100000 Cattle,
New Record, Forecast
On Farms in 1943
Agriculture Department
Expects Peck Golf Crop
OF 81, ,000, 900
Wide World,

Wide World.
CHICAGO, Aug. There will be
approximately 100000 head Of
cattle on farms and ranches At the
beginning OF l943, the largest num-
Der on record, the Agriculture De-
partment estimated today In its
review of the agricultural situation.
This would compare with 75,000,-
600 head at the start of l942 Much
of the increase will be In the great
central plains.
The department said the lS42 calf
crop was probably the largest on
record approximately $4,000, 900
head, compared to 81 900 900 head
in 1941 and 30,000,O00 head In 1910.
Looking at the marketing situa-
ton, tne department said large
numbers of cattle which ordinarily
would have been bought for further
feeding were going to slaughter In
stead. This should result in a con-
siderable increase in slaughter this
August-November, as compared with
last year, the department prophesied.
Livestock men said the practice Of
selling cattle without additional
feeding meant that the tonnage OBJ
tanned from such cattle would not be
as great as If they had been fed.
Also, trade sources said, they would
not be of prime quality.
A sustained demand from Eastern
shippers-the beef shortage is moro
pronounced along the Atlantic sea-
board than elsewhere-supported
the cattle market this week. Better
quality offerings were most In de-
mand. advancing about Is cents.
Medium and low grades. however,
lost about an equal amount.
After breaking sharply In reaction
to the lowered price the Agricultural
Marketing Administration will pay
for lease-lend pork, hogs recovered
somewhat later to close the week
about 10 cents lower.
Native and Western spring lambs
closed Is to rs cents higher.
