Livestock Situation
Reviewed By Co.
Agent FIesCh
By County Agent Larry Flesch


By County Agent Larry Flesch
The livestock. especially the
beef cattle situation. is confused
at present. since OPA controls
have been reestablished.
The following are the dates
when price controls became eff
fective:
Livestock, September l.
Packing plants, September l.
Wholesale levels, September S.
Retail butcher shops. Septem-
Der 6.
The ceiling prices announced
are:
Cattle $SO.25, hogs sl6.25,
lambs $40 per hundred, live VT.
Retail prices will go up from 3
to 6 cents per pound above the
former ceilings on June 80. High
er price ceilings on livestock
were established for these reas-
ons:
l. 1t IL believed that more cat
tie would be marketed through
the regular established channels.
2. Parity price adjustments
will not have to be made later.
3. There will be a sharp price
jump when price controls go Oft
next June 80 or before.
In the light of this confused
situation each livestock operator
will need to consider carefully
several points to decide his own
marketing problem.
First. ranchers generally can.
not risk carrying over an excess
number of stock in relation to
their feed supplies, while wait
ing to get few cents extra pro.
fit in case prices 20 higher in
late fall and winter.
Experienced ranchers in Ola.
cier County can recall many win
tiers when it would have been
more profitable to hsve their eat
tie numbers in balance with feed
on hand.
Another point to consider is
that most ranch operators have
experienced good profit in the
cattle business during the past
year This year. doesn't appear
to be good year to gan BILE for
the very highest dollar of profit.
Taking a risk by waiting for
higher prices may be all right for
the rancher who is in a very
good financial condition.
We should remember that the
new ceiling prices for beef cat
tie are much above the 1919
peak.
Still another point to consider
is the small hay crop for sale in
Montana. The total hay pro-
duction for 1916 in Montana is
rs per cent of that produced in
l945.
Hay is now selling for $40 to
$50 per ton in many parts of the
state. In the light of the feed
situation, we must keep in mind
another fact:
Cattle numbers for Montana
at the present time are the high
est on record. The inventory
value of all cattle in Montana is
about 100 million dollars, COM
pared with the 1910 value of So
million dollars.

real fact finding and revelation OF
other financial secrets it wishes to
keep hidden, will also cast over
board it's opposition to C1O wage
demands provided some of the in
creases are passed on to the gen.
eral public in the form of higher
prices.
It seems that Messrs. Truman
and Bowles will have to back down
on prices to avoid a tieup. 1t is un-
thinkable that Mr.. Truman has the
strength of will and the political
power and influence to fight out the
wage-price issue with management.
He barked at the unions but in
stead of their getting frightened,
they barked back and called him in
so many words a fascist.
He sent management polite let
ter concerning the fairness of open
book fact-finding but management
in substance called him a Commu-
mist trying to destroy free enter
price. The Democratic politicians
inside and out of congress are get
ting worried and when politicians
get worried they look for the easiest

This determined opposition means
that Mr.. Truman will not be able
to obtain the aid of congress in COM
pelling a company to open it's books
so that the facts in wage dispute
can be determined. The national
business opposition also means that
Mr.. Truman can't be certain of the

The surplus properties situation
still remains far from desirable.
The chief difficulty is that veterans
are not being permitted to buy the
articles in small quantities, and
until some method is worked out to
facilitate small purchases the sale
of surplus goods will not benefit
most veterans. Pressure is on to
break this bottleneck.

So heavy is the influx of vets into
some schools that these institutions
are giving preference to returning
service men in the matter of dormi-
tory space. In many instances the
actual matriculation of veterans in
relation to previous estimates has so
far outrun expectations that the
schools are discouraging the entry
of other students in order to handle
the load. 1t is encouraging to note
that Negro veterans are maintain
ing a high record of scholastic entry
all along the line.

FIRST SNOW

Jneau's first snow of the fall sea- son struck here Sunday morning, starting about g o'clock. There was from liz to 2 inches and the kids dug up their sleds, took the rust off the runners and with whoops slid on all available hills, mostly on the sidewalks however, although Indian street was big mecca for the youngsters.
 Auto trafficking was hazardous and many put on skid chains.
 Then there was little rain mix cd in with the snow, and also a high wind added to discomforture.
 Then it got slushy and slippery.
 Then early this morning on the up streets especially, there was a freeze and incidentally some slip ping and some bumps.
