FOR EXAMPLE

A person living in the east area would call
st. Paul and Minneapolis areas, as well as
the northeast and southeast areas with no
toll charge. However, the user would pay TO
talk TO telephones in the non-adjacent north,
northwest, southwest and south areas.

The recent order of the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission provides for
new telephone service plan for the Twin
Cities to be placed in effect late in 1854.
Under this plan, more than $500 of the
present inter-city toll charges will be elm
mated and customers will dial or make their
inter-city calls directly, without going
through long distance operator.
The new plan is similar to other telephone
service arrangements now being used in
many large centers of population, such as
Chicago, st. Louis, Cleveland, and Mil
waukee, and is designed to meet the rapidly
expanding telephone requirements of the
Twin City metropolitan area.
HOW IT WILL WORK
The 500 square mile area now served by the
ST. Paul and Minneapolis telephone ex-
changes will be divided into two primary
and seven suburban areas. The two primary
areas comprise territory somewhat larger
than the corporate limits of the Twin Cities,
and the suburban areas are shown by the
shaded portion of the map.
Telephone users located in the ST. Paul
and Minneapolis primary areas will be able
to call and be called by all of the telephones
in the entire 500 square mile area without
toll charge
Those who live in any of the suburban
areas will be able to call without toll charge
all of the telephones in the st. Paul and
Minneapolis primary areas. They will also

REDUCTIONS IN LONG DISTANCE
RATES TO SOME NEARBY POINTS

At present, all long distance calls are meas
ured from a central point located in the
Midway area. Under the new plan, long
distance calls would be measured from a
centrally located point in each area.

SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

city toll charges will be elm
inofed.

service through direct diolins OF
intef-eisy coils.

Markets at a GIonce

Demand-Business dip won't cause much
shrinkage in consumer demand for farm prod
ucts
CattIe-Slight declining trend in choice cat
tie prices probably will continue well into
spring.
Hogs-Nfost profitable hog-corn ratio in
nearly five years will spur larger production.
Lambs-Prices at Chicago advanced from
February to April in II of the last 20 years.
Wool-Prices probably will stay near recent
levels.
wheat-"Free" stocks appear to be less than
requirements for rest of season.
Feed Grains-Placement of under loan
probably will bring price rise later.
FIaxseed-"Sman Free stocks will tend to
maintain prices.
Seeds-Signs point to active spring trade,
Feedstuffs-Prices probably will rise slightly
in next two months.
Hay-Drouth emergency buying is less &C
tive. 80
Dairy Products-Price support probably win
be lower after March 81.
Eggs-Heavy consumption probably VIII holo
spring prices near last years level.
BroiIers-Prices may improve slightly in
near future but margins will remain quite
small.
Turkeys-Breeders have Z per cent fewer
heavy-type and 40 per cent more light-type
birds than a year ago.
POtatoes-Cut of one-fifth in early spring
acreage may sustain old crop prices.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-02-15

gain of 81 to So cwt. since last fall.
Spring trade is expected to be quite
active. Price relationships will tend
to shift some buying from clovers to
alfalfa seed. Seed oats, barley and
soybeans are in demand to plant on
acres diverted from wheat, corn and
cotton.
DAIRY PRODUCTS = Prices for
milk for fluid use will downtrend
during the rapid production increase
in the next four months. Manufac-
turing milk and butterfat will con-
tinue near present support levels
until late March. Indications are that
supports will be lower after March
81. Since the government is now
obliged to buy around one-third of
the creamery butter and American
cheese being produced, it is evident
that present supports are higher
than necessary to maintain an ade-
quate supply" That is the yardsticlk
the law requires the Secretary of
Agriculture to use in deciding the
support level
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-02-15

EGGS-Prices will show a little
weakness in the next month or two,
but the spring average may be near
ly as high as the record March-May
level in 1858. Production will be 2 to
8 per cent greater than last year,
but consumption also is larger. Sup
plies available for storage as shell
eggs probably will be only slightly
larger than last year. Returns over
feed cost will be quite attractive.
Growers probably will raise substan-
tally more pullets than in 1853, so
that increased production may carry
egg prices to lower levels a year
hence.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-02-15

