(Hufo S. Sims, W?ilaH? .' ' , THE PARME8P8 OUTLOOK. STABLE MMANBJJBAD. FARM ?K? UXtn^L, WHAT OF THE FirfcvhEf SOME IMPROVEMENT. There wu some imprevementdoi* ing late May ?d JunV^~ economic conditions affecung sumer demand for farm Jf cording to the Bureau ?**gncuK tural Economics in the current issue of its Demand and Price Situation* j Industrial production recovered sharply from the low reached m April and early May, and, some ad ditional improvement during the mainder of the year is indieatadby conditio:* in the important indus tries. But the changes in business activity -and consumer purchasing power probably will not be great, enough to warrant any change in the outlook for relatively do mestic demand conditions during 1939. ? v Industrial production and general economic condition* in foreign coun tries which are important msrketr for our farm products have shown further improvement, mainly as a re sult of expenditures for war ma terials, but this has not yet been reflected in any important increase in foreign demand for United States farm products. Despite the improved business con ditions in recent weeks, definite evi dence of a general strengthening of commodity prices still is lacking, d-. though the decline which has been in evidence since March appears to have been halted. ^ ^ Wholesale prices of farm products are the lowest since June, 1934., .The ratio of prices received to prices paid by farmers in June also was 74 per cent of the pre-war level, one point befcw the May ratio, reflecting a, alight decline in prieee received and slightly higher prices paid by far-' mars for commodities. Farmers' income from marketings declined more than seasonally from May to June, and continued below the level of, May, >1939. However, with at -least table demand for farm prod ucts In prospect and with market ings of ..wheat, cotton and tobacco ex pected to increase more than season ally from the unusually low levels of recent months income from mark etings in the next few months should make-at least the usual seasonal in crease. ? ; Cotton Prices of spot cotton in domestic markets during the past month re mained at appr jximately the high est levels reached in nearly two years, influenced by relatively small ?free" domestic stocks and pptpecte for an export subsidy. Spot prices of American cotton are- apparently discounting at least partly the pros pective export subsidy, with prices at Liverpool only a few points above domestic prices. Wheat Domestic wheat prices in 1939--40 axe expected to be supported, rela tive to world prices, by smaller do mestic wheat supplies, e higher Fed eral loan rate, and a continuation of the export-aid pmgrsm. World wheat supplies are expected to be increased. With prospects for sa 88 per cent in crease in domestic floured produc tion, prices have declined since the beginning of the year in relation to foreign prices, and im parts of flsTiwroi have been materi ally reduced. Feed Graine Smaller production and pcssibly aKrKtiy larger total suppBes of feed are in prospect for 1939-40, bj relatively high oats prices compared with those of corn agd barley, and possibly a eontinua tien of the darnloan program into 1939-40. Hms After dechmng to the krrest lerel in about five years in nwWune, hog prices reap moderately in late June crease in the 1939 spring pig crop and the ?respective increase in the ? m i ?a . A.

The history of - the- Kellegg Pact demonstrates, it seems, to us, the im ipoteoce of agreements that are not supported by force. While the Kel logg Pact outlawed war and the sig natery Wtona renounced it as an in strument of national policy, there is I no provision .-providingi any- punish ment for nations which violate, the fagreeemnt. Consequently, certain nations have carried out aggrieve I moves with impunity and in <?m" jplete disregard of their pledged word. The United States is a party to the Keilogg Pact, but .it has .no obligation whatever to take any ac Jtion to punish nations which violate [the agreement.

