Plain City And
MidwayPIayMar.5
Both County Teams
Favored To Win

Midway and Plain City are both
scheduled to play in their respec-
tive tournaments Wednesday night
March a. Plain City will meet
Iberia at the Otterbein gym at
Westerville. Midway will tangle
with Williamsport at Capital Uni
versity gym the same evening.
Both games start at 8 pm.
The two county teams are both
favored to win and a great many
boosters for each team will be on
hand for the events. According to
Plain City enthusiasts, the Scot
ties" have one of the finest teams
in the Westerville tourney and
should go on to the regional tour
ney at Springfield.
The Midway rooters are count
ing on Don Strasburg's valiant
team to come through in the strug-
gle with Williamsport. The Will
Transport aggregation is well rated
and may prove real threat to
Midway's favored chances of a
victory. Should Midway come
through, they will go to the reg
ional battle at Athens.

Short Supply May
Hold Meat Prices
Heavy Marketing And
Drought Conditions
Are Price Factors

Chicago: Short meat supplies
during late winter and early
spring may tend to hold retail
prices fairly steady" reports H.
M. Conway, director of research,
National Live Stock Producer.
THE recent break in cattle pric-
es caused heavy marketing of
partly-finished cattle and as a re-
suit will cut the normal supply of
well-finished beef reaching the
market in the spring months.
This upset in beef supplies,
coupled with the cyclical shortage
of pork and lamb will keep the
supplies of meat below that esti-
mated last fall when record num-
bers of cattle were placed in the
feed lots.
Another source of the medium
grades of beef-the wheat pas
lures of Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas-was curtailed last fall and
winter by drouth conditions. Cattle
being wintered there will not
reach the market in as large num-
bers as usual.
Increased competition for cat
tie between consumers wanting
meat and producers that want cat
tie for restocking pastures this
spring will remove another por-
ton of the two-way cattle from
the slaughter channels, depending
upon the price established by con-
sumer demand.
This meat demand is expected
to remain strong with the contin-
ued industrial activity and full en-
ployment in industry"
