Wheat price slips as farmers stay hopeful in early market
Fifty years ago the best grade of wheat in the city sold for 2.20 per bushel, down from 2.30 the day before, with season highs at 2.70. Despite lower prices, area farmers hesitated to sell, hoping for a rebound as neighbors and the Independents Hose Company saved Otis King’s barn from a straw stack fire after five hours of effort. The Frederick circus returned after four years with a parade at 10:30 and shows at 2 and 8 pm on East Patrick Street near the Fairgrounds. County election supervisors planned to stay open until midnight to accept filings, with withdrawal and vacancy deadlines in late August and early September. Captain Magaha announced farewell orders for the Frederick Salvation Army leaders, who will depart August 23. The County Wide Swim Meet at Baker Park produced four pool records for youth events.
