SHOW INCREASE IN PRODUCTION Improved Pastures Aid To Higher Milk Production In July Washing‘on, July 28—Improved pastures and increased milk production featured the domestic dairy i situation the past month, accord-j ! ing to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Production per cow on 1 Ju’y 1 was 12 per cent larger than a year ago. Total milk production was increased 6 per cent. Improvement in pastures and crop prospects indicates increased tnilk production dining the next several months. Prices of dairy products have declined sharply with the increase ini production, but consumers are spending more for manufactured dairy products now than in 1931.! Consumer expenditures are expected to increase during the remainder of this year. The condition of pastures on July 1 was the best for that date in six years, says the bureau. A year ago at that time pastures were Rte poorest ever reported. The improve ment in pastures is the principal factor accounting for increased tnilk production per cow. Prospective feed crop production is larger than in 1931. but below average. A decline in feed grain prices in relation to butterfat is expected to result from production ' of “more formal crops of grain ’. —..f X———-o — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR POULTRY Government Reports Favorable Outlook For Rest Os Year — • Washington, July 26 —A "favorI able outlook" for poultry produCI ers the remainder of this year is ■ seer, by the Bureau of Agricultur•al economics in its summer’poul- ’ try nd egg outlook report issued i today. Egg and poultry prices are likel ly at b.igher levels than laijt year, • the bureau says. The supply of ■ fresh eggs is expected to be a ' little larger than last year, but the supply of shell eggs in storage i is much smaller than a year ago I and will offer less competition to the fresh-egg .supply. Increased production per hen and a small increase in number of layers are expected to result in increased production of eggs during the early months of 1936 as com-, pared with the small output in the corresponding months of 1935. Supplies of poultry next fall and , winter aje expected to be slightly , smaller than last fall and winter.' Storage stocks are somewhat ’arg- 1 er, but there are fewer hens on farms. Many of the chickens raised this year will be saved for layers, the bureau says, and a. smaller proportion of the total crop Made available for market. Many farmers in Adams county i are finding that is “cheaper to feed corn into poultry than it is to sell! it” as one of them expressed his ■ views on the subject. The prices for both eggs and: ! Chickens have held up much better i than most poultrymen expected. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

FARMERS REPAY IOANS RAPIDLY Less Than $200,000 Still Owing On 1934 Corn Loan Program Washington, July 26— Farmers whoTYiok advantage of the government’s 1934 corn loan program have repaid borrowing until they owe less than $200,000. it was announced today by the Commodity Credit Corporation. This is the second of the Govern- , ment’s loans on farm-stored corn, ! the first being inaugurated in the i fall of 1933 to enable producers to market their crop in more orderly fashion and to obtain advantage of price increases. Os the 15.689 loans made under the 1934 program, a few over 300 loans, approximating $192,304 were outstanding on July 17. Though these loans became due and payable on July 1, Commodity Credit Corporation officials point out that a short period is required for liquidation, as In connection with any loan. They believe that complete liquidation will be effected within I a few days. The total amount Os money advaniced farmers under the 1934 program was approximately sll,038,390, on bushels of corn at the loan value Tate of 55 cents per bushel. These loans were made to farmers in 10 States —Colorado. Illinois, Indiana, loaw, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri. Nebraska. Ohio and South Dakota. j The volume of loans during the . past season was not as large as . under the original program because I corn prices had risen considerably above the loan value, and because corn prices had risen considerably above the loan value, and because i corn supplies on farms were very t limited. Loans made on 1933 farmt stored corn amounted to approxi- , mately $120,500,000 and the volume of corn put into storage total! j ed about 270,000.000 bushels. The , loan rate in 1933 was 45 cents per bushel. One-hundred per cent collj ection was repot ted on the 197,000 ' : loans involved in this program. It has been announced that a , corn loan will be made available; ’ I this fall to farmers participating i . i.t the 1935 corn-hog program. AgriI cultural Adjustment officials state, I however, that it is yet too early to i determine supplies which might be on hand this fall, and consequently it is impossible to establish the loan value rate at this time. The corn loan program is recognized by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration as a valuable device for carrying reserve sup- ] plies from one year to another. i provided that it is coupled with ] sound production control.

BUY CATTLE OF UNITED STATES South American Countries Purchase Breeding Stock Here South America, among the foreI most cattle raising areas in the ! world, is buying breeding stock i from the United Stales. The second shipment of a coni signfnent of more than 2<M> regisI tered Holstein heifers, designed to i work a Nordic strain into the vast 1 dairy holdings of Patino Mines and Enterprises, Inc., at Oruro, 1 Bolivia, will leave Norfolk. Va.. July 27 on the Grace Line Weightier Nosa Queen. It will constitute i the largest shipment of cattle to any South American country in rej cent years. Although the transaction is some ! what reminiscent of sending coals 'to Newcastle. Bolivia itself is a I mountainous country and is not. a large cattle producer. The blooded : dairy stock of the Patino Company, I however, is almost as well known ] there as are the famous tin mines that made Simeon I. Patino one of ' the five richest men in the world. More Purchases to Follow The Norfolk shipment will bring the total of dairy cattle purchased 1 from the United States by Patino I Enterprises in the last 18 months i to more than 400. Patino officials in New York said that further , purchases probably will be made. I Tiie value of the cattle already USED CARS ARE CHEAPER AT THOMPSON CHEV. CO. NOT MANY LEFT. MAKE YOUR PICK EARLY.

bought approximates $50,000, while the cost of freight and insurance is almost as much again. The animals leaving their homeland come from dairy farms in lowa. Minnesota and Wisconsin. American Livestock Exports Company of Chicago assembled the heifers after negotiations with J. A. Arguedas, Patino purchasing agent with offices in New York. Called Largest Scale Arguedas predicted that further shipments of cattle will be made from this country for breeding purposes. “A few years ago some cattle were sent to southern Chile.’’ he said, “but they were few in number. This Is .he largest sale of the kind of which I have ever heard. The cattle ipoesees a remarkably fine strain. Previously we have made similar importations from Holland, but the heifers from midwestern United States are of even better quality. We plan on making additional purchases in the
