The lower west room of the Old Building was decorated in festive Hallowe'en decorations. Nearly everyone ev-eryone came in costume and seemed to enjoy the Hallowe'en tricks and ' games. All the teachers were present and they seemed to have as good a time as anyone. Refreshments, which . were served from a booth consisted of punch and wafers. Tenth Grade Report We have leen studying about pure air and pure water in our civics class. We learned that this, town has no means by which the water supply cam , be purified. This is a bad situation, for everyone knows that typhoid fever a much dreaded disease, is almost, if not wholly caused by contaminated water. . We al.s'o learned in class that tlie officers of the city of Duchesne will hold a meeting on Monday night, November No-vember 4th, so we elected a committee consisting of Mar Mickelson, Pearl Peterson and Ida Curran to attend this meeting to try to persuade these men to give us a water system whereby where-by we can feel safe from Ktich dreaded dread-ed diseases ns typhoid. ; We hope the citizens of tills community com-munity realize the need of a purified water sustem, and that they will aid us In obtaining it. THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT DEPART-MENT .OF AGRICULTURE SAYS: Crop prospects of wheat (ire Mill for a. production about 50l),(MM),()0 bushels short of last year's crop and for a total fctipply 300,000,000 bushels short. World market prices probably average 35 to 40 cents n bushel higher than those or last year, when Ttrltlsh parcels prices averaged 129 cents per bushel. Hogs The corn crop is an important factor fac-tor In the hog - situation and high prices may cause producers to market their hops earlier and and at lighter weights than usual during the marketing market-ing season. Iirge supplies of hogs In August and September caused prices pri-ces to move downward. Some further decline In hog prices may be. expected during the next two months, particularly particu-larly in the prices of lighter-weight hogs. The decline, however, is likely to be moderate, and prices will probably prob-ably Improve after December. Catle The general trend of cattle prices In September . was downward. ' ,The level was $1 to $2 below that of last September. The nntlook for the better bet-ter grade of beef steers Is good. Following Fol-lowing the heavy marketing of ' feed cattle In September, the iosltion of such cattle is more favorable, and prices pri-ces are likely to be maintained during the next two months. With more certainty cer-tainty as to the corn crop t lie demand for stocker ami feeder cattle from the Corn Belt States proba.My will improve im-prove and prices be maintained. On the other hand, no improvement expected In prices of the lower grades of butcher cattle until after the close of the grass cattle season the last or early In December. I Jimb Lamb prices fell in September to the lowest point in seven years, but that appears to have been the low, and some recovery Is to be expveted by the time the fed-lamb movement is well under way, A larger supply of alfalfa hay and beet feeds prol-ably prol-ably will result, in the feeding of more lambs in Colorado this winter than last, flhe improvement in the -r,rn crop may strengthen the demand for feeding lambs in October whirh may result. In some advance In prices. Strengthening the feeder lamb market mar-ket will also strengthen the market for slaughter lambs. Wool Domestic wool prices have been stable during the past month except for a small decliue In the price of somp fine wools. Foreign prices have continued to decline severely, however, how-ever, resulting in the widest difference differ-ence between foreign and domestic prices of recent years. The wool textile tex-tile Industries are rather quiet , i. Europe but active in the United States. Reports now ndicate a world wool clip not much different from the record clip' of last year. . , Butter Butter prices are continuing to advance ad-vance as visual In this season of the year. I'roductlou this winter may be less than last. Extremely heavy storage stor-age holdings, however, will prevent any rapid rise in prices. Butter, prices pri-ces probably will follow the usual seasonal rise but cannot be expected to equal those of a yeaftgo until late in the winter. The extent of the winter win-ter rise may be affected by foreign conditions. Poultry Poultry prices this fall are on a lower level than last year, reflecting the Increased quantities available for marketing as well as the increased amounts which have nlready moved to market. The seasonal decline proh ably will end by January or February, as usual. After the ieak of receipts has been reached, prices are generally expected to conihiijf somewhat lower than In the corresponding period of the past season. Eggs ; Egg prices should continue their usual seasonal price, reaching a peak In November 3 to (J cents higher than last, year, or a,' out the same as in 1927. |
