about 1 per cent to a record high this
season but world consumption is hold
ing about even with it.
Under the new law, incentive pay
ments to producers will start April 1,
1855, and continue to 1859. The payment
is expected to bring average returns
to about 62 cents a pound, grease
basis, or los per cent of parity, COM
pared with present price supports at
80 per cent.
WHEAT - Prices will work higher
eventually, although upward progress
may be slow in the near future. The
loan program is gradually becoming the
dominant force. Offerings are relatively
light, as many producers are holding
to sell at higher prices or to obtain
loan protection before January 81.
The decrease of 100 million bushels
or more in the domestic crop from last
year, smaller crops in Canada and
Europe and the cut in the national 1855
allotment from 81 million acres to SIS
million acres are minor strengthening
influences.
Total domestic and world supplies
are still quite burdensome, however.
The government is supplying most of
the export demand from its stocks and
new orders for flour are light. Hence,
commercial demand for wheat is not
giving prices much upward push at
this time.

ately larger than year ago, rejecting
the larger early spring pig crop.
They will increase rapidly after mid
September when the fall run will get
under way and will be one-third or
more larger than at present by late
fall or early winter. Selling down to
around 200 pounds is advisable on minor
price bulges in the next two or three
weeks. Push lighter hogs to get as
many as possible finished and mar
keted before the end of October.
LAMBS-Prices are likely to show
some weakness in the next month or
two when the marketing of range lambs
will be at its peak and supplies of COM
peting meats will be heavy. However,
they probably will hold above the Au-
gust low point Pressure to sell from
drought areas has moderated and de-
mand for feeder lambs has increased

to be quite plentiful Selling finished

Cattle-A little strength in prices for upper
grades and weakness for lower grades are in
prospect.
Hogs-Price drop of SO to IS cwt. is prob
able by late November.
Lambs-Sustained uptrend is unlikely until
late in year.
WooI-Incentive payment starting April 1855,
is expected to bring average growers return to
about 62-cent level.
Wheat-Loan program is taking hold and will
push prices higher eventually.
Feed Grains-Shcrt Gree supply of corn
probably will pull prices up near loan value
Fiaxseed-Big crop will hold prices down near
support level.
Seeds-Crop prospects are favorable for north
eru alfalfa, red clover and ladino Seeds

FEED GRAINS Prices will be higher
later in the season. but will fluctuate
irregularly in the near future with corn
likely to be weak relative to other
grains. Peak of the harvest movement
is past for oats and barley but it is
six to eight weeks ahead for corn.
Weather probably is increasing the
corn crop appreciably over the August
forecast.
FLAXSEED - Prices probably will
remain near new crop support levels
for some time. The crop greatly ex-
ceeds actual needs and a large pro-
portion probably will got to the govern
ment under the support program. 1t
seems well to sell if prices approximate
the net loan value. If they do not, store
and apply for government loan or
purchase agreement.
SEEDS-Price changes will vary de-
pending on the outcome of new crops.
Prospects appear favorable for north
ern alfalfa, red clover, alsike and la
dino seed crops, but lespedeza and
some grass seed crops will be short.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Prices will
show moderate strength in the next
few months. Production will decline
until November or early December,
although the drop will be less sharp
than usual. Dairy pastures probably are
improving and slightly more cows than
usual are freshening in early fall. Re-
tail prices are rejecting more of the
drop in support levels and consumption
of both fluid milk and manufactured
products is increasing. The amounts
of butter and cheese the government
has been forced to buy to support
prices has dropped sharply.
Under the new farm law, supports
will continue at rs per cent of parity
but it authorizes the Secretary of Agri-
culture to buy fluid milk as well as
butter, cheese and dry skimmilk and

milk production probably will continue
high for the time of year and returns
over feed costs will be low. Close Gull
ing and shifting to other farm enter
prises will help bring dairy production
and consumption into better balance
TURKEYS-Prices will be under pres
sure from the big crop in the next few
weeks. Large-type hens now reaching
market maturity are meeting a SLOW
demand and some are being processec
and stored for growers in hope of bet
ter prices later. Pushing early sales a
long as returns show a profit seem
advisable.
POTATOES-Pric are likely to b

