is small as new orders for goods are
seasonally light. Early March CC.C.
sales were lowest since the new selling
program began.
Buying in growing areas is increas-
ing, however, with some contracting for
future delivery-uSually sign that wool
traders are optimistic. Prices reported
range from 1914 to 4812 cents pound
in territory states and 44-45 cents in
fleece wool states. Southern Hemisphere
markets have been irregular, but were
mostly steady to firm in latest reports.
WHEAT-Prices may hold recent ad-
vanced levels for few weeks, but fur
Their rises are likely to be small and a
substantial decline by midsummer
should be expected. Prices have moved
closer to support levels, especially for
classes and at markets which were still
comparatively low. Sales by producers
in such cases have been small. The new
farm program proposals and dry wealth
er in the Southwest have contributed
to price strength.
These factors probably have spent
most of their force In spite of larger
placements under loan than expected,
''free" stocks appear to be around so
million bushels more than a year ago.
Exports are being filled largely from
C.C.C stocks. Outcome of farm legisla-
ton is still in doubt. Unless the support
level for the 1856 crop is increased
over the announced average level of
$1.81 a buShel, mills and dealers will
let their inventories run down in the
next two months
In spite of drouth, winter wheat crop
prospects probably are equal to the
735 million bushels indicated last fall.
Growers plan to plant about AZ per cent
more acreage to durum wheat and 1
per cent more to other spring wheat
than last year. With yields up to the
1949-54 average, the crop would be about
1873 million bushels. The total crop would
be about 923 million bushels against 938
million bushels harvested last year and
little more than expected domestic
usage and exports.
FEED GRAINS - Prices. especially
for corn, probably will show further
gains during the spring. Growers are
planning acreage reductions of 3.5 per
cent for corn, Al per cent for oats and
8.S per cent for barley and a slight i'm
crease for Sorghums. If yields are near
the 195O-54 average, total production of
feed grains would be about nine million
tons, or per cent less than in 1855
and somewhat less than probable usage
during the current season. Actual plant
ings will depend partly on farm legisla-
ton and future weather. Soil prepara-
ton and seeding are being delayed
Slightly in some areas.
FLAXSEED - Prices seem to have
lost steam in their upward climb.
Growers had redeemed by Feb. Is about
40 per cent of the amount placed under
price support, so that ''free'' stocks an
pear to be substantially greater than
requirements for the rest of the season.
In most years, prices reach their peak
by or before March, then start a sea-
sonal drop to harvest-time low. Crow
ers plan to increase acreage So per
cent this year.
SEEDS-Price changes will depend
greatly on whether spring demand is
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-04-01

in the next few months, but further
gains may be small. Economic ac-
tivity is holding close to record levels.
Business confidence is running high.
Plans for spending for new plants and
moderniZatiOn, an important business
stimulant, have been stepped up to
1852 billions for 1856 compared with
$28.7 billions in 1855.
The economic sky is not cloudless,
however, so that any further upSurge
in activity may be disappointing Plans
for business and consumer spending
call for borrowing considerably more
money and increase in debt and may
be hampered by Tightening of credit.
, In spite of large sales in the past
year, inventories have increased Sub
stantially and business men may hes
itate to go much farther in piling up
goods. The squeeze between farm in
come and costs will restrict demand
for some industrial products. Whether
this will be relieved by legislation this
year remains to be seen.
CATTLE-Prices probably will do
moderately better in the next few
months. Prices for fed cattle have
made only small gains thus far. Move
ment to market, although smaller than
in early winter, continues 10 to 20 per
cent larger than a year ago.
Prices for stockers and feeders will
be seasonally strong in the next two
months. The new grass season is stim-
ulating demand for stock cattle, al
though shortage of pasture and stock
water is restraining buyers in parts
of the Southwest. Feeder cattle buy
erS are cautious because of losses on
fed cattle now being sold, so that most
of the two-way cattle coming to market
are going to the packer. However,
country buying of feeders has increased
in certain sections in the last few
weeks. Some buyers evidently are
starting to fill feedlots in expectation
of better fat cattle prices next sum-
mer and fall.
HOGS-A substantial seasonal price
rise is probable in the next three or
four months. Receipts may increase
temporarily in April, but the main
trend of supplies will be downward
until midsummer. Numbers of hogs
on farms on January 1 were 9 per
cent larger than a year ago, but
slaughter has been about 20 per cent
larger.
While supplies will continue heavier
than in 1855, increases will be less
than in the last three months. Part
of the increase in number over last
year will be offset by lighter weights
which are running or 4 per cent less
than a year ago. Packers continue to
take wide slaughtering margins which
probably will narrow when supplies
tighten and hog prices rise.
LAMBS-Prices probably will hold
fairly well in the next few weeks. but
may not go much higher. Remaining
fed lamb supplies probably are rather
light, as January 1 numbers on feed
were down 4 per cent and slaughter
since then has been roughly S per cent
larger than in 1855. The early spring
lamb crop is 2 per cent smaller than
last years. The decrease is in Cal
ifornia, Texas and the Northwest.

It may not make wars any
more attractive, but they do seem
to have a definite effect on our
little theater activity. There are
two distinct classes Of amateur
acting groups here-a first gen.
Grafton" set, formed after World
War I. and a second genera
ton, which came into being
after World War II. ct may be
that the wars were only Incl
dental. The increases in Wash
ington's population during each
meant that new suburban COM
munIties grew up that were virgin
fields for little theater enthu-
siasts. But this is no time to be
delving into thato
To get back to the point, one
of the first of the second gen.
Grafton" groups formed was the
Harrington Players, Inc. 1t was
given its impetus quite by chance
at a party in darlington late in
1913. It turned out that a nrm-
Der Of those present had had past
little theater experience. They
began swapping tales and got
around to bemoaning the lack
of opportunity in darlington for
indulging in their hobby. Before
the evening was over. they had
reached the decision to provide
their own opportunity.
If the original push came from
a chance gathering, the actual
organization was not at all hap
hazard. 1t was SO well done, as
a matter of fact, that the Ken
sington Players, when setting up
in business year later, bor-
rowed generously from the organ
national structure, constitution
and experience Of the Fairling-
ton players. Present Harrington
officers are Peggy Mitchell, presi-
dent; Robert Scott, vice presi-
dent; Ann Barker, secretary;
Edie Bierly, recording secretary
and Leo Garcin, Pete Holm and
Saul Biskin, members of the
board at large.
The darlington players stage
from two to four productions q
season and there are plans fol
establishing a theater Workshop
between shows. The play tourney
entry is Eugene O'Neill's Where

sented in the preliminaries or
