Meat May Be Increased
That the Immediate effect of the
drought on prices will not bo fav

farm products is evident, however,
both from the record of price
trends during the past few weeks
and from information given in the
latest monthly review of the agri

unfinished slock, are likely to be
increased through forced sales

(A I) President Roosevelt, own

protltiible season because of
drought ravages.
He may harvest n fair crop of
hay. planted after recent rain
broke tho long dry period.
"We would have made absolute
ly nothing without ruins." Otis
Mooif. manager of the farm, said.
"And even with plenty of rain
Imiiceiorih. we will only make
about a fifth of a rrp.
"However, we do have a fair
chance at a fair hay crop, since
we have planted US or SO acres of
hay crops since the rains." '
Most of (he president's lauds are!
in mountain forests and pastures
with only abaut Ui acres (n cul

used principally for the production
of feed sturf for cattle.
