Total Retail Cost" “ Os Foods Increased Report Given Today By Ag Department WASHINGTON (UPD—The Agriculture Department said today the total retail cost-‘Of a “mgncet basket” of farm-produced foods during April, May and June was 8 per cent higher than during the same months last year. Farmers received about 60 per eent of this increase in the form of higher prices. Marketing firms got the remaining 40 per cent. Much of the increase in retail and farm prices came in the early months of 1958. Charges for marketing farm food products averaged 5 per cent higher in the second quarter than in April-June. 1957, the department said in its publication "The Marketing and Transportation Situation." Many operating costs of food marketing firms increased during the year as wages, freight rates and prices of many things marketing firms buy rose. The ‘‘Market basket” contains the average quantities of farmproduced food products purchased for consumption at home per urban wage earner and clerical worker family in 1952. The cost of the market basket in the second quarter was at an annual rate of $1,083. This was more than SBO higher than in the second quarter of 1957 and $27 higher than in the first quarter of 1958. 'The farm value of the $1,083 market basket for the second quarter was at an annual ratq of $444, or 41 per cent, which means the farmer got 41 cents of the consumer’s food dollar; The farm i value for the same period in 1957 was $396. Marketing charges—the take of the middleman —amounted to $638 for the second quarter. This compares with $606 in the second quarter in 1957. The department said marketing charges were higher for all product groups with fruits and vegetables accounting for about 40 per cent of the rise in the market basket total. Increases in meat prices during the 12 months ended June 30 accounted for about half the rise in the total retail cost of the market basket, the department said. Wrong Hours HARTFORD.

Fair Sidelights Before we reminisce of the first big day of Ulis year’s Adams county 4-H fair, let’s look ahead to some of the events that will climax today’s second day of the exhibition. Livestock exhibitors will again have a big day, with the swine, beef, and rabbit judging in session. Weigh-up for the steer show began at 8 o’clock this morning, as the beef judging will begin at 3 p.m. today. A new addition to the fair calendar win be the greased pig contest, a "first” for the fair, and something goers shouldi# event wall be at 6; 30 on the Adams Central track west and north of the school building. Tonight, there will be vesper services, at 7:30 o’clock. Following the chapel period, will be the second, non 4-H part of the entertainment festival. ' — O — Speaking of the entertainment festival, a good place to begin reviewing things that happened yesterday would be at the 4-H part of the two-night talent program. The 4-H talent scouts can be complimented for arranging a varied and lively program. The winners in both divisions were able to use much of the pantomiming ability, in their clubs. Cued in that this was certainly a non-musical act, the spectators caught on as soon as the bus driver boarded the stage bus and started to wield a huge, imaginary steering wheel and began to bound in his seat as if the were on a road similar to the raindamaged ones in the county. For the musical division, the story of Oscar the tramp brought in many familiar songs, popular and standards, that caught on well with the audieffce. • Several' good, more serious numbers in the musical division, placed high for both the judges and the standing-room-only crowd. — O — Crowds at the fair were cut down somewhat as the skies cleared for a few days making it possible for combines and harvesting machinery to get into the fields. Entries in the parade diminished as the grain growers in the county took advantage of the clear, dry weather to get out their grain while they could, as more rain was forecast for the remaining days of the fair and the weekend. — O’Still, the weather couldn’t have been better for the fair. It was j hot. but a brisk wind during most { of the day (which forced somel of the leaders to put up the flaps i on their tents to protect exhibits • helped cool the temperature and the grounds. The school grounds j were firm, a great help to the j parking officials, for the number i • of cars lined up past the Monroe i town limits, and covered the parking spaces both north and west and east of the school and fair grounds. There were scattered showers over the county, however, as Cecil Harvey in Root township . report a tenth inch of rain for ' Monday, and as clouds menaced the fair grounds, piling up in the ’ north and west Tuesday evening, but never coming close to dampen the festivities. — O — This year the industrial tent has doubled its size, according to Martin Watson. industrial tent chairman. Anything from a demonstration on a power saw that does beveling and wall cut a piece of wood at any angle; to possibly winning a pedigreeci police puppy to listening to music from tape recording and a piano at the other end of the tent may be found there. The tent holds 400 feet of advertising space. — O — First-time contests and parades for the new Adams county 4-H j horse and pony club came yester- ■ day. as the horsemanship show I saw 37 horses in all coming to the i grounds, and the exhibition draw- I ing 12'in one division and 18 In J another. In the ring, even a small colt stood close to its mare while ! she was being a model for her | rider in the horsemanship show, i Each entrant had'to lead the horse into the ring, unsaddle, groom i the horse, currying hi ml and cleaning one front and one hind hoof, re-saddle, mount, fide the ring for judge Pat Wilkerson of Warsaw, dismount, > and leave the ring. Mrs. Wilkinson was kept busy, as the routine took long enough that at least two entries had to be in the ring, performing at the same time. Each charter horse and pony club member received a trophy as he rode out of the ring: a mare and twin epits in black and “white china Trophies were donated by Oscar Ray and Jack Zehr. — O —

