When answers came FROM IL
young men selected by a news
paper interviewer to defend their
sex, there were evidence of bit
terness in their tones.
The young men noted that, be-
cause of Germany's postwar ex-
cess OF women over men, female
companionship was easy to find.
But some complained that
"allied men Occupation soldiers)
are preferred" and others that
their small wages would not per-
NIT them to court girls with
cigarettes and chocolates, which
are very expensive in the black
market.
A young boxer observed that
nowadays many girls seem will
ing and eager to court the man"
but he was hesitant about mar
riage because sit appears too
many married women are I'M
faithful now"
A journalist complained that
'"all the girls now want to talk
about the great love and mar
riage" and added: 'Tn these

OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR PRODUCERS
State Marketing Specialist
Predicts Good Prices
For Meats

North Carolina producers have
little cause for worry over the cattle
market at this time. according to
T. L. Gwyn, cattle marketing
specialist with the N. c. Agricul-
tue Department.
He says that every few choice
cattle are produced in North Car
olina. Livestock feeders in this
State generally grow what is
known as "short-fed" cattle, feed
ing from 60 to 100 days, with the
product grading medium TO low
good, seldom higher. Pricers for
lower grades are holding.
'It is reasonable to suppose that
producers Of these medium to good
cattle will continue to receive fair
prices, certainly until the season
ally heavy fall movements begin in
September and October" says
Gwyn.
According to figures released a
few days ago by the Bureau OF
| Agricultural Economics. the num-
Der of cattle on feed as of January
| was considerably larger than a
year ago and a great deal greater
than the average covering the peri
cd from 1941 to 1915.
Gwyn r e m j n d S livestock pro-
ducers to keep in mind the fact
that the greater part OF this in
crease was in cattle weighing from
800 to 900 pounds. He thinks it is
doubtful, therefore, that there has
been any great increase in the ton
mage of beef produced, and $50
long as buying power continues
strong, retailers should not be
forced to contend with a very much
price resistance"
Gwyn expects a sharp drop in
cattle prices next ALPHABETICALLY
if there should be a short corn or
hay crop this season. Feeders
should look into the feed situation
rather thoroughly before making
their fall purchases.
SHEEP
GWyn says that sheep producers
have little to fear in the way of
declining prices. Fed lambs have
remained consistently high in
price, and these high prices are
expected to be reflected in the in
rorooc from tho coJo IF NORTH rov.
DINA lambs this spring and
summer.
While prices have declined for
pork during the past two months,
this has been due to seasonal
marketings and the sale of the I'M
finished product, it is hardly proba-
BILE that any serious decline in hog
prices will occur until after another
years production is ready for
market.
"This could hardly take place
before late eall." says Gwyn.
MORE MEAT
The decline in exports and Army
requirements will increase the
supply OF all meats for domestic
consumption, and the per capita
consumption of m e a t during 1947
will be much higher than last year,
Gwyn reports, adding, however,
that prices are not likely to decline
to any great extent from present
levels unless there is a general
breakdown wages and a very
