WOOL AND LAMB
DATA ANNOUNCED
State College Extension Group
Makes Analysis Price Trend
Oregon Sheep Industry.
Something of the sheep situation
can be judged from price relatives.
For instance, sheep prices in the
United States averaged in April 142
per cent of the pre-war 5-year aver
age price of $4.56 a hundred pounds,
compared with 185 per cent in April
1929. The index of lamb prices de
clined from 226 to 153 in the same
period and wool from 190 to 120.
Various reasons are given for this
sharp decline in values, including
world-wide expansion of sheep pro
duction, increased domestic lamb
supplies with unfavorable demand
conditions, and restricted use of
wool in clothing.
Interest in wool marketing is es
pecially keen at this time, but sales
are slow at the low level of prices
prevailing. The normal seasonal
price trend is somewhat downward
through March and April after
which prices usually tend to ad
vance until the approach of the new
wool crop season. Seasonal trends
of wool prices vary from the aver
age, however, from year to year and
few price trend forecasters have as
yet made predictions as to the
course of wool prices during the
next few months.
The prospective world wool clip
is expected to be about the same as
in 1929 and 1928. Conditions are
very favorable in Australia and
New Zealand. Some increase in
stocks in foreign primary markets
is reported. Business Is likely to
be slow until the volume of con
sumption shows signs of increasing
but current low prices, it would
seem, have discounted these factors
rather fully and there is some evi
dence of increasing interest from
both manufacturers and specula
tors. Much wool is being pooled
and consigned.
The average farm price of wool
is now at the lowest point since
1922 and almost down to the pre
war level. In 1921, wool prices went
a few cents lower than current val
ues, but at no other period have
they been so low since 1914. Hereto
fore, the sheep industry has not
stayed long in the situation it now
finds itself. The question is how
soon will it recover? How many
of the 12,000,000 sheep added to
flocks in this country since 1922
when there were 36,000,000 head
must be liquidated? And what
about sheep and lamb prices in the
meantime?
The Federal Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics finds that the
greatest single factor affecting the
price of lambs is the quantity avail
able for consumption. Too many
sheep means low prices for lambs.
The supply of lambs for the 1930
1931 marketing season is expected
to be larger than last year. The
total crop will probably be slightly
larger, and more ewe lambs will be
sold for slaughter.
There has been a gradual increase
in demand for lamb since the war,
but business depressions affect lamb
prices to a considerable extent
Cheap poultry also affects the price
of lamb.

CHILD NEEDS PLAY
SAYS O.S.C. COACH

Idleness Source of Majority of
Childhood Vices is Statement
In Coleman Radio Address.

The old saying, "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy," prob
ably contains more truth than its
author knew or present day parents
realize, believes Ralph O. Coleman,
coach of intramural athlteics at Or
egon State college.
Not that Coach Coleman feels
that modern children are being
overworked, but rather that they
are not being provided with oppor
tunities for wholesome play that
will develop them in right attitudes
and habits for the future
The world of play is the real
world of the child said Coleman in
recent talk over radio station
KOAC. "He thinks and acts in
terms of play. It is in play and
play companionships that he gets
nearly all his experience and forms
nearly all his habits. Play furnish
es the ground work that must in
terpret all later acquisitions The
forms of training which come from
it are as wide as the human soul.
Although play is often confused
with idleness, it is really exactly
the opposite, in both nature and
effect, Coleman points out A boy
who is working his arithmetic les
sons, for instance, is using only &
few muscles in his hands and a few
cells in his brain, and is therefore
much more nearly idle than the boy
who is playing baseball and using
nearly every muscle in his body and
every cell in his brain.
Persons who prohibit their chil
dren playing with certain other
children are often doing more harm
than good, believes Coleman. While
there may be some reason for pro
hibiting, he says, the danger does
not come from the play.
"A boy can play baseball with
eight other boys, all of whom be
long in a reform school, and so long
as he plays he will not suffer any
harm," explained Coleman. "But
let him loaf around with them for
half an hour and the effect of that
half hour may mar a whole life. All
the vices of childhood are nourished
in idleness, and almost anything

Consumption on Increase While
Production Remains Smaller
Over United States
Butter production is being cur
tailed, while consumption is on the
increase, according to the latest re
port on commodity situation and
market outlook issued by the Ore
gon State college extension service.
The butter output of the country in
March was 3 per cent below that of
March 1929 and somewhat more in
April.
With consumption increasing at
present price levels, the supply-demand
situation is improved, the re
port says, but some surplus re
mains in storage and foreign sup
plies threaten to come in if prices
advance further in this country
over foreign markets Severe de
pression exists in European butter
markets, especially in Germany and
Great Britain.
Meanwhile the campaign to in
crease the use of butter in Oregon
has progressed with surprising vig
or. In one city the use of butter
has been boosted so much that sale
of substitutes has fallen off 35 per
cent.
