As we go to press McDonough, 

 Livingston, and Christian are still in, 

 the race for the state Farm Bureau 

 baseball championship. McDonough 

 is assured of a place in the final 

 championship series by reason of its 

 victory over Carroll county in two 

 hard fought games, score 3 to and 

 1 to 0. The last game played at 

 Chadwick in Carroll county was a 

 pitchers' battle, McDonough scoring 

 its only run in the first inning. 



Livingston nosed out Christian 

 after trailing most of the way in a 

 slugging contest at Taylorville, 

 September 23. Errors by Christian 

 county in the seventh, eighth, and 

 ninth innings were responsible for 

 the loss of the game. Until that time 

 the Christian county boys were in 

 the lead 7 to 3. Each side drove out 

 13 hits. 



The second game of the series was 

 scheduled to be played at Wing in 

 Livingston county October 1, and the 

 third, if necessary, by October 5. An 

 effort is being made to start the 

 championship series on Saturday, 

 October 8, 



Farm Products Up 



2.5 Per Cent In Aug. 



Farm prices led the Labor Depart- 

 ment's index of wholesale commodity 

 prices with a gain of 2.5 per cent 

 from July to August. Increases were 

 recorded in the average prices of 

 barley, corn, rye, wheat, calves, poul- 

 try, cotton, eggs, hay, and peanuts. 



Decreases in the average prices of 

 oats, cows, hogs, fresh apples, lemons, 

 oranges, leaf tobacco, and onions 

 were shown for August. 



The Department reported increases 

 in food prices for butter, cheese, rye 

 and wheat flour, fresh and cured 

 beef, cured pork, veal, coffee, lard, 

 raw and granulated sugar, and most 

 canned vegetables. Average food 

 prices for August were 1.5 per cent 

 above July. 



It should be noticed that the additional amounts of tax which failure 

 of the bond issue would require of lands and improvements in each county 

 include some urban lands which are not used for agricultural purposes. 

 If it were possible to exclude urban lands from land assessments and if the 

 additional tax were computed both on farm land, including improvements 

 and on farm personal property, the amounts given above would be ap- 

 proximately correct for most counties, including those in which reduc- 

 tions in valuations have been made this year. Additional taxes which 

 would be required in Cook County can only be estimated since the 1931 

 assessment is not yet completed. ^
