ings were worked out in conjunction
with representative groups Of pro-
ducers and OPA before submission
to Secretary Of Agriculture Claude
Wickard.
Beef producers were assured by
OPA that this agency would take no
steps to discourage normal feeding
and marketing of livestock.
while feeders must exercise nor
NAL caution and avoid paying high
prices for their feeders" said Dep
uty OPA Administrator Galbraith,
1.-The working out of ceilings will be
undertaken in close consultation
with producers and with a full and
complete. recognition of the market
relationships involved"
He said further that feeders who
buy carefully may look forward to
the coming year with confidence"

She is orphaned, my husbands
