Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1929 Unfavorable Weather Keeps Market Strong Severe winter weather with insufficient snow covering was rather unfavorable for winter wheat in many sections of the interior, particularly in Kansas and Oklahoma, though nc extensive or widespread damage has been reported. This caused some uncertainty which strengthened the domestic market but the general situation is still dominated by the Unusually large supplies. The world's visible supply of wheat and flour, according to trade estimates, totals 565,680,000 bushels, or the largest amount since the war period. The Canadian wheat crop is now officially estimated at 533,570,000 bushels, which together with a carryover of 76,484,000 bushels August 1, indicates a total supply slightly over The grain market continued firm during the week ending1 January 26, influenced by unfavorable weather in the winter wheat areas of the southwest, which was reflected in a sharp upward tum in domestic wheat prices, according to the weekly grain market review of the U. S. bureau of agricultural economics. Feed grain prices also advanced under an active demand. The advance in the corn prices was less marked than during the pre- vious two weeks but the upturn in ' barley prices was more pronounced and amounted to 4 to 5 cents per bushel. Gephart Stores Co.

Domestic requirements last season, including feed, waste and unmerchantable grain, were officially estimated at about 123,000,000 bushels. If the same amount is taken for these purposes this season, there will be something over 485,000,000 bushels available for export or for carryover at the close of the season. Exports of wheat, including flour, from August 1 through December, totaled bushels. 243,000,000 approximately These exports, however, include shipments of Canadian wheat through the United States, a large percentage of which remains in store in this country. Of the 220,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat reported exported as grain, clearances from Canadian and United States seaboard ports have amounted io only about 140,000,000 bushels. Stocks of wheat in store in the markets are more than 50,000,000 uusneis larger man a year ago and reports indicate that farm and, mill stocks are also materially larger. The visible supply in Australia is about 32,000,000 bushels larger than at this time last season, according to trade reports. No official estimate is yet available for the Argentine crop but reports from private sources in Argentine place this season's harvest at from 310,000,000 to 320,000,000 bushels, which would give an exportable surplus of 230,000,000 to 240,000,000 bushels, compared with about 200.- 000,000 bushels shipped out from the 1928 crop. Little information is available relative to stocks in Europe but farm stocks in England and Argentina are reported materially smaller than last season, production in Spain, ac cording to a recent official estimate, was about 50,000,000 bushels smaller than a year ago. Low prices are ap parently causing increased consump tion, particularly in countries, which are taking larger amounts than usual, especially of the lower quality. Cash wheat markets were also higher but flour demand fell off some what at the higher prices, and only the best grades were in active de on hard winter mand. Premiums wheat at Kansas City were lowered 1 to 2 cents per bushel and No. 2 hard winter, 12 per cent protein was quoted in that market January 25 at 3 cents under the May price of 2 Vi ; 13 per cent protein of the same grade was quoted at 1 to 5 cents over the May. Low grades sold as much as 30 cents below the May price in ithat market; 12Vz per cent protein was $1.25 per bushel. Soft winter wheat held firm, principally as a result of the limited receipts. No. 2 red winter was quoted at Cincinnati at $1.49 to $1.50 and at Milwaukee at $1.33 to $1.38 per bushel. The spring wheat markets were rather dull for cash grain, although demand showed some improvement toward the close of the week at Minneapolis. Mills were reported to be supplying some of the needs from their own elevator stocks both at this market and at ether points, and stocks in store at the principal markets were further reduced during the week. Twelve per cent protein Jno. 1 dark northern was quoted at Minneapolis January 25 at from 1 cent under the May price of to 1 cent over; 13 per cent $1.23 protein brought 6 to 10 cents over and 14 per cent protein 16 to 20 cents over the May pnee. Ihe Winnipeg market advanced about Zxh cents per bushel. No. 1 northern Manitoba was quoted in that market at $1.26 per bushel. Durum wheats shared in the strength of other classes of wheat and the May price at Duluth advanced about 3 cents per bushel, closing January 25 at $1.11. No. 1 amber Durum, with 13 per cent protein, was quoted at both Minneapolis and Duluth at from about 5 to 22 cents over the Duluth May price. Pacific coast markets were also firmer but the higher prices havp restricted new export business. Mills were buying freely at Portland to cover export flour orders. Soft and western white wheat was quoted in that market at around $1.22 to $1.23 per bushel. The market was steady at San Francisco but farmers were not free sellers at the higher quotations. No. 1 hard wheat was quoted in that market at $2.15 per 100, or $1.29 per bushel, and No. 1 soft western white at $1.27V2 per bushel. The demand was only fairly active at Los Angeles, where No. 1 dark hard winter, in bulk from Utah and Idaho, was quoted at $2.15 per 100 or $1.29 per bushel. California Baart wheat, sacked, was selling at $2.25 per 100, or $1.35 per bushel; at Denver, No. 2 hard winter was bringing 94 to 98 cents per bushel, No. 2 northern spring 93 to 97 cents, and No. 2 soft white $1.07 to $1.12 per bushel.

