important to all who want to be
sure that they are just right for
the weather as well as for the sea-
son. So look to the cOlors of ma
ture-green, blue, and hues of yell

that lend themselves to softness
during these warm days, such as
pastels. These colors are Subdued
and will not be too glaring or
even too daring as the brightest of
reds would be.
Often we think of our complex

that, too, is important. But you will
find that for the most part anyone

price drop to level off,
CattIe-Record cattle population Will sus-
tain increased slaughter and hold prices mucn
below last year. 80
Hogs-Due to reduced numbers on FARMS
prices are likely to hold much of recent gam.
Lambs-Nioderate rise in fed lamb prices
appears probable in next month or Two.
Wool-Boston prices hold close to loan
value for medium woods, moderately above
for finer grades. -
Wheat-Impounding in support programs.
damage to new CROP may bring minor spring
Feed Grains-Government will buy new
corn to offset effect of sales of off-grades.
FIaxseed-Price support may keep marKes
above recent lows.
Seeds-Good spring demand is probable
wherever moisture is ADEQUATE. -,
Feedstuffs-Spring increase in demand VIII
he small due to reduced hog and poultry
numbers. -,
Hay-Any further price rise will be small
even with severe weather.
Dairy Products-Moderate price decline Is
probable in next three months.
Eggs-FarmerS' plans to raise per cent
fewer chicks and light storage stocks indicate

PouItry-Fairly steady prices in near future

Potatoes-Plentiful old stock and increased

crease in arrivals when it is being
marketed in volume is likely to be
small.
LAMBS-Prices for lambs and
sheep probably will rise moderately
in the next month or two. Discounts
for heavy lambs may shrink fur
Their. Slaughter has continued sub
stantially heavier than last year, but,
if numbers on feed on January
were as small as reported, the sup
ply of fed lambs left for the March
and April market is likely to be
lighter than a year ago and below
recent volume.
WHEAT-Prices may show more
strength in early spring. Drouth
and dust storms are doing further
damage to winter wheat crop pros
poets. Over 500 million bushels are
impounded in the loan, purchase
agreement and government-owned
stocks. With prices much below the
loan value, selling pressure from
producers is likely to be light in
the next two months. Exports APP
pear to be better at recent low
prices. although some of the sales
are from government stocks.
Price gains are likely to be rather
small, however. Domestic and world
supplies are heavy and the carry
over at the end of the season will
be much larger than last year. On
January l, the four leading export
ing nations had about 500 million
bushels more wheat available for

THE DROP in the general level
of farm prices appears to be leveling
off with some products sharply
lower and few moderately higher
than year ago. A record large out
pouring from American farms and
smaller shipments abroad due to in
creased world production were
prominent influences in the decline.
Sales of major crops are past their
peaks and will be lighter until the
next harvest.
Meat animal supplies will remain
below the December-Janu vol
ume until next winter. Domestic
consumer demand will continue
strong and exports are likely to i'm
prove, according to the u. S. De-
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-03-01

CATTLE-The sharp decline in
prices due to the increase in market
supplies probably is. about COM
pleted. Steady to slightly higher
prices are probable for most grades
in the next two or three months.
Arrivals are likely to run little
smaller than in the last two months,
although they will continue sub
stantially larger than year ago.
Beef and veal slaughter has been
running about 20 per cent over last
year. but, due to the drop in hogs,
total meat supplies in the last month
have been little or no larger than
a year previous. That situation is
likely to continue. With incomes
slightly higher and retail prices for
beef Is to 20 per cent lower than
a year ago, consumers will be ready
and able to buy substantially more
beef than last year.
Stock cattle prices probably will
rise with the approach of the graz
ing season. Stock cows and little
cattle probably will advance most.
Any improvement in prices for fed
cattle will strengthen the market
for feeder cattle. Because of recent
heavy losses, however, buyers are
likely to be cautious. Any rise ia
feeder prices may be less than usual
during the spring season.
I
In spite of the increase in cattle
and calf slaughter last year, the
number on farms on January / was
estimated at SO million head more
than the record high year pre-
| vious. Of this increase, 4.6 million
were cattle kept primarily for beef.
Total numbers of such cattle were
80 per cent over the low point five
years ago. Hence, slaughter will
continue higher and, except for
seasonal variations, prices can not
be expected to regain much of then
recent losses.
HOGS-Prices may not go much
higher in the near future, but are
likely to hold recent gains fairly
well. Receipts have dropped abou
one-third from the early winte-
peak. Hogs from the fall pig crol
are starting to market, but the crol

QUESTION: Why is il that
Rachael was not buried in the
Double Cave" with the rest of
the Patriarchs and Matriarchs?
ANSWER; According to the
Bible, Rachael died a premature
death on the road to Ephrath and
Jacob buried her there. There is
still to be seen the Tomb of Ra-
chael. The Midrash claims that
she was buried there because it
was foreseen that the Israelites,
when driven to captivity along
the road, would need the inter-
cession of Rachael in their behalf.
According to the Midrash it was
her pleas in the days when the
Israelites were driven into captiv-
ity by Nebuzaradan that were lis
tened to when the Lord promised
the restoration of Israel.