The Lgwemnt signed by Great Britain and Japan, which is ai^atfy "th? ject of dispute in regards xo its mewing.. m expected to encourage the. Japanese army in China in ifcirt I tempted regulation of all foreigners. Several American citizens have . al j ready- been man-handled by Japanese soldiers, but the incidents have been closed by apologies by Japanese offi cials and, in some instances, promis es to punish thoee responsible for the affairs. \ Just how far the Japanese Army will go in the future is uncertain and this is what worries the officials in the State Department On August 15th, the Census Bu reau will undertake a special census in St Joseph and Marshall counties, Indiana, in order to test the prepara tions for the nations census next year Further and mom detailed in formation will be sought by the Gov ernment enumerators, who expect to secure statistics on internal mi gration, education, income housing and employment that will-be fuller I than anything heretofore available. These figures, it is believed, wfllj make possible an analysis of the national income and the economic j condition of the people and Provide information that will be helpful in solving the political, economic .and social problems of the present time. Oh Misuse Of Cards Farmers who misuaed their cotton marketing cards in 1988 will lose all payments to which they. might be entitled under the 1939 farm pro grau, E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive officer at State College, has an nounce^ . I This ruling, which was recently approved, is based on a provision of the program that a fanner's payment - may be with- j held if he has adopted any practice j which tend* to defeat the purpose of the farm program. . J Floyd explained .th^t fhe holder of J a red marketing carct^ under the mar-j keting quota regqlations, is requir-1 ed to pay a penalty on th*t part <rf| Us cotton marketings oT| Us quota. The grower who holds a.j white cards is allowed to market his lint without penalty. If the holder of the white card ginned or sold cotton for a farmer who held a red card,land the county committee determines that thisi afr tion was contrary to the marketing j quota regulations, nether ceive conservation or price sdiust- l meat payment# in connection with I the 1939 inrogrM^AA f ^esais ofl credited the white card holders with J more cotton than theyaetually ^*| ^KILLS. 8IUI - V V'Z'v QUESTION: How can I ertta^L the amount o? silage necessary for dairy beri? \i ANSWER: Since the ^ < will consume one cubic ?quired in pounds. QUESTION: Wb? should early [< molters be taken from the poultry flocks? ? "l' ANSWER: Remove as jfg^mh nielt appears or when production I ceases.

Many mediocre birijs stop laying iate in August and the first , part of September and-these too should be rejmoved from the flock, j . The birds that jare_: still laying in these latter months should be care Jolly culled for breeding hens next serine as they win come back into lay earlier and will transmit their ' laying qualities to their offspring. QUESTION: What, is the best -temperature for proper curing of ^tobacco? ANSWER: The : temperature Kt&nges with the various curing ?conditions and must be governed by the individual barn of tobacco. A temperature of from rive to ten de gxjees higher than, the outside tem perature should be maintained m "the barn until the leaf is fairly yel low. It should then be raised from four to five degrees eaeh hour, de pending upon the rapidity with which the green is fading, until a temperature of 120 to ! reached. Hold this until the tips of the leaves begin to dry aqdj raise it from four to six degrees-each hour until 135 to 140 degrees have been reached. After the leaf vs dry nrise. the temperature from 5 to 10 ^degrees an hour until 180 to 190. de grees is reached and hold, until the Jpaf stem is dry in all parts of the rbarn. < bry ^tton XJrjM .

If the cotton becomes ram soake^e* it regain on .the plant untillry.'Jf posaible. .If. the cotton ? merely damp with heavy dew, put off picking ur,til, after 9 or 10 0 J clock in the morning. H If the cotton is . picked >befere theg dew goes off, Ferguson advised leav- g ihg it in the sun just long enough jl for the excess moisture to disappear, jj However, should the eotton still be g green or damp in spite of^all pre-| cautions, it should be "stored in loose, g shallow layers or piles two to four H feet deep in some building or place where it is protected. Rest results wffi be obtained where good ventila tion is present and wberr seed is gently "turned" or stirred occasion aRy- ' . -" ^ In haj|}jng or storing cotton, the dpn$ should be thoroughly mixed with the dry.% This mixing will pre vent one-sided bales and will give the whole bale a slightly higher andj a more uniform grade. H Ferguson explained that driers will aid materially in producing a better told of cotton from damp bolls, but that these devices should iot be re garded as miracle workers.
