Year's Soybean Crushings for Oil Reach Alltime Record of 252 Million Bushels Exports On Beans Are Up Too, Says Survey By PMA KANSAS CITY, Mo. ings of soybeans for oil, October 1950 through September 1951, were nearly 30 per cent above the previous record and totaled 252,000,000 bushels, the Production and Marketing Administration here reports. Exports of nearly 28,000,000 bu were more than double those for 1949-50. Supplies of soybeans for 1951-52, from present indications will amount to 275,000,000 bu. or the second largest of record Farm prices of soybeans las season averaged $2.81 per bu which was 64 cents higher than the previous season.

A crop of 271,000,000 bu. of soybeans was indicated by Oct 1 conditions. This would be the second highest of record, exceeded only by last year's 2J37.000, 000 bu. The 1940-49 average is 179,000,000 bu. The indicated yield of 20.7 bu.

per acre is above average but 0.9 below las year. The soybean acreage for harvest as beans in 1951 was estimated at 13,102,000 acres or slightly less than last year. Frost damage to late planted beans in Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebrask; and drought in Ohio and the South Atlantic states were the principal factors in the reducec yields. Near record yields were indicated in Illinois and Indiana Stocks of old soybeans on Oct 1, amounted to a little over 4,000000 bu. or about 1,000,000 more than in any of the three previous years.

Of the Oct. 1 stocks 2,600,000 were on farms with a little over 500,000 each at terminals and at processing plants. Supplies of soybeans for 195152 based on Oct. 1 stocks and October production estimates amount to 275,000,000 bu. compared with 290,000,000 for 195051 and 234,000,000 for 1949-50.

Supplies of soybeans for the 1950-51 season were estimated at 290,000,000 bu. However, disap pearance during the season totaled 304,000,000 bu. Included in this disappearance were seed requirements of 18,000,000, exports of record crushings of farm use for feed of over and a carry-over of 4,000,000 bu. With the early maturing of the 1951 crop a somewhat larger quantity of new soybeans was crushed this September than in September 1950. The Crop Reporting Board of the Mexico (Mo.) Evening Ledger Page Nov.

20, 1951 Jackie Lee Bureau of Agricultural Economics has stated that these data are being analyzed and will be considered in revising the 1950 production estimate which will be published in December. In addition to the soybeans exported last season, 475,400,000 Ibs. of soybean oil, which is equivalent to 54,000,000 bu. of soybeans, were exported in the 1949-50 season. Soybean, prices did not drop seasonally in a continued urgent demand and smaller marketings.

Farm prices averaged $2.62 per bu. in October compared with $2.59 in $2.03 hi 1950 and $2.26 September 1950. Farmers placed a little less than 15,000,000 bu. of the 1950 crop under price support, which was about 1,000,000 less than was placed from the 1949 crop. The average support price for the 1951 crop is $2.45 per bu.

for No. 2 soybeans compared with $2.06 for the 1950 crop. The margin between the market price of oil and meal obtained from a bushel of soybeans and the cost of soybeans averaged 31 cents last season. This compares with 25 cents for the 1949-50 season and 48 cents for 1948-49. The margin in October 1951 averaged 49 cents as against 40 cents in October 1950.

These calculations are based on average outturns calculated from Bureau of Census reports and on the following prices: Average price of oil at central western crushing plants, bulk price of 44-per-cent protein meal at Decatur, and market price of No. 2 Yellow soybeans at Illinois country points.

Barry County Draft Board Classes National Guardsmen 1-A; Unit to Fight Ruling To Top Gardener? Jackie Lee Cline, photographed at 1003 E. Monroe September 15, entered in Ledger Photo Contest by Mrs. W.

L. CulJen, 1014 E. Monroe st. Fultonian Real Hunter Of Big Game FULTON Lining his sight up on deer, and occasionally on bear and elk, has become one of the biggest thrills imaginable for Sam D. Ellis of Fulton in the past ten years or so.

Ellis is better known around this area, and to customers in other states, as an electrical contractor, but lis display in the window of his jusiness place is calling attention to his extra-curricular fol- owing. "There are five or six other 'ellows who hunt with me who lave done as well," he points out while displaying his trophies of past hunts. He adds that there are many others around who lave much more to show for the they have spent hunting 'big" game. But there are few who have )reserved their specimens as Elis has done. In his shop window, 113 West Fifth Street, are the heads or antlers of a 12-point buck, a 0-point buck, two S-point bucks, a doe, and an elk, plus two bear kins, one of which has been made into a rug.

