continues to supply most of the export
wheat which reduces the amount of
free" wheat needed. Trade stocks
probably will be allowed to drop to
minimum because of the lower sup
port next season, unless weather points
to small new crop or war clouds in
| duce holding. Winter wheat crop pros
| poets probably have not changed much
since December, but a large area is
subject to dust storm damage during
early spring. Congress is moving to in
crease durum wheat acreage allOt-
ments in durum- growing counties in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana.
FEED GRAIN - Large stocks are
likely to prevent much price strength
in the next two or three months. JAN
uary stocks of corn, oats, barley and
grain sorghums in all positions totalled
about 107 million tons against IS mil
lion tons year previous. Although
farmers were feeding more livestock,
apparent disappearance of these grains
in October-December was 10 per cent
less than year previous.
SEEDS - Prices received by farmers
for leading legume and grass seeds
have inched slightly higher since their
sharp advance last fall. Crops and car
ryoverS of red clover, sweet clover,
white clover, lespedeza, timothy, red
top and crested wheatgrass are less
than usual domestic disappearance.
Alfalfa, ladino clover, chewingS and
tall fescues and bent grasses are the
most plentiful kinds. Prices received |
by farmers on January Is averaged |
$500 cwt for alfalfa seed, $3.50 for
alsike, $51.8O for red clover, $14.1O for
sweet clover, 5000 for timothy seed
and $2O1O for lespedeza seed.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Prices for both
fluid and manufacturing milk probably |
will decline about 10 per cent to a
seasonal low point in May or June.
Butterfat will drop only another cent
or two. Production per COW will rise
IS per cent or more and the number of
cows in milk probably will increase
about 10 per cent in the next four
months. Government supports will con-
tinue at the same levels as in the past
year, and government buying will in
crease as production rises Allowing for
changes due to season, returns to dairy
men will continue about as they have
been since April last year.
EGGS - Prices probably viii hold
most of their January gains but may
not go much higher for two or three
The rise will curb consumption
and storage demand for both shell and
frozen eggs Production viii increase
to a yearly peak in the next few weeks
and viii be larger than ever before.
The worst appears to be over in the
egg market, however, and focks are
likely to be much more profitable in
The year ahead. Recent heavy culling
and smaller purchases of replacement
chicks will eliminate the surplus pro-
auction which depressed prices since
asst spring.
POTATOES - Prices probably win
lot rise much above early February
evels. Selling during period of price
strength is advisable. Stocks are about
en- million bushels less than the ex-
,essive holdings of a year ago. Market

IShore-who only goes 220 now
had a fast ball sinker the Sena-
tors couldn't fathom that day,
but they weren't the only club
that had trouble with it. He
pitched five. one-hit games that
season. Against the Athletics
Shore went unscathed after
Jimmy Walsh, the first batter
tup, singled. Later on. against
the st. Louis Browns, he went
seven innings before a pinch
hitter spoiled his game.
Shore won a game for the Red
Sox in the 1915 World Series,
and lost one to Grover Cleveland
! Alexander Of the Phillies. In
the 1915 Series he beat Brooklyn
twice. and Rube Marquard was
his victim on one occasion
Ruth was a real whiz, Shore
said. at his pitching peak, as his
World Series records bear out.
But the Sheriff thinks the Babe
was beginning to have a little
trouble with his arm when Ed
Barrow shifted him to the out
field, where he became one Of
baseball's all-time greats.
&AH
Shore calls Ty Cobb the smart
lest player the game ever pro-
duced. up until his time, at least
especially when batting.
"He never stood twice in the
same way in the box" Ernie said.
"If you got a strike on him, he'd
Imove-always trying to out
guess you. But Cobb never gave
me as much trouble as Bobby
Veach. He was always tough for
me to handle"
And speaking of hitters, Shore
lis sort of puzzled by the way
modern batters straddle the box.
In his time they stood with their
feet together and stepped into
the pitch. Sam Crawford was
the only one he remembers who
stood with feet apart, taking a
toe hold.
AS for pitchers, Shore saw
some Of the games greatest and
competed with them, but he'll
take Walter johnson as the all
time best.
HE had everything but a good
ball club behind him." Ernie said
1--WE beat him three 10 games
in one season and with a good
team johnson would have broken
Cy Young's record"
Shore. who has been sheriff
10 years and has three more to
60 on his present term, would
have been a corking good tackle
in football, for size at least, but
came along 80 years too soon for
the pro game. AS a matter OF
fact. nearby Guilford College
where he went to school, had nc

have been a pretty good one, too

WINSTON : SALEM, N. C.
Sept. l0.-The Redskins and
Green Bay Packers end Their
preseason tours here tonight in
the first professional football
game ever played here.
The kickoff is scheduled for
pm. Washington time, and the
game will be broadcast In Wash
ington over WTOP with Jim
Gibbons at the microphone.
Cosponsored by the local
Junior Chamber of Commerce
and Winston-Salem. Forsyth
County Peace Officers' Benefit
Association. the game created
even more of a stir than antici-
pated this week when George
Marshall. president of the WASH
ington club, blasted Winston
Salem as lousy" sports town.
Marshall declared several people,
including Maryland's Jim Tatum,
had told him the game wouldn't
draw corporal's guard, and he
criticized the populace as domi-
mated by one industry.
Marshall Draws Editorial
A front page feature on Mar
shall, recounting a tour on which
he slapped the other cheek, >
was followed by an editorial ir
,today's Twin City Sentinel en-
titled, big Chief Redskins Car
Only Say Ugh"
The editorial conceded that
Marshall's remarks were "kinc
Of unnerving" and that he hac
succeeded in getting in our
hair"
But it concluded with the
thoughtful observation that
chances are he's like most other
Indians. and we can make a deaI
with him. Trade him, say, the
price OF a ticket to the Piedmont
Bowl (RedSkins- Packers game)
in exchange for a change oi
heart about our town. Wen Just
bet in no time he'd pass us q
peace pipe stuffed with Prince
Albert"
Ticket Sale Rises
Whatever Marshall had in
mind-he's done a lot of talking
about politics, third party In
the South, repeal of the national
income tax law, States rights
etc., the ticket sale has passed
the 10000 mark and the spon-
sors are assured of a financial
success. The local committee
