices, currently are
about 10 cents dozen below the
August November average level in
1851. They probably will continue
to rise until early fall. Returns
over feed cost may increase moder-
ately. Since the early pullet crop
was large, production may round
the low point in the next 80 days,
but any increase before December
will be small.
POULTRY-Prices are likely to
work 5 to 10 percent lower in the
next three months, if they follow
the usual course at that season.
Supplies of farm chickens will rise
to peak in September or October.
POTATOES The price outlook
for the crop year appears quite
strong unless weather turns un-
usually favorable for the late crop.
Severe drouth in some heavy pro-
ducing states probably has reduced
crop prospects since July when
an outturn only percent over last
year was indicated. Consumer de-
mand has been good at prevailing
high prices SO that the summer crop
will be largely out Of the way when
the fall movement begins. With
more storage space available than
ever before, a light crop and mem-
ory of the high prices last spring,
pressure to sell in early fall is
likely to be much lighter than usual.
However, a little price weakness is
probable at that time. Current
prices are the highest on record at
this season. Prices paid to farmers
declined from August to October
in each of the last 16 years except
In 1851. The average decline was
about is percent.
FRUITS Prices are mostly high
er than a year ago. Total produce
tion prospects probably are 10 per-
cent or more below last year. Can
merry demand for some fruits is mar
row due to heavy carryover and
reduced military needs. To help
support prices, the government has
bought or is offering to buy Craven
stein apples, Bartlett pears, canned
peaches and canned red sour cher
ries for the school lunch program.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-08-15

sharply and will continue to di-
minish as harvest comes to close.
Placement under loan has been
fairly heavy. Once the crop is in
storage, sales by growers are likely
to be light until prices are near
the loan redemption value. If
prices do not reach that level by
early January, further large amounts
of free" wheat are likely to be
placed under loan.
Present indications are that prices
will not advance as much or aver
age quite as high as last season. The
domestic supply is about 120 million
bushels larger than last season, and,
with good crops elsewhere, export
prospects appear considerably
poorer, so that carryover may be
increased $50 to 200 million bushels.
FEED GRAINS Prices probably
will be steady to higher while
drouth conditions prevail. Corn
prices may weaken temporarily
when picking the new crop begins.
FLAXSEED-The total July /
carryover was 112 million bushels
compared with 123 million bushels
last year. Adding the new crop of
28.3 million bushels, the total sup
ply will be about 1916 million bushels
compared with about 46.1 million
bushels a year ago and disappear
ance of about 34.9 million bushels
in the past season. The recent in
crease in the linseed meal ceiling
was equal to about to 8 cents a
bushel on the price of flaxseed.
Prices probably will be mostly
steady to higher after late August.
SEEDS S-Drouth has cut the tim
othy and red top crops, but pros
poets for alfalfa and clovers still
appear favorable. The red top crop
is smallest on record and prices are
about 20 percent over last seasons
average. In spite of the approach
ing new crop movement, prices for
most other seeds have shown only
slight weakness.
FEEDSTUFFS - Drouth has
strengthened demand for byproduct
feeds. If damage in the cotton and
southern soybean belts continues
or spreads, the outlook for new
crop oilmea1s will be strong. The
linseed meal ceiling has been raised
81 to $5 ton and other oil meal
ceilings may be increased.
HAY - Slowly strengthening
prices are probable in late fall and
early winter, especially if drouth
continues in southern areas or
spreads. With hay supplies short
and disaster loans for feed and hay
purchases available in drouth areas,
demand is likely to be active.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices for
milk and butterfat probably will
rise at about the normal seasonal
rate in the next three or four
months and hold on higher level
/. than a year previous. Returns over
feed cost probably will continue
about as large as last year and
greater than in any other year ex-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-08-15

