Barley last year was hurt by frost and much of th basin's crop was old for around 12 60-3.80, almost a Ml per cent comedown from Die 16 level reached for the 147 crop. Th expectation for this fall U for top grade of barley to bring a little better price than last year but for feed grains to display little strength. The barley support price will be lower than In th past and from l,0g to lt,e acres of farmlands in thla area hav been converted from that grain to wheat, pasture and th like. The support price In potatoes for the next harvest will be about hall what It waa last year and the mar ket price may also go down accord ingly, hurting the profitable spud Industry here.
