HAMILTON, Bermuda (GlobaD
The stage is all set for the long
awaited Bermuda heavyweight
boxing match between Cuba'S Nino
ValdeS and Berumda'S champ,
Jimmy Walls. The fight was ac-
tually set for Saturday, Nov. 27.
but due to the sudden illness of
.Valdes, it had to be postponed.
Preparations are going ahead now,
however, as Nialdes arrived here
safely few days ahead so that he
could bask in this lovely sunshine

Pageant Of Peace Gets
Big Lift From Gifts

Christmas is the season for
giving. and a number of organi-
cations here kicked in with do
nations of labor and material to
the Pageant of Peace.
For instance, lumber dealers
donated the planks and timbers
for the pageant on the Ellipse.
The Alexandria Iron Works
supplied the steel for the Ellipse
stage. The Virginia Roofing Co.
helped out with the overhead.
The Potomac Electric Power Co.
is donating lights. and the Gen
eral Electric Supply Co, is furn-
ishing the stage lighting.
The Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co. hauled the
pageant's tree. a 68-foot balsam.
to the Ellipse from a railroad
yard. The Maloney Concrete Co.
donated a solidified base for the
giant. The tree itself was a gift
of Michigan State College.
These are but few of the
pageant donors. Religious. civic.
school and embassy groups are
participating. So are countless
business and professional men.

The man. who is colored,
reported to authorities yesterday
that he wanted to be cured of
the narcotic habit. He told them,
they said, that he has been an
addict since 1912, except for a
brief time he had been hospital
lied after being sentenced for a
narcotic law violation. Recently,
he said he had been using IL
capsules of a narcotic daily.
AS a result of a commitment
order signed by Judge Alexander
Holtzoff of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia, the man is, to be sent to the
United States Public Health
Hospital at Lexington, KY. for
treatment.
Under District law, a narcotic
addict can be ordered committed
until cured. The law is designed
to enable narcotic addicts to be
committed, even though they are
not charged with any narcotic

Lewis Inspects New
Automatic Stoker for
Anthracite Heating

The anthracite industry dis
played new automatic stocking
equipment at the Commerce
Department yesterday and John
L. Lewis, United Mine Workers
president, went to look and to
approve.
His approval was based on the
fact 1t would help to sell more
of the miners product.
He didn't extend his approval
to the Republicans in power,
however. In answer to news
mems questions, he said that
unless the party shows more
achievements than it has shown
there will be- a change in 1856.
On Big Trailer.
The miners chief was shown
the exhibit by Lothian Teetor,
Assistant Secretary of Com
merce, and Arthur A. Schmidt,
director of the Anthracite Infor-
nation Bureau.
The exhibit, on 45-foot trailer
and called the "Anthracade,"
was displayed in connection with
a three day conference among
representatives of the hard coal
industry and of Government
agencies. The purpose was to
discuss possibilities of greater
economy in heating Government
buildings with anthracite and at
the same time stimulate employ
ment in the Pennsylvania coal
fields.
Quote Economy Figures.
The industry representatives
conceded Washington is on the
fringe of the hard coal market
ing area. But they asserted
householders could heat their
homes more economically with
hard coal burned in automatic
equipment. than with oil and
gas.
The hard coal is of the rice
size which retails at $l7.24 a
ton here against $3.50 a ton
used in hand-fred furnaces. On
the basis of ton per room per
heating season, for a six-room
house, the total cost would be
$103.44 for the rice size and
$151.20 for the nut size.
Estimates for heating six
room house with oil go UP to
$17040, and with gas are around
$3.50.
The anthracite people said the
equipment displayed could be
used efficiently in small Gov
eminent buildings such as post
offices.

Growers May Do Little Better,
Fimisbers Not Ouite So Well ON
Returns From Lambs
(-TT RFP
By GILBERT GUSLER, Market Amalyst

sheep has not been especially brisk,
but probably will get some encourage
ment from the wool production incen-
tive payment.
With little change likely in numbers
of stock sheep, the change in next
years lamb crop from this year will
depend greatly on the lambing per-
centage which might be less than the
record high of this year. However, any
decline is likely to be small unless
weather is extremely unfavorable dur
ing the lambing season.
Increase in Feeding
Slaughter supplies in the first four
or five months of 1855 will depend
greatly on the number of lambs and
sheep on feed on January 1. A small
increase in feeding over last year
seems rather likely.
Lamb finishers had greater than
usual profits last season. Feeder lambs
were laid in at an average cost of about
SIT cwt., Omaha basis. Cost of put
ting on 25-pound gain at Cornbelt
average farm prices for corn and al
falfa hay was about $50. Fat lambs
brought an average of slightly over
$50 cwt. in the December March fed
lamb season.
On the basis of those figures, finish
ers had gross margin of around So. 40
head for making 65-lb. feeder into
9O-lb. fat lamb compared with only
$113 calculated on the same basis in
the previous season and 1O-year av-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01