DEMAND FOR farm products
will be strengthened by improving
business activity in the next few
months. Industrial production as
measured by the Federal Reserve
Board index, which dropped to
about 1913 during the steel strike
in July, probably will rise to 220
to 225 by early 1858 compared with
221 in the first quarter of 1852.
Construction activity will continue
at high level. The rise in steel
wages probably will be followed
by increases in many other in
dustries which will boost total
consumer income.
The farm price outlook for fall
and winter has been strengthened
also by drouth. Early July pros
poets were for the second largest
crop on record. With drouth reach
ing the disaster stage in nine states,
national production may have al
ready been cut or 5 percent below
early expectation.
The rise in prices for farm
products from these changes is
likely to be moderate. Prices are
likely to remain below the all-time
peak reached early in 1851.
CATTLE - Supplies of better
grades have continued heavy, but
probably will decline enough to
cause moderate price rise in early
fall. The normal seasonal trend is
upward until September on choice
grades and until October on prime.
With numbers on feed on July the
largest for any postwar year, prices
may not rise much until the bulk of
the supply has gone to market.
Prices for lower grades probably
will decline in the next two or
three months as marketing of grass
cattle expands. Severity of the de-
cline will depend greatly on the ex-
tent of drouth liquidation. Slaugh-
ter of cattle in recent weeks has
been running consistently larger
than a year ago, but it remains low
compared with numbers on farms.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
are likely to be steady to weak if
drouth damage continues. With 10
to IL percent more cattle in the
West than year ago and dry
weather reducing range feed, offer
ings are likely to be 10 to Is per
cent greater than in 1851. Removal
of the ban on imports from Mexico.
likely to take place Sept. /, prob
ably will add about 100000 head to
the total supply in the next IL
months. Demand will depen d
greatly on prospects for the corn
crop and for fall forage but is un-
likely to absorb the offerings ex-
cept at prices substantially lower
than in 1851.
HOGS Prices probably will start
the autumn decline in the next
month or six weeks. Prices have
reached the highest level in two
years due to a seasonally light run
aggravated by the difficulty Of
marketing due to- the outbreak Of
vascular exanthema. Increases Of

Two-VehicIe Bus|ine
Gives GreenbeIt Profit
After 7 Firms Failure

Greenbelt's city-operated bus
line has shown a $4,000 profit
in its first year of business.
That's something neither of the
two transit companies which op-
Grated the line previously. were
able to do.
Greenbelt City Manager Charles
T. Mcdonald said revenue on the
two-bus line in its first year has
amounted to $1,000, compared
with expenditures of $500. Ex-
penditures included $4,000 for
purchase of the two used buses
and $2,500 for insurance, licenses
and other fees.
Town Was Stranded.
Greenbelt started its public
transit venture on June 18, 1851
after it was left without public
transportation to Branchville. four
miles away. The nearest streetcar
and bus line into Washington is
lat Branchville.
Both Capital Transit Co. and
the Oriole Motor Coach Line OF
Maryland had been allowed to dis
continue service because they
claimed they were losing money
When citizens of the community
indignantly protested, the City
Council decided to go into the
public transportation business it.
self.
Fare Is Lower Now.
Mr.. Mcdonald noted that the
city charges only a 10-cent fare
compared to the IA cents for
merly charged by Capital Tran
sit.
The manager also said that
wages paid to Greenbelt bus
drivers are higher than the pre-
vailing wage for Capital Transit
drivers.
Mr.. Mcdonald said the city is
so pleased with the first year of
the lines operation that it plans
to purchase a new bus to augment
its services. At present buses
run from $50 to $50 am. and
from l to 7:30 pm, with no Sun
day operation.

Fairfax Boy Loses Thumb
In Dynamite Cap Mishap

A 4-year-old Fairfax County boy
yesterday had his thumb and
parts of two fingers blown off
while playing with a dynamite
cap.
The injured boy is James Jones,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence M
Jones of Route 5, Alexandria.
Fairfax County police said the
dynamite cap exploded when
James struck it with a hammer.
Police said the boys parents did
not know where he found the
cap, but thought it might have
come from a new house under
construction nearby.
James was admitted to Alexan-
dria Hospital in satisfactory con-
dition. His entire left thumb was
blown off and the index and
middle fingers of his left hand
were severed at the second joint.

Fairfax Board Is Firm
In Plan for Wing on
New Negro School

Members of the Fairfax County
School Board indicated last night
they plan to stand by their deci-
sion to put an elementary wing on
the proposed new Negro high
school at Merrifield.
The School Board has been
called to a joint meeting with the
Board of County Supervisors July
2 to discuss the colored high school
plan. The supervisors had adopted
Ia resolution disappearing an ele-
|mentary wing on the high school,
but that resolution was rescinded
SO the two boards could talk the
matter over.
"Are they going to run the
schools or are we?" asked Mrs.
Almorine Crowther, school board
member from the Mount Vernon
district.

Lee district, wanted to know if the
Joint meeting would mean an
other vote on the Negro high
school plan. He said he had not
heard of any new facts that would
lchange his mind.