The big deer were bagged in Colorado, the elk and bears in and the other deer in Missouri. Ellis, when asked about the ange when he shot the bears, kes to claim: "Well I was hunt- Jig in Colorado for deer and made an awful long shot. By the ime I got to the fallen buck, a 'ear was enjoying the carcass. I shot the bear. Then I found was in Wyoming." Someone remarked that that tory was about as good as the )ne about the man who always jpured salt into the barrel of lis gun because the kills he made were so far away that he didn't want the meat to spoil jefore he could get there.

Actually Ellis does most of his hunting in Missouri and Col- and although he failed to a deer in Missouri this year did bring back an 8-point buck from Colorado. "But then," he quickly added 'every member of our party got a deer on that trip." Those who usually go to Col jrado or Wyoming with Ellis are Walter B. Branstetter, Orville and Frank Hazelrigg, George Mitchell of McCredie, Ed Keuhn of Jefferson City (the contractor ivho built the new fraternity houses at Westminster College), ind Mr. Merkle of the Motor of Columbia. Hunting bear in Wyoming is sport that is not enjoyed too often by Ellis, but this past spring he brought down a 300- pound brown bear at a range of ibout 400 yards.

The pelt has made into a rug. "We have to use horses to reach the bear country around Jackson Hole, Wyoming," he explained. "Hunting at an altitude of 10,000 feet, we generally ride about 15 miles each way, going out and coming back, then bunk down in the ranch house for the night. We have a guide but we don't track bear. We depend on our eyesight to spot them then work our way into range.

We horses as far as possible before continuing the hunt on MONETT, Twenty-seven members of Battery Monett's national guard unit, received cards from the Barry county selective service board notifying them that they had been reclassified as 1-A from 1-D. This caused considerable concern as the guardsmen here believed their classification was 1-D, which, in essence, is physically a 1-A but their status as draft material is delayed because of membership in the na- guard. In certain cases national guardsmen are given a delayed classification, but Harry Davies, Monett member of the draftboard, said an amendment to the Selective Service law was very specific that all eligible men will have to serve their armed forces enlistment before they reach the age of 25 years and nine months. Those who joined the national guard before they were 18 years and six months old, before June 1, 1951, will be classified 1-D, Davies said. Also those who went to the national guard from a reserve component and Who have served in an armed forces unit for 90 days will be 1-D.

i Others will be allowed to serve out their national guard enlistment and their call will be postponed one year, or until they reach the age of 25 years, nine months, whichever occurs first, Davies said. Davies said the intention of the 1951 amendment was to eventually call all eligible men if their unit was not alerted. This law made radical changes in the status of reserves and na-' tional guard members, Davies said. The local guard members, of course, will be given an opportunity to present their case before the Barry county board, if they are called, the board member stated. The chances are that some of the members of Battery will receive their "greetings" soon.

Davies said that the county was short on their last quota and a call for November 29 is four or five men short, he said. On the other hand, Capt. Marion Pilant, commanding officer of the local unit, said that he recently received an interpretation of the law from the Missouri adjutant general that any member of the national guard who enlisted before Jan. 1, 1951, should be classified 1-D, if their drill records were satisfactory. The adjutant general also stated that anyone who enlisted after July 1 was 1-A, unless they were less than 18 years, six months old.

inose enlisting in the guard between Feb. 1 an July 1, 1951, are 1-A and called in turn, but deferred one year. Capt. Pilant said that he would fight the Barry selective service board interpretation "to the He said that many of his men had perfect drill practice records and the drafting of such men tends to break up the unit. Gov.

Forrest Smith recently made a proclamation holding the national guard intact, Capt. Pilant said he understood. This, he belives, would make the guardsmen classification 1-D Warrant Officer Bill Bridges and Sgt. Norris Crouch conferred with the secretary of the board this morning and they believe definitely that the Barry board is wrong in reclassifyir.g the national guardsmen, along with reserves, over the county Bridges said that Lawrence, Jasper and Newton ciunty boards made the same interpretation as the guard officers here. Bridges also said that two test cases of national guardsmen had been taken to selective service headquarters in Jefferson City and there the men were classified 1-D.

The supplies of materials and mortgage money are the chief worries of builders and Washington, according to a national housing survey in a business magazine. The nation's builders are worried about the supply of mortgage money which Washington claims will be adequate. On the other hand, Washington is worried about the supply of materials which builders say will be in good supply. Reporters find builders ready to go full-speed ahead with as many houses as they can sell and the buyers can finance. The collision with Washington's viewpoint will come when the industry tries to start so many houses it threatens to outrun the supply of copper, steel, and other materials.

Materials allocators say that will happen next spring.
