How can the farmer and stock rais er turn the live-stock reports of the Bureau of Markets United States De partment of Agriculture, into dollars is frequently asked. The answer is for the farm(,: to get so much information out of the reports that he can conduct his breeding, feeding, and marketing operations a little more intelligently in the future, and therefore more profitably than in the part. Markets Move in Cycles. Market reports are history, and the chief value of history is the basis which it provides on which to forecast the future. In other words, what has happened in the past will probably oc cur again under the same or similar circumstances. Small benefit is ienerally derived from reading a single market report, ore one covering a short period of time. Markets move in cycles, and the man who would keep informed must follow them diligently in season and out. This is a matter of particular importance.to the stockman, because his business is, to an unusual degree, a long-time speculation. le must prepare now and lay is plans today in the light of what 'he thinks the market will be anywhere from six months to tow years hence. But how will the department's report assist him in domg this? First of all, he should take into ac .EmEEEEEEEEEEEEE D U U U U U * I an U U o RA U U U U Sqan Del U U U U U U 'TE I N * ORS ES HIEEEUEE~mEEEt gount of live stock in which he is in terested. Assume that cattle is his line. The monthly report Stock at Stockyards, gives the numfler of cat tle andi calves marketed from month to month through 68 central markets. If such movements are unusually heavy for any considerable, time, it may indicate a cattle shortage during the next year or two, and a shortage of any commodity usually means high er prices. * * This same report also shows the number of cattle and calves that went back to the country as stockers and feeders. If such movements were ex ceptionally light, it would help to con firmt the belief that a com arative shortage in cattle was impending. On the other hand, heavy stocker and feeder shipments would go'a long way toward neutralizing the importance -of the heavy. receipts, for the stock man would know tnat most of these cattle going back to the country must be returned to market during the next few weeks or months and eifter con sumption channels. Having established in this fashion a broad basis for his operations, let us assume the stockman is feeding a lot of steers for the market. le must now give market reports more care ful and persistent attention than be fore. It is quite important that he know what kind of cattle are in best demand on the principal markets.

If, however, consumptive demand seems to be drifting steadily toward lighter retail cuts of meat, or, because f general business depression or some >thcr cause, is centering chiefly on the lower and cheaper grades, he may find it more profitable to market his cat tle at an earlier age and before they have attained great weight. Abundant information along this line will be found both in the live stock market reports and the reports lealing with meat-trade conditions In the large consuming centers. Keep Posted on Consumption In this connection the stockman will ilso be interested in keeping advised as to whether the slaughter of meat is increasing or decreasing and whe ther the movement applies equally to all classes of meat, or whether slaughter of beef is decreasing while that of some other class is increasing. This information is obtainable from the statistical report covering the live stock and meat situation, which is based oil the Federal meat-inspection reports of the Bureau of Animal In lustry and is also published monthly )y the Bureau of Markets.

PRICES OF FARM CROPS BELO)W PREWAR AVERAGE The prices of six of the important crops on May I of this year were be ow the prewar average prices for that late according to figures collected by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture. These crops are corn, oats, barley, [lax, potatoes, and cottcn. The report showed that the prices of the three Lcrains-wheat, rye, and buckwheat wvere above the prewar average prices. During April the average price of wheat declined from $1.50 to $1.23 per bushel. The report. shows that in xeneral the industrial crops, such as lax, cotton, and broom corn, are the most depressed in price, and that food rops, such as wheat, rye, potatoes, aind apples show relatively less de :ine. The prices in various parts of the country vary, with South Dakota be ing the center of the low-price district Lhe May I report shows. The aver agc price of wheat in that State was )0 cents per bushel, and in some counties it was as low as 70 cents. Corn was selling at an average price f 32 cents per bushel in South Dako ta, while the average price for the United States was nearly 60 cents. The price of oats was 23 cents per bushel in South Dakota, the average for the United States being 36.8 cents. The report showed a bigI decline in the price of old potatoes, especially in Michigan, where the average was 29 cents a bushel, which was 20 cents be low the average for the United States. 666 lis more imitations than any [)ther Fever Tonic on the market, but no one m ants imitatiom. ---o VA LUE OF MILK IN TIE DIET SHlOWN WVITII RAT EXIBlIT A striking exhibition of the value of milk in the diet has been prepared by Lhe Dairy Division of the United Sta tes Department of Agricultur(e for ttse in edlucat ionarl milk canmpa igns.
