Pace Eight THE GAZETTE. SUIVtNER. IOWA Thursday, June 19, 1941 Announce No. 11 Will Be Renumbered Soon Will Hccomc Part of Stime Highway Through Illinois Into Kentucky 11 is to bo rfi-numbfTcd State fiy No. 150 and made a part of thfou'eh rnulo from Calmur to Dnv- cnprul.

the new bridge there continuing on through Illinois into Kentucky, according to A. A. Hurst of tine Town Stale Highway commission, who made Ihis nnnounce- mpnt to members nf a delegation from West Union who conferred with the i nmmission Tuesday, says the Fayettc Co. Union. The new number has been voted by the commission and the signs will be put in place as soon as (hey can be secured from the manufacturer.

This will give West Union a second main route as No. 18 now reaches from the Mississippi river to the South Dakota line east and west. The new No. 150 will replace No. 11 from Calmar to Cedar Rapids, will then follow No.

30 to Stanwood, replace 38 to Tipton and No. 74 to Davenport. At Davenport it crosses the Mississippi on the new bridge and continues on Illinois No. 150 to Kentucky. This route will probably be continued on past Calmar to the Minnesota line, Mr.

Hurst stated, although the present program calls for continuing it on only to Calmar. This is not a part of the Heart of America route discussed in West Union about a year ago, but its purpose is much the same, to give the town a second through route, running north and south, rather than a short section of a slate route. CHURCH NOTES Frozen Molteds Must Be Frozen by July Passage by the legislature of the setting up standards for frozen malted milk will make the entire law pertaining to ice milk, imitation ice cream and similar frozen more enforceable, state department of agriculture authorities predicted Wednesday. Up to now enforcement has been handicapped, Secretary of Agriculture Mark G. Thornburg observed, by defects in the present law.

The new frozen malted milk regulations, along with those banning the use cl sulphites in hamburger, go into effect July 5. Alter that date a frozen malted milk must contain at least seven per cent milk fat, 14 per cent milk solids, 3 per cent malted milk, not more than cne-half of 1 per cent of edible gelatin or vegetable stabilizer and "in no c-Ese shall frozen malted milk contain less than one and three-tenths pounds of total food solids per gallon or weigh less than four and one-half pounds per gallon." If they contain less than 7 per cent, by weight, of milk fat they shall be sold only in the manufacturer's original package or wrapper and plainly labeled, "Imitation frozen malted This, said officials, will prevent practices now prevalent of dumping a frozen malted milk which is below the required standards, in a mixer, churning it up, and selling it over the counter as real malted milk. It will also prevent the substitution cf frozen malted milk for ice cream, in cases where the dealer is out cl the flavor ice cream asked but hes it in frozen malted milk. Frczen malted milk in the future, under the new law, will be frozen malted milk and nothing more. The present law lumps regulations regarding the sale of frozen malted milk with ice milk and imitation ice cream, a factor which has prevented strong enforcement, officials said.

Reporting on the general farm outlook, the monthly publication of the Iowa State college ertension service said that while prices for some farm products may remain at the same level or fall off slightly, sharp increases are expected in others.

Prices received by Iowa farmers rose two points on the price index barometer from April 15 to May 15, while no change occurred in the prices paid by Iowa farmers for commodities used in living and in production. The index showed that prices for meat animals remained unchanged, but that dairy products commanded a price level of 135, nine points above the previous month's average. Poultry and egg prices rose from 111 to an index rating of 116. The outlook by commodities is: Hogs: Prices are expected to soar considerably above present levels, due to the smaller numbers of marketable pigs on hand, and the fact that more sows are being bred for fall farrow, which will take them off the summer market. Corn: Although the new 85 per cent of parity loan provision will lave an important influence on corn prices during the next feeding season, the most important influence will be the size of the 1941 crop.

The present outlook is that livestock feed- ng ratios will be favorable next year, even the 85 per cent of parity loan the 1941 crop is above average. Dairy products: Although production of dairy products is at its highest point in history, greater consumer demand and the government price luarantee has strengthened prices. Imports of dairy products have gone down since the start of the war, and while exports have risen rapidly, further increases are likely. Poultry: Egg prices will undoubtedly continue well above last year's jrices during the remainder of 1941. Stronger consumer demand plus the policy of the government to support egg prices by direct purchase will ceep prices up.

Chicken prices have seen averaging higher than a year earlier, and probably will continue average above last year's levels, even though marketings are likely to ncrease in the last half of the year. Cattle: The seasonal rise in prices 'or the better grades of feed cattle during the last half of the year will be smaller than usual if producers do what is expected and dump larger han usual numbers of cattle on the market during the later months. Lower grades may hold steady or decline only slightly during the last half of the year. PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs.
