First New Wheat On Market Here
The first new county wheat of the season reached the Frederick market on Wednesday with several hundred bushels entering the East South street plant on the season's opening day. Initial lots came from Earl Page's Buckeystown farm as moisture runs above normal and grain quality is only fair. Prices may run around 1.55 on the open market, with government loan sales near 1.90, subject to drying charges. Barley has totaled about 5,000 to 6,000 bushels, and harvesting for that grain nears end.

Ike Lands Red Cross at 26th National Convention
President Eisenhower addressed about 2,500 people at the Red Cross National Convention. He praised the organization as a key morale factor in peace and war and noted a unanimous resolution urging a full-scale publicity drive against a whispering campaign. Delegates cited reports of subversive rumors about blood and supplies and Red Cross investigations found many fabrications. In other actions, the convention endorsed the agency’s stance against joining broader fundraising drives. In a separate court matter, two motorists forfeited collateral in speeding and related charges.
