Prices Of Wheat
Due For Advance,
Federal Opinion
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. UP
The Aft'lculture department pre
dicts wheat prices will advance
gradually after the summer peak
In market movement.
The advance, the department
said, should take prices to or
slightly above the level at which
th. government Is making price
supporting loans. That level aver
ages about $1.95 a bushel at the
farm.
Prices of winter wheat at the
present were said to be running
around 20 cents a bushel below
the loan rate. In the period of
heavy market movements of win
ter wheat last month, prices drop
ped as much as 35 cents a bushel
below the support rate. The low
point last year was about 18 cents
under the loan.
The price of spring wheat, on
the other hand, is still above loan
rates for that class, largely be
cause new crop supplies are not
yet available In any quantity.
The department said U. S.
wheat supplies for the 1949-50 sea
son ai now estimated at 1,482.
000,000 bushels. Only In 1942 and
1943 were supplies significantly
greater.
It said domestic use may total
about 700,000.000 bushels. That
would leave 780,000,000 available
for export and reserves. If ex
ports total 450,000,000 bushels, the
carryover reserve on July 1, 1950,
would be about 330,000,000 com
pared with 293,000,000 on July 1
this year.
In the 1948-49 season, domestic
use totaled 691,000.000 bushels and
exports 501,000.000.
The department said Indications
continue to point to a 1949 bread
grain crop in Europe, excluding
Russia, of about 5 per cent below
the 1948 level and 10 per cent be
low the 1935-39 average, borne In
crease is expected in the Soviet
Union as compared with last year,
when production was 17 per cent

plained some people may lose
weight on a salt-free diet because
with less salt present their bod
ies absorb less water. And water
represents a big portion of the
body's weight. But they said peo

diet unless advised by their phy
sician to do so, because the body
needs salt, especially In hot
weather.

TREES FURNISH employment for many members of this community. Some
work in the forests . . . others in the mills, processing the timber crop . . . Other
citizens rely for their livelihood on the trade furnished by the people employed
by the forest products industries.
Burning trees hurt all of us. A blaze which consumes growing timber may
destroy the pay envelope of every member of the community. Burned trees
create no trade or employment.
Help keep fire out of the woods. If we work together we can lick Forest
Enemy Number 1.
Remember . . . One tree will make millions of matches
One match will destroy millions of trees-
