Beef May Resume
Price Recovery

Chicago - Supply and demand
factors for beef are returning to
a normal relationship after the
recent adjustment of cattle num-
bers in the feedlots, reports II. M.
Conway, director of research for
the National Live Stock Producer.
This reduction in cattle numbers
and the smaller supplies of hogs
and lambs to be marketed this
summer should result in a partial
recovery of some price losses
suffered by cattle feeders during
the past several months, continued
Conway. This prospect for reduced
meat supplies during the summer
if furthered because the remaining
supply of cattle in feedlots consists
largely of calves and light year.
lings which will be marketed in
late summer and early fall.
The late spring and early sum-
mer lamb crop is on a favorable
basis as compared with the past
winter. The extreme liquidation
of lambs last fall has resulted in
short supplies of fed lambs for
spring and early summer market.
Above average numbers of sows
and gifts are being retained and
summer pig production is expect
ed to be Slightly above normal.
This is contrasted with liquidation
of year ago when most farmers
were trying to get out of hogs.
Present supplies of hogs are being
marketed in an orderly fashion.
Even though hog numbers are
down slightly, a decline in lard
values and some demand shift to
beef has kept the increase in pre-
sent hog prices on a moderately
higher level.

Rented Lighting
May Be Used At
Fair Races Here

Night racing at the Madison
County Fair Ground this year
seemed probable after a meeting
of officials here but the manner in
which the track will be lighted is
still in doubt. One proposal SEEM
ed likely since equipment can be
rented to light the track since the
cost of permanent lighting equip
ment was considered excessive at
this time. One estimate came to
almost $4,000 for lighting mater
ial not including labor and other
costs.
At the same time, additional ex-
pense for the fair was added when
the Ohio Edison company stated
that it would be unable to furnish
transformers for electric facilities
as it has done in the past. Thus
the proper electrical equipment to
light the grounds will have to be
purchased in the near future, it
was said.

Scout-O-Rama Is
Seized uIed May Is
State Fair Ground
Scene Of 1853 Show

Those people planning to attend
the Scout-O-Rama will enjoy
look back of the scenes at some of
the interesting and Fantastic fig
ures related to the preparation for
this big show.
AS an example the booths will
be decorated by each group. This
required the purchase of 14.4OO
feet of flame-proof crepe paper
This would be almost 3 miles in
length if it was laid end to end.
The Explorers of Franklin Coun-
ty are erecting the wooden frame
works for the booths. These are
made of four inch strips of lum-
Der. 1t will require 14,25O lineal
feet of lumber to construct the
booths. 1t was necessary to bore
4,5OO holes in these boards. and it
will require 2,250 bolts to hold
them together. It will only take
two hours to set up the 125 booths
and only thirty minutes to take
them all down.
The ticket arrangements have
also been interesting. With over
10000 boys in 364 Scout Units
scattered over Ia Districts, it re-
quired the printing of 10000 tick
cts to insure good distribution and
a reasonable reserve
A special invitation was pre-
pared for all boys and girls be-
tween the ages of and Ia years.
1t required 100000 of these invi-
tations to take care of the needs
of the nine counties under the jur-
isdiction of the Central Ohio Coun-
Gil, Boy Scouts of America.
1t is estimated that over 1900
volunteer leaders, both men and
women, have directly assisted in
the preparation, planning and
training that has been necessary
to put on the big show.
The public Is invited to visit the
Scout-O-Rama on May is or 18th.
1t will be held at the Agriculture
and Horticulture Building at the
