\ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1930 "General Farm Produce Price Level Has Been Rising Since Aug. 15 - 1068, CATTLE, CATTLE, SPUDS [ovrourway Be Wie By Williams _||= __ AND BUTTER BRING -PARMER MORE GASH Economist Willard, Shows Big Drop in Wheat ‘ Still Is Holding BEEF SEEMS GOING HIGHER However, Decline in Hog Quotations Ex- pected; Brakes on In Feed- er Lamb Movement Since August 15 the general price level of farm products has advanced, although cotton and wheat failed to maintain their earlier slight gains. Noticeable improvement in hog prices, cattle, potatoes and butter is in evidence. In North Dakota cash crop prices decreased from an index of 85, August 15, to 82 as estimated for September 15. On the other hand, the index of livestock and livestock products advanced from an index of 114, in August, to 128, September 15. The general farm price index for all North Dakota farm products stood at 106, June 15, 90, July 15, 92, August 15, and is estimated to be 94, Septem- ber 15. ‘Wheat Smaller feed crops in the United States and in Europe will tend to in- crease demand for wheat, particular- ly for feeding purposes. Heavy feed- ing of wheat in Pthe he United States will undoubtedly help this situation furth- er. Wheat production in 26 import- ant countries of the world in 1930 is estimated to be 3 per cent larger than that of last year. ~ The estimated farm price of wheat, August 15, in North Dakota was 68 cents as an average for all grades and classes, compared with $1.06 a year ago. The average farm price in North Dakota, September 15, is esti- mated to be 66 cents. Flax Flaxseed prices seem likely to re- main at approximately present levels until some change in building activi- ty takes place. The United States crop is estimated to be approximately 24,600,000 bushels, compared with slightly less than 17,000,000 bushels last year. In North Dakota crop will amount to about 10,500,000 bush- ,000,000 els, compared with about bushels in 1929. Potatoes The average farm price of potatoes in the United States, August 15, was estimated to be $1.09 which was 30 cents lower than on the same date a year ago. During the first week of September prices advanced sharply. On the basis of the condition of the crop Sept. 1, the United States production was placed at 330,000,000 bushels, Compared with 360,000,000 bushels last year and a five-year aver- age of 393,000,000 bushels. In North Dakota the crop is estimated at 6,000,000 bushels compared with about 7,000,000 bushels last year and about 10,500,000 bushels as the five-year average from 1924 to 1928. Marketings of the late crop up to September 6 were less during the same period last year but the ship- ments of midseason potatoes were higher than during the correspond- ing period last year. Beef Cattle Some further advance in fed cat- tle prices, a continuing weak market for butcher cattle and fairly steady prices for stocker and, feeder cattle seem to be in pros} for the next two or three months.’ Any consider- able recovery in the general level of cattle prices mus{, await a substantial improvement in consumer demand for beef. Hogs ‘The seasonal decline in hog prices may be expected to get under way in the next few weeks. The average of September and October prices will probably not be greatly different from that of the corresponding period in 1929. Storage supplies of hog products continue relatively small. - Reduced feed supplies and a less favorable corn hog ratio will probably result in relatively large slaughter supplies during the late fall and early winter with corresponding lower prices. Ex- ports of pork and lard declined ma- ferially in July. The foreign outlet for pork products appears likely to continue unfavorable for some months, as Europe is on an upward trend in hog ‘production. Lambs Shipments of feeder lambs from markets have been very limited, the number shipped into seven important feeding states of the corn belt being 35 per cent smaller than in August last year and the smallest for any August since 1921. These small ship- ments reflect both the poor pasture condition and prospective short corn Production and also the uncertainty of feeders as to the trend of the lamb market during the next four months. Lamb prices, after reaching the lowest level of the season for the new crop lambs about the end of July, made a recovery of over $1 per hun- dredweight dyring August. Compared with @ year ago, feeder lamb prices were much lower than fat lambs, The average price received by North Da- kota producers for lambs was esti- Butter Butter production for the remaind- er of the year is expected not to ex- September 1, were the lowest ever reached for that month and the Production when the heavy feeding feason approaches.

You must know and I am sure you do know |that man has always fought for jus- | tice fair deal, especially for the You wi UI big business.

Do you think the king. Declarer now leads the jSeven of diamonds, trumping in the dummy with the seven of hearts. The nine of clubs is next led from dum- my, East playing the six, declarer the deuce, West winning the trick with the jack. West now leads the queen of clubs, dummy plays the ten, East the eight and the declarer refuses to trump the trick, discarding the deuce of spades. He is now assured of going game. If West returns a spade, de- clarer is bound to make his king of spades. If a club is returned, the de- clarer will trump in dummy and dis- card a losing spade. By discarding a loser and keeping the lead in the West hand, declarer has gone game. Shuffle and Cut While it is customary for the player on the left of the declarer to shuffle the cards, remember that the declarer has the right to shuffle the cards last. ‘The pack must be shuf- fled thoroughly in view of all piayers, but the face of no card shall be ex- posed during the shuffle.

Hoot provides all of the old thrills which put him by himself in the class of western stars—and adds plenty of new ones for good measure. He proves easily that he is unsur- passed as a horseman, and even has added to the skill and cunning that’ won the all-around championship at the famous Pendleton, Ore:, Roundup. The action of ‘The Mount Stranger” is laid in the old romantic southwest, down near the border, Hoot plays the part of a daredevil cowpuncher, who singlehanded sets out to avenge the death of his father at the hands of a gang of bad men.
