sonal peaks.
Wool-Light stocks. strong foreign markets,
give favorable outlook.
Wheat-Major trend probably will be down.
ward until harvest unless crop prospect fades.
Feed Grans-Farm stocks are larger, rate
of usage running lower than year ago.
FlaXseed-Small Free" stocks could cause
tight market before harvest.
Seeds-Alfalfa and clover seed carryovers
probably have been reduced
Feedstuffs-Oil meal supplies for next
months probably will be about 10 per cent
less than last year.
Hay-Lower price trend is probable in next
3 months.
Dairy Observation-Disclosures prices will
average about 10 per cent below last year,
USDA says.
Eggs-Hieh production rate and large pull

levels.
Chickens-Continued heavy supplies will
hold prices down on low level

Potatoes-Reduced acreage gives favorable

Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-05-01

and offerings from the last clip are
tapering off. Trade estimates place
the April 1 supply in the United
States, including the new clip, at
1877 million pounds, clean basis,
against 239 million pounds year ago
and 228 million pounds two years
ago.
Utilization in 1853 totaled 800 mil
lion pounds. Because of the rise in
parity, loan value on the 1853 clip
probably will reflect an average of
about $50 cents a pound, grease
basis, instead of the 52.1 cents pre-
viously announced.
WHEAT-Prices at Chicago show
strong signs of having passed the
peak for this crop year. Fluctua-
tons may be wide with changes in
weather or war tension, but a trend
to moderately lower levels by har-
vest seems likely unless crop pros
poets show further serious shrink
age.
Heavy mid-April rains in parts of
the Southwest and good weather in
most other areas may have improved
the winter wheat crop promise over
the 678 million bushels forecast as
OF April l. Of course, weather may
turn predominantly unfavorable
again. Indicated reduction of 200
million. bushels in winter wheat be-
low last year and the intended cut
of "A per cent in spring wheat acre
age point to a new crop that won't
be much more than domestic and ex-
port needs.
A small new crop movement into
the loan would tighten free" stocks.
Hence, the decline below the loan
during harvest will be much smaller
than in 1853 and a recovery to the
loan redemption value will be likely
during the season.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices will
be about steady for butterfat and
weak for whole milk in the next
two months. April-September prices
for all milk will average about 10
per cent lower than a year pre-
vious, the us. Department of Agri-
culture says. MiIk-feed and butter
fat-feed price ratios will be 10 to 20
per cent below average.
EGGS - Prices will remain con-
siderably below 1858 levels. Laying
flocks are larger and the laying rate
is higher than year ago. Estimated
production in January-March was
1892, 600 eases greater than in 1854

DEMAND FOR FARM products in
the next few months probably will
continue moderately below the levels
of year or two ago. Business ac-
tivity and employment are still set
ting down slowly from the boom
peak.
War tension over Indochina may
stimulate speculative demand for
farm products. Unless America be-
comes involved in military action,
however, the effect would be tenn
porary. Also, involvement would be
less inflationary on prices than Ko'
rea because of large stocks of farm
products and of armament now on
hand.
The drop in industrial employment
has halted the uptrend in farm la
Dor costs. The index of farm wage
rates on April l failed to show the
usual seasonal rise from Jan. and
was slightly lower than year ago.
CATTLE-Prices for all classes
and grades probably will stay near
recent levels in the next few weeks,
but upper grades will work moder-
ately higher during the summer and
middle and low grades will decline.
The seasonal price rise for fed
cattle to an early fall peak is likely
to be smaller and to be over sooner
than usual, because of prospective
large supplies. Grass cattle mar
keting will again be heavy next fall
and probably will include a larger
proportion of cows than in 1858.
However, stocker and feeder demand
is likely to be better and markets for
range cattle are unlikely to become
demoralized as they were in late
summer and fall last year.
HOGS-The major trend of prices
will be moderately higher until mid
summer, but will turn sharply lower
in the last four or five months of the
year. Prices are at present record
levels for the time of year because
of unusually light receipts. Holding
back gifts to increase breeding herds
| is adding to the shortage caused by
light production of fall pigs last year.
Arrivals will be still lighter in an
other month or two. In addition,
pork stocks in storage for summer
and early fall distribution are zoe
million pounds below the 5-yeaI
average.
LAMBS-Prices for fed lambs
probably have passed the peak fol
the season and spring lamb prices
are likely to turn downward in the
next month or six weeks. Quality
of fed lambs is declining as usual al
the approach of warm weather
Those showing yearling characters.
tics are discounted heavily. 1t seems
best to push lambs on feed to ar
early finish and to sell early spring
labs as fast as they reach gooc
weight and finish. Contracts fol
Montana yearling breeding ewes fol-
July delivery at $40 cwt. and feeder
lambs for fall delivery at $16-17 are
reported.
WOOL-Price prospects for tn,
next few months are favorable. De
mand for wool goods, although still
slow, is little better than 1T was
Much of the excess in inventories O
wool clothing has been sold to con
sumers. Mill demand for wool ha
picked up slightly.