Conservationist Jack Hurst had a beaming smile on his face Tuesday night when he was questioned about the wildlife and conservation tent, which houses the entomology. broilder, forestry, and conservation, exhibits in addition to the pheasants, quail, poultry and rabbits. The tent last year had been almost too big for. the exhibit. | and this year, the exhibits for conservation and forestry made Hurst and his few helpers set up all the exhibit tables, possible, in order to accommodate the record number of exhibits. One outstanding exhibition, Hurst pointed out, was the winner of the entomolgy exhibit, Steven Gase, of Decatur. Ten years old. he has completed his first two years in entomology this year, and is well acquainted with even the Latin names of his speciments, which take up two exhibit cases. — O — Chicks for the quail and pleasant projects come from the conservation department, he explainI ed. The 4-H'ers get any number I from 25 up, according to facilitii es, when the chicks are a day old. i When the poults get to be eight ■ weeks old, they are set loose. A spi ecial exhibit in the willife-con-I servation tent is a migratory ; hawk, a red falcon raised by Dick I Steiner, Monroe, since it was five I days old. After the fair the plea- | sant, a good eight weeks old. will be released; the tiny quail are not old enough yet. The red falcon will be released to the game preserve . Hurst' reported. i— O — i "Everyone was there.” was one enthusiastic, but rather exhausted i comment from one of the workers at the 4-H fair this morning, when asked about the turnout Tuesday evening. It was hard to tell, they said, at the food tent, whether anyone was anywhere else, the crowd there was so large. But people I swarmed over the grounds, for at I that same time, the halls and exi hibition rooms of the Adams Central school building opened to the fair were crowded, and approximately 1,000 persons were seated at the entertainment festival, which began at 8:30 p.m. — O — Bulletin from Miss Lois Folk, the county home demonstration agent, on the dress revua: the theme will be "Around the World in Eighty ■ Days"— with persons appearing in ' national costumes from five coun- ; tries, and with the tour around the ' world ending at the county fair, after the 109 entrants in the revue have modeled their work. — O — “We were out of food, excepting I some beverages, at closing time I last night, at 10 o’clock.” was the | report of the food tent workers and J Mrs. Noah Habegger, food tent chairman, this morning after the

big opening night. Over 4,200 sandwiches were sold, and 300 pies that were ordered were devoured by-10 o’clock. The crowd came mostly during the evening, as local grain growers left their harvesting to attend the fair. Another big day is expected for today with the vesper service, the second part of the entertainment ' festival, swine and beef judging, and the greased pig contest on schedule. Food Preservation Winners To State All nine premium winners in the food preservation contest at the 4-H fair were adjudged state fair material, and all will be exhibited at the state show in late August and early September.