will be moderately profitable. The inter

production and distribution of goods and
services is generally looked for in the
months ahead. Money for business ex-
pansion is plentiful and business con-
fidence is high. A slow healthy growth
rather than a quick boom is believed
to be in the offing.
Employment and payrolls are ex-
pected to pick up after having had
minor dip in the past year. Consumer
buying-the biggest element in business
activity-will stay high. The construc-
ton industry will continue at near top
rates. Government spending will re-
main close to year-ago levels.
Better business, if it comes, will be
sustaining force in farm markets,
but it is not likely to be strong enough
to lift them much over present levels.
Any increase in consumer OUTLAWS for
food and apparel may be largely alb
Sorbed by increased costs and charges
for processing and distribution. The
farmers share of the food dollar, now
around "A cents, is not likely to increase
appreciably and may shrink a little
more. Increased efficiency on the part
of farmers may be necessary to hold
their present relative position.
The new farm act will mean slightly
lower price supports next year and
tighter acreage controls because of
"croSS compliance requirements. 1t
will help bring farm production into
line with present needs at prevailing
prices, but the cut in volume will re-
duce the incomes of some farmers.
CATTL E-Prices for the better
grades probably will continue to show
a little seasonal strength in the next
few weeks. They are not likely to go
up much, however, as supplies in feed
lots being readied for the fall market
are relatively heavy. Marketing from
California feed lots has increased and
western demand for shipment from
Cornbelt markets has diminished. Close
selling of cattle of choice or prime
finish appears advisable in the next sc
days.
Prices for lower grades of slaughter
cattle probably will be steady to veal
in the next two months. Rains which
restored grass and stock water sup
plies in some areas reduced sellin,
pressure for the time being, but man,
cattle will have to come soon becaus
of short supplies of winter feed. Marke
supplies may increase to 10 per cen
over recent volume with the creates
increase likely in the bottom grades
Selling soon or waiting until early wiz
ter if feed supplies permit seems az
viSable.
Improvement in feed and stock waite
conditions in grazing areas as well e
in the Cornbelt has brought a rise
over 81 cwt. in prices for stockel
and feeders. They now look steep col

1nez de Koning admits that she
doesn't exactly like living alone
but the 12-year-old Dutch girl
says she manages to keep oc-
cupied enough to prevent bore
dom and loneliness.
Inez. who came to this coun-
try less than three years ago,
has an apartment in a Central
Philadelphia hotel where she
cooks and keeps house for her
self, when she's not in school.
She has been living there,
alone, since her father, Theodore
de Koning, an electrical en-
gineer, returned to the Neither
lands for visit more than a
month ago and then found him
self barred by immigration rules
from immediate re-entry to the
United States.
The blond. blue-eyed girl had
gone to camp for the summer.
When she returned on August

father, a note saying he would
be delayed.

In counter-attack, Mr.. Bulls
said his opponents interest in a

to get renominated to the County
Council in the June % primary" ="
The educator denied a bad
attendance record as a member
OF the board where regular meet
ings are concerned. He con-
ceded he missed a number of
special meetings which were
called on the spur of the mo-
ment." He also denied the con-
flict-of-interest charge and cited
his 20 years in public and pri-
vate schooling as evidence that

As u. S. Bars Fathers Return

, many hours to reading and

Inez' father was in the United
States for eight years, having
entered on a first preference
classification because his serv-
ices were urgently needed" by
an American concern, Henry
Mule, acting district director
of the immigration and Natu-
ralization Office here said.
Mr.. de Koning returned to
Europe without ANY knowledge
on our part and even without
the knowledge" of the firm need
ing his services, Mr.. Mule
added.
An extension of the first pref
erence classification was re-
jected. Mr.. Mule continued, be-
cause the concern advised US"
it was no longer interested in
his services.
The director said Mr.. de Kon-
ing could return to this country
under first preference classif1-
cation if another American con-
Germ needing his services filed a
petition for re-entry. He ex-
planned that the first SO per cent
OF a foreign country's immigra-
ton quota is reserved for first
preference classifications. The
only other way Mr.. de Koning
could come back, said Mr.. Mule,
would be under the regular quota
system.

ing wrote his daughter that he
was trying through both Dutch
and American officials to speed
his readmission.