Local Resident
Meets Edna In rs

Mrs. John Foster, Midway Pike.
who has just returned from a sew
eral weeks stay in Wolfeville,
Nova Scotia, has brought with her
a tale that has caused great in
tereSt among her friends. Mrs.
Foster, who was staying at Evan
galine Inn, went through "Hurri-
cane Edna" when it visited Nova
Scotia.
Electric service was disrupted
all night when Edna arrived in
the community; so many trees
were felled across the highway
that traffic could not pass through
town for about two days, and res
idents were, compelled to go to
bed by candlelght.
Mrs. Foster brought the follow
ing article from the Wolfeville
Acadian:
Hurricane Edna, with gales up
to 102 miles an hour, wrought
havoc and destruction on mainland
Nova Scotia, practically wiping
out the Annapolis Valleys bumper
apple crop and causing other pro-
perty damage totalling between
$5,000,000 and $6,000,O00.
Power services and telephone
communications were almost tot
ally disrupted by fallen trees and
power poles, leaving many sect
ions of the province isolated and
with no hope of normal conditions
being restored in some rural areas
for week.
Transportation was snarled as
main highways and back roads
were blocked. by uprooted trees
and other fallen debris left i'm the
wake of the storm. Most roads,
however, were open again by the
next day"

Limited Access
Issue Is Again
Ruled Unfair

In September. 1858, Judge James
+. Bell rendered a decision against
the Ohio Director of Highways in
which the state of Ohio was en-
joined against depriving property
owners along u. S. Route 40 of
access to the highway in portion
of Madison county.
The suit was filed by J. Frank
Rothwell on behalf of himself and
other property owners who felt
the classification of Route 40 as
limited access highway was an in
fringement on their rights.
In his decision, Judge Bell held
that an existing highway could be
designated as a limited access
highway only if the highway is es-
peCially designed for through traf-
fic. Judge Bell also held that the
equal protection claused of the
state and federal constitutions had
been violated by the Director in
that he did not treat all property
owners alike. Some owners were
deprived, some were not. None of
the owners along the south side
were deprived of their rights.
Yesterday, in a decision handed
down by the Second District Court
of Appeals, Judge Bells decision
was upheld when the appellate
court held that the highway di-
rector had denied the property
owners due process of law in that
there is no basis for declaring the
highway a limited access highway.
Ohio's Attorney General argued
that the state could use their po-
lice power in the matter, but ap-
parently there was no basis for
this argument.
Gerald A. Baynes represented
the plaintiff in the case.
The appellate opinion was writ
ten by Judge William c. Wiseman
and concurred in by Judge Roscoe
G. Hornbeck and Judge Fred J.
Miller.

County Schools
Need Tax Levies

Five Local School Districts in
Madison County have found it
necessary to submit tax levies to
the voters in their communities for
operating expenses at the election
on Tuesday, November 2.
The schools who are asking for
the levieS and the amounts are:
Deercreek, asking $50 mills; Fair
field and jefferson each, 2 mills;
Madison Local and Somerford, one
mill each.
According to recent laws passed
by the Ohio Legislature, School
Districts in Ohio must have tax
levy of at least ten mills for cur
rent operating expenses, in order
to receive the additional aid from
the State School Foundation pro-
gram, a county official stated.
Citizens of these districts are
asked by county officials to make
every effort to get out and vote
favorably on these levies, since
they stand to lose state monies in
case the levies do not carry.
Those who are close to the
school situation state that there
are ITO school districts in Ohio
submitting such leVieS as will be
on Madison County ballots this
fall. The average levy submitted
in city districts is 4.8 mills and
those for Local School Districts of
Ohio is 1853 mills, school officials
