their honor.
slaughter and sluggish demand.
Persistent excess capacity and
competition caused price dec
lines for some plastic and
paint materials. Continued un
certainty concerning proposed
changes in raw cotton legisla
tion was largely responsible for
lower cotton textile prices.
Further seasonal expansion
in home construction boosted
lumber prices, particularly for
Douglas fir and other Western
softwoods and for some hard
woods.
Among the seven industrial
commodity groups whose in
dexes remained unchanged, pr
ices changed significantly for
some individual commodities.
Prices were raised for selected
finished steel products, but the
full effect of recently announ
ced changes was not registered
in the April index since a num
ber of changes were made too
late to be included in April pr
ice reports. Nonferrous scrap
and primary metals also aver
aged higher. Price increases for
metalworking machinery and
equipment were balanced bv
declines for some items of farm
equipment, electrical machin
ery and equipment, and motor
vehicles. Increased demand
raised quotations for sulfate
wood pulp, but the easing of
supplies following settlement of
the New York City newspaper
strike reduced wastepaper pr
ices.
A record high for sugar and
confectionery products due to
tightening world supplies of
raw sugar was chiefly respon
sible for the 0.4 percent in
crease in the processed foods
index. Also contribting to
the rise were higher prices for
canned and frozen fruits, pack
aged beverage materials, and
cereal and bakery products.
The farm products index re
mained unchanged, as higher
prices for livestock, caused by
decreased marketings in mid-
April, and for grains and fresh
fruits were balanced by sea
sonally lower prices for eggs,
fluid milk, hay, hayseeds, and
oilseeds.
Extension Leaflet
On Weed Control
Now Available
Using chemicals to control
weeds, a growing practice with
Georgia Farmers, is the subject
of a leaflet just releaseri by t h e
Cooperative Extension Service of
the College of Agriculture.
“Chemical Weed Control.” writ
ten by staff members of the Ex
tension agronomy department, is
available from cou”lj agents.
The leaflui is crammed with
up-to-date specific recommenda
tions for controlling weed pests
in major slate field crops. Among
its features are two tables — one
on chemicals and the dosages, the
other on sprayer calibration.
The Extension agronomists urge
farmers to see their county agent
for a copy of the publication and
for further information on weed
control with chemicals.
HARMONY
According to the Southern
Pine Association, home remod
elers should closely harmonize
the old and the new.
Additions should blend with
the inheicnt character of the
home. The new roofline should
compliment the old, and there
should be a proper blending of
windows and trim, with good
i balance over all. ।