DART FEEDING METHODS REDUCE FLAVORS Offensive Taste Due to One of Four Causes. J.C.PENNEYQ TREMONTON, UTAH Ecomonies That Will Appeal CPrtparad by the Bnltt4 State Department of rlcuUur.i While milk producers are giving considerable attention to preventing losses due to sour milk, they too rarely recognise that other flavors and odorg also cause an annual loss probably as great as that from sour milk Milk containing abnormal flavors and odors Is rejected by dealers and consumers. Abnormal flavors result mainly from four causes, according to C. J. R8b-cocof the bureau of dairy Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. They may be due to the physical condition of the cow, to highly flavored feeds and weeds, to the absorption of odors by the milk aftr It !s drawn, or to biological changes In the milk. If due to the condition of the cow or to feeds the objectionable flavors and odors will be noticeable Just after milking and usually will not Increase with time. Those caused by absorption develop only when the atmosphere Is permeated with pronounced odors, whereas those due to biological changes become more apparent after some time has elapsed. Feeds and n eeds Impart flavors and odors to milk mainly through the d body of the cow, although barn air may have some effect. The time of feeding, therefore, Is an Important factor to consider In preventing undesirable flavors In the milk, according to Eabcock, In most cases feeds do not flavor the milk except for a few hours, although some feeds, such as cabbage, when consumed In large quantities may still be noticeable In milk drawn 12 hours after feeding. For this reason, he says, highly flavored feeds should be fed Immediately after milking never Just before. When fed as short a time as one hour before milking, such feeds as silage made from corn, alfalfa, sweet clover, or soy beans ; and such feeds as green alfalfa, cabbage, turnips, rape and kale seriously affect the flavor and odor of milk. Green rye, green cowpeas, potatoes, drlcd-bee- t pulp, and carrots affect the milk only to a slight degree, whereas green corn, green oats and peas, green soy beans, pumpkins and sugar beets have practically no effect on the flavor and odor of milk. to ihe Thrifty Shopper Square Toes Trim Lines A New Style Note If you want something For Everyday abso- lutely new to go with your Spring clothes, try j strapped sllpperi with ctarsc ' Square Toes. tha $3-9- Could anything be neater for y hours than Plain Patent with Cutout motif fcf work-a-da- a beel w , $4.98 8 feed-tainte- & Social! speaking iUs Blot distinct sncceul ord and Patent in mo4umtfjt lif iettQ. $4.98 Trim Beauty for Dally Wet $4.98 Here You See Tomorrow's Style Grain Should Be Given Before Roughage Is Fed Most farmers who feed grain and good silage or alfalfa hay to their milk cows in the winter time have learned that it pays to feed the grain before the cows are given their roughage. Some cows relish silage so much that they will actually leave some of their grain In their troughs and clean up the silage. Four reasons are cited by practical dairymen why grain should be fed before the roughage Is fed. The first reason Is that heavy producing cows will get the concentrated grain feed that they need to maintain their production and their body, the second that the cows will relish the grain more when fed alone, the third tint they will produce more milk and but- terfat from a certain quantity of feed. end the fourth one Is thnt they will produce more during their entire lactation period. One pound of grain for each three pounds of milk produced per day Is the usual amount fed. Four to six pounds Is generally enough for heifers and eight to twelve pounds enough for mature cows. With the grain the cow should be eating about one pound of hay and three pounds of silage for each one hundred pounds she weighs, that is, a thousand pound cow would eat ten pounds of hay and thirty pounds of silage per day.

Newl To Work in Improved Feed Methods Always Most Profitable The selection of economical feeds, th Intelligent compounding of rations and the feeding of each cow In proportion to her production, constitute the principal factors in economical feeding. Trices of feeds vary greatly from time to time, so that In choosing those most economical the cost per pound of digestible mitrlents In various feeds should be considered. Under normal price conditions, roughage usually furnishes digestible nutrients more cheaply than concentrates; and feeds high in protein, such as cottonseed meal and oil moal, furnish digestible protein much more cheaply than low protein feeds, such as corn and oats.
