If you will have peaches to sell
this season. you might consider the
local market possibilities for the
tree ripened fruit.
Another important thing to keep
in mind this year Is that overly
green peaches can harm the mar
ket so make sure your fruit
is Of sufficient size and maturity
to move before you begin.
Prices TO the South of us have
been running like this: Spartanburg
markets have been paying $50 for
liberia variety in the one and one
ninth bushel crates. The Halehavens
in Spartanburg have been bringing
S2.25 to $3.50 Georgia liberia S
have been moving at $3.50 to s2.75
a bushel.
Orchard Grass Seed
If you harvested orchard grass
seed this year, don't be in a hurry
to sell. Prices. usually advance be-
tween harvest and planting time
and this year will not be an ex-
ception. Production this year Of
8,285 900 pounds of seed is down
A per cent from last year and
one-fourth below average. Virginia
the leading state. produced 4.515 900
pounds Of orchard grass seed. only
about one-half of last years crop.
A cold dry winter in the principal
producing counties resulted in thin
stands making less acreage avail
able for seed and lower yields.
Imports for the twelve months
ending June 80. mostly from Dem
mark, were 4.3 million pounds com
pared with Al million pounds
year earlier.
So with the supply down the out
look is for a higher price.

Beef Cattle
Favorable prices for feeder calves
are expected this fall Don't hold
too many heifers for replacement
stock.
There's going to be more cattle
on feed but the holdback on COW
and calf slaughter will make the
total slaughter not much above last
Near-and last year was mighty
low So this would indicate that
prices would continue strong into
fall
Slaughter is still running under

May figures on federally inspected
slaughter against the same period
a year ago tallies up a fraction
under one per cent lower for steers:
"A per cent more for heifers: %
per cent down for cows. and an
IL per cent drop in calves
For the month of June weekly
slaughter averaged eight to ten per
cent below a year ago: however,
for the first three weeks of July
slaughter was running a little above
July last year
Latest-July l-cattle on feed re
ports show Az million head as the
total for the thirteen larger cattle
feeding states That's up ten per
cent from a year ago and set a
new record
Farmers who expect to be buying
cattle this year instead Of selling

fully before making plans.

it looks like egg prices will show

led straight to the location of
Gov. Almond at the time the
shot was heard. The distance
was about SIS yards.
Even a mediocre marksman
can hit a man with a revolver
bullet from SIS yards, said Lit.
&c. G. Phaup, capitol police
chief. But he noted a twig will
defect a bullet far wide of its
target. The expended bullet
has not been found.
Wilbur Walker, the gov
ernor's administrative assistant,
speculated Gov. Almonds quick
stride unsettled the assailant.
The gunman also might have
been distracted by activity on
the street, Mr.. Walker added.
Police could find no witnesses
who saw anyone lettering be-
side the fence on Capitol street.
Threats on Increase

quency of threats against Gov.
Almond has increased in the
last month. He added:
We've been concerned all
along that something like this
might be tried. We've been con-
cerned that the governor
couldn't get all these threaten
ing calls and letters without
somebody actually trying it."
Mr.. Walker and 1t. Phaup
gave this account:
Gov. Almond came out the
front door Of the mansion
about 2::35 pm. He had taken
about 20 PAGES out the drive
and had just passed a foun-
tain in the lawn when the shot
was heard.
His bodyguard, state police
Sergt. Jack Elder, was walking
in the drive to meet him and
was about eight feet away. A
capitol policeman R. L. Hollo-
way, was standing outside the
gate to the mansion lawn.
Three painters were at work on
the north porch of the man
sion. No one saw the person
who fired the shot.
Sounded Like Pistol
Mr.. Holloway said the crack
sounded like that of a SO re-
volver. Gov. Almond also
thought it was a high caliber
pistol, possibly a .38, Mr..
Walker said.
But the governor didn't pay
any attention to it," Mr.. Walk
er added, because he didn't
think anybody would be shoot
ing at him. Friday evening after
we found the twig had been
broken by bullet, the COVER
nor went out to look at the
hedge, then became a little
concerned. But he wasn't upset.

/ a truck backnring on capitc
street. At the same time,
though. they searched the
hedge and sidewalk for an
elected gun cartridge or other
signs a gun had been fired. The
shooting was made public after
laboratory tests established
that the lockwood twig was
broken by a bullet.
No cartridge was found,
which indicated the weapon
was not an automatic pistol
but a revolver. which does not
eject cartridges after firing.
The possibility the shot was
from a rifle or shotgun was
ruled out by the sound.
Lead Slivers on Branch
The assailant apparently was
standing on a line even with
the front OF the mansion about
20 feet east Of the locked north
gate to the lawn.
The broken twig and a sur
rounding branch were removed
from the lockwood and sent to
DR.. Sydney Kaye. the State
toxicologist.
Under DR.. Hayes microscope.
the branch disclosed tiny lead
slivers that are discharged from
the muzzle of a gun along with
the bullet. They are gun barrel
debris forced out by the new
firing.
The broken twig-the size of
q mans little f1nger-had a
fresh crescent-shaped clean
nick which DR.. Kaye said he
believed was made by a bullet.
Most Of the recent anony-
nous threats directed at Gov.
Almond were chalked up to
harmless cranks and crackpots.
The threats included a bomb
scare just before his announced
attendance at a mosque con-
cert last fall and a telephone
threat he won't live to finish
his speech" before he was to
address the Legislature in jan
uary.
Other Incidents
At the segregationist "Bill of
Rights Crusade" at the Capitol
less than two weeks ago, four or
five men who had been drink
ing went up to the door of the
mansion afterward and threat
ened to drag the Governor out
and beat him up. Police stopped
them. The Governor knew the
father of one of the men and
they were not prosecuted.
Another recent incident was
a tampering with the front
wheel of the governors car.
Sergt. Elder found the lug nuts
had been loosened and the
wheel was in danger of flying
of. Some changes were made
in the governors garage. Mr..
Walker said he didn't believe
anyone could get in again.
1t. Phaup said the size of
the guard at the governors
mansion was increased as a
result of the gunshot. He would
not disclose the strength of