1ightest in years and about 126 mil
lion pounds are governmental
or under loan. However, the govern
ment is offering to sell at loan value
to per cent over so that prices are
unlikely to go up much.
WHEAT = Prices may hesitate
temporarily, but a further rise is
probable during the spring. Govern
ment- owned and loan stocks exceed
the probable carryover so that a
price rise that will permit redemp-
ton of some of the loan stocks, espe-
cially hard winter and northern
spring wheat, appears necessary. A
winter wheat crop scare will con-
tribute to market strength unless
good rains are received in the next
few weeks.
January stocks totaled 1882 mil
lion bushels, up 226 million bushels
from year ago, but around 900
million bushels are impounded in
the support program. Even if ex-
ports are light, combined milling,
feed, seed and export requirements
in the next six months probably will
exceed the ''free" supply. In addi-
ton, some 'free" wheat will be
needed for working stocks at the
end of the season. With reduced
acreage and widespread shortage
of moisture in both the hard winter
and soft winter wheat states, new
crop worries may soon start.
FEED GRAINS-Prices probably
will work higher in the next two OF
three months. Combined stocks o.
corn, oats, barley and grain sor.
ghums on January l were 94.8 mil
lion tons against 90.8 million tons {
year previous. Apparent net disap-
pearance was $50 million tons from
January l to the end of the croI
season in 1858. However, movement
of corn into the loan will be heavy
at present prices. About "a to 25 mil
lion tons of feed grains are ikel,
to be tied up in governments
and loan stocks by the May 8
deadline for corn loans.
FLAXSEED-Prices probably will
fluctuate near recent levels. Stock
on January l were 34.7 million bush
els against 1853 million year age
Allowing for seed and the amour
under loan by January 81, ''free
stocks probably provide only a mar
row margin over commercial need
for the rest of the crop year.
SEEDS = Major hay and gras
seeds are likely to retain their pric

CONSUMER DEMAND for farm

SONOOMEft DEMAINO 1Or farm
products won't shrink much in the
next year, if views of economists and
business and government leaders are
correct. Spendable income remains
slightly higher than year ago. Esti-
mated sales of food and apparel
stores last November December
were only per cent lower than a
year previous.
CATTLE-Prices for choice cattle
show slight declining tendency
which is likely to persist well into
the spring months. Strictly prime
long-fed cattle are still holding up
well because of diminishing arriv-
ais but probably will work some
what lower by late spring.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
will be steady to higher in the next
two or three months. Thin cattle will
show greatest price gains, especially
in areas where spring grazing is
good. Feeder cattle prices are 81 to
SIS a cwt. over last years low. They
are about in line with present levels
of feed costs and fat cattle after al
lowing for a normal finishing mar
gin per head. They will pay out well
if prices for fat cattle in August
October average as high as last year,
as they seem likely to do.
HOGS - Prices are the second
highest they have ever been at this
season. They will fluctuate rather
violently on relatively high level
in the near future. They may make
new highs for the year by a small
margin, but some setback is likely
in April or May when fall pigs move
freely.
The hog-corn price ratio is the
most profitable in nearly five years.
Hogs are being fed to slightly heavi-
er weights and premiums for choice
meat-type hogs over the fat-type
have increased. Profits from hogs
will round the peak in the next six
months, then work to a substantially
lower level year or two later.
LAMBS = Prices probably will
work somewhat higher in the next
two or three months. At Chicago
prices have averaged higher in Apri,
than in February in II of the last
20 years. Supplies of fed lambs will
be slightly smaller than last year
While some storm losses occurred ir
California, the early spring lamt
crop appears to be about the same a.
in 1858. Prices averaged about $23.6
cwt. at Chicago in March May
last year compared with the presen
level of around $40. Spring market
for hogs and cattle will average high
er than in 1858.
WOOL-Prices are holding at LOAF
values to slightly higher. The LOAF
will minimize market pressure from
the new clip. Mill buying has in
creased, suggesting that mill utiliza
ton, which dropped in November t.
the lowest level for that month sine
1884, may be near bottom. Foreigl
markets also report more American
buying than at any previous tim
this season. Stocks on hand are tn