erage of about $3.50. From that gross
margin would have to come the cost
of labor, marketing, death loss and
overhead, reduced slightly by credits
for manure. Those net costs probably
run 81 to 81 head.
Feed Costs Higher
Feed costs may average slightly
higher this season. Corn and hay crops
are smaller. Much of the corn carry
over is owned or controlled by the gov
eminent and the larger pig crop viii
increase from utilization of corn. How
ever, any change in feed costs will be
small.
While the cost of producing fed
lamb will average higher this season,
prices for them next winter are likely
TO average slightly lower than last
winter. Supplies Of other meats will
be larger and their prices lower While
the increase will consist mainly of
pork, which is not especially competi-
tive with lamb, it will tend to lower
the general level of meat prices.
Earnings May Stabilize
Looking beyond next year, earnings
from lambs may stabilize near pres
ent levels. Heavy slaughter Of cattle
and calves and large commercial
broiler supplies will tend to hold down
lamb prices, although they will con-
tinue higher relative to cattle than
two or three years ago. Lamb pro-
duction may expand slightly because
of diversion of acreage from con-

castrating and docking were applied.
Identifying tags were placed on the
ears of the lambs.
Other activities in the sheep barn
classroom included selection of breed
ing stock, shearing, judging feeces and
judging fat lambs. Data for the college
research program was recorded and
evaluated.
When the laboratory work in sheep
production was completed, all students
agreed that that had been the most
Informative part of the course. They
realized the inadequacy of learning by
hearing. Learning by doing left a more
lasting impression.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01

THE PRINCIPLE of learning by
doing was put into actual practice
at Montana State College when students
in the sheep production class were
given the opportunity to put ''book
learnin' to practical use.
AS lambing time drew near for the
college flock, classes were adjourned
to the barns where rotating 24-hour
watch was kept. Under the supervision
of j. L. Van Horn and Art Hoversland
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01

trolled crops to pasture and hay, but it
will remain much below the levels of IL
to Is years ago.
Amount of the wool incentive pay
ment has not been announced but, at
most, it will not raise growers re-
turns from wool over Ito per cent of
parity. Currently, wool prices are
about go per, cent of parity. Hence, the
payment will give only weak boost
to sheep production.
Is this good time to start flock?
Costs of breeding stock are down,
hence, it is better time than If
there were general scramble to get
into sheep. Lamb prices in the next
few years probably will be near their
long-term average relative to prices
for other farm products. For those who
like sheep and who have the labor and
skill, sideline flock or larger one
probably will be moderately profitable.
If lamb prices should stabilize near
the levels of the last year or two, it
will still be possible to raise net earn
ings through lower costs. Some basic
things in low-coSt production of lambs
are:
1. A high percentage lamb crop OF
.fast-growing lambs. That requires care
full selection of ewes, flushing at mating
time, use of vigorous rams and close
attention at lambing time.
2. Breeding for early lambs where
feed and facilities permit and creep
feeding to get to market when prices
are high.
8. Docking and castrating lambs at
not over three weeks Of age to raise
market quality and avoid price dis
counts.
4. Providing long-season pastures to
reduce cost of feeding and labor.
S. Control of parasites and disease
by medication, clean quarters and ro-
tation of pastures to reduce death
losses and permit fast gains.
6. Using caution in buying feeder
lambs, taking them when markets are
glutted rather than when prices are
looming and buying native feeders
rather than westerns when the price
difference more than offsets the in
creased risk.
z. Grazing down the cost of feeders
where feasible, using stubble pastures
and cheap fall roughage.
8. Avoiding crowding too fast on FEED
and vaccinating for ''overeating dis
ease" if self-feeders are used.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-01

RETURNS TO producers from lambs
promise no major change in the year
ahead. Growers may do little better
but finishers are not likely to do quite
so well as last season.
Total market supplies of lambs may
be slightly larger. Other meats and
poultry will continue plentiful. Con-
sumner buying power probably will hold
near current levels. The general aver
age of lamb prices may not differ
greatly from that in the past year.
Production costs probably will aver
age about the same. Flock owners
will get slightly larger return from
wool through the production incentive
payment which will be reflected also
in pelt values and in prices for lambs.
This years lamb crop of 20,170,0 900
head was per cent larger than last
years in spite of drop of 2 per cent
in eve flocks. The percentage lamb
crop at "a was the highest on record.
The crop has increased in each of the
last four years, but this years was
only % million head more than at
the low in 1850 and was 12.4 million
less than the 1941 peak.
Smidgen More Lamb
Allowing for the increase in number
of consumers, they will have only a
smidgen more lamb on their plates
than in the last past three or four
years and considerably less than a
dozen years ago.
Slaughter under federal inspection
in June-August was about per cent
larger than last year. About half Of
the estimated increase of $4,000 in
this years lamb crop over last year
probably has already gone down the
dressing rails. Slaughter during the
rest of the year will depend partly on
weather and feed conditions.
Feed crop prospects in major lamb
growing areas were less favorable or
Sept. than year ago, but pressure
to liquidate appears to be less. Also
strong demand from finishers probably
will keep more of the medium-flesheC
lambs out of slaughter channels in thu
next two months than last fall.
Little Change in Numbers
Any change in the breeding flock in
ventory on Jan. 1, next, probably vii
be small. Slaughter of mature sheel
under federal inspection in January
July was 447, 900 head against 1890
head last year. The increase was to-
small to indicate a trend toward sell
ing off ewes. Demand for breedin
