Feeds-Dealers and feed mixers report re-
duced demand for poultry feeds.
Hay-Mild weather, large forage supplies

prospect, probably at prices above
the CCC buying schedule.
WHEAT-Prices generally will
fluctuate on a relatively high level
for the next month or two. Some
increases in sales by producers is
probable in the new year, but since
government purchases have been
small for several weeks, increased
offerings may be met by somewhat
larger demand. The final estimate
of the 1947 crop was cut to 1885,
100000 bushels, or 900 bushels
less than the previous estimate.
However, the 1913 winter wheat crop
was forecast at 839, 000, 600 bushels,
or considerably better than generally
expected.
Foreign aid Legislation requires
that exports be limited to permit
a carryover of not less than 1907
100000 bushels if the May l prospect
for winter wheat is not over 700,-
900, 1000 bushels. In view of the inn
proved 1913 crop prospect, the pre-
vious export program probably will
be maintained Notwithstanding the
lower 1947 estimate.
FLAXSEED-Fairly stable prices
appear probable. Producers who
have been holding because of the
tax angle probably will sell a little
more freely after Jan. 1. However,
many appear to expect higher prices
SO that the increase in offerings may
be rather small. New orders for lin
seed oil have been small for some
time and some increase in buying
may take place after the year-end
inventory taking. However, export
ALLEGATIONS of drying oils were re-
duced to 100000 pounds compared
with 49, 500. 900 in the fourth quarter
of 1947.
SEEDS-Out-turn of the six lead
ing hay-seed crops was finally
placed at one-fifth less than in 1916,
when record crops of alfalfa and red
clover seed were produced, but 2
percent above average. Alfalfa and
timothy seed supplies appear to be
sufficient for domestic and export

next two or three months probably
will be governed largely by severity
of the weather. Some weakness in
prices for the lower grades of al
falfa has occurred in the southwest,
as mild weather and beet-tops and
cornstalk fields have reduced re-
quirements and rains and SHOWS
have assured early spring growth
of pastures.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Production
is increasing slowly and probably
will soc start a seasonal price de-
cline. Recent production of milk has
been slightly below last year and the
lowest per person in the last 10
years. While consumption of milk
appears to be about equal to a year
ago, some consumer resistance to
current high prices for butter,
cheese and cream is apparent. Sales
of margarine are increasing. How
ever, butter production continues
about 20 percent below last year and
storage stocks of the better grades
have decreased rapidly and are now
nearly exhausted, so that consump-
ton has been fully equal to the
available supply.
EGGS-Declining prices are prob
able during the next two or three
months. Currently, they are being
maintained at high levels by mod
crate production, small storage re-
serves, good retail demand and pur-
chases of medium grades for export
to South America.
POULTRY-Prices probably will
advance during the next three or
four months. Receipts will decline
during the winter and early spring,
because of the reduced number of
young chickens on farms and the de-
crease in commercial broiler produc-
ton. November hatchery chick pro-
duction, which was mostly for broil-
ers, was "a percent less than in
1916, ~reflecting the unfavorable
feeding ratio. Competition from
other meats will decline toward
spring. Storage stocks, especially Of
hens, are extremely heavy and to-
tailed BIG, 700, 900 pounds on Dec. 1
compared with the 1942-46 average
of 256, 100000 for that date and will
temper market strength. Turkey
markets were generally firm during
the Christmas trade and storage re-
serves were drawn upon at some
points to meet the demand,
POTATOES-With the support
price advancing 20 cents per 100
pounds in January to the peak level
for the rest of the year, prices to
producers will be higher in those re-
gions where government support
purchases have been determining the
local market level. Elsewhere, main
ly steady prices are probable for the
nearby futures, followed by some
rise toward late winter. Offerings
probably will be rather heavy in
January by producers who have
been waiting for the advance in
support prices and for the new in
come tax year.
BEANS-Steady to slightly higher
prices are probable. Stocks in dis
tributing centers are reported to be
small and demand for early ship
ment probably will increase after
the inventory period around the first

Industrial production, personal in
comes and domestic consumer spend
ing are ending 1947 at OF close to
record peaks. Passing of the foreign
aid bill assures continuation of
strong buying of farm products for
export. Total demand is still giving
prices an upward shove.
The general level of wholesale
prices of farm products rose to a
new high record early in December.
Decreasing supplies of farm prod
ucts until the new crop harvests
start will tend to sustain upward
pressure on prices. The initiation
control legislation passed by con
gress and awaiting presidential APP
prevail or rejection will exercise only
slight restraint on prices.
Notwithstanding of the range
in cattle prices, which now meas
ures about $25 per 100 pounds at
leading centers, probably will be mi
of the major features of the cattle
market in the next four or five
months. Extreme long-fed prime
cattle, such as those which sold at
an all-time high of 500 at Chicago
in December, will remain scarce and
will continue to sell at very high
prices, if they are received.

ever, are likely to become more
plentiful. While the market for
these relatively short-fed cattle
probably will be an up and down
affair, because of uneven distribu-
ton of receipts from week to week,
the major change by spring is likely
to be a moderate decline in prices
for such cattle.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices
r likely to advance toward spring.
In view of the cutting down of cat
tie numbers in the last three years,
and the shutting out of Mexican
cattle, offerings are likely to be
smaller than in the last two or
three years, unless range conditions
are quite unfavorable.
HOGS-Prices probably will be
under pressure of heavy receipts in
the next two or three weeks but an
upward trend toward spring is like
ly to follow. Receipts probably will
drop off more than usual in late
winter. The pig survey showed about
6 percent fewer hogs over 6 months
old on farms on Dec. 1 than last
year, confirming previous indica-
tions that the crop has been going
to market early.
LAMBS-Higher prices are prob
able toward late winter and early
spring. Winter feeding of lambs APP
pears to be the smallest in Is years,
with increases over last year in
western Nebraska, Colorado, Utah
and California, and decreases in the
cornbelt and in the southwestern
wheat pasture areas, due to reduc-
tons in feed supplies. Cornbelt
feedlots appear to have about Is to
20 percent fewer lambs and the
wheat pastures of Kansas, Oklahoma
and the Texas Panhandle about rs
percent fewer than a year ago. Be-
of drouth, the condition OF
sheep generally in Texas is far be-
low normal.
WOOL-Steady to higher prices

Another Picture
Yet there is within my power an
other picture of my community 10
yea from now. In this picture it
has grown from a middle-sized place
to a thriving city. New and more
modern business houses have re-
placed the old. The noises of street
car, buses and autos can be heard
from all sides. Prosperous business
men stride down the street and NUT
ter, "Where can l hire another MANI"
For miles around the city attractive
farms and green fields set the scene.
The air of lassitude l once knew here
has been replaced by the stir of
growth and excitement. This pic
ture is what soil conservation can
mean to my community.
My second picture also began in
the present year, and with the same
flood. But after the flood had
drained away, the activity was much
different. AT a meeting of the towns
leaders the soil conservation needs
of &h2 oAt>opo11nitxx uroro Iicor1ccnd
1t was decided that experts on the
subject were needed to solve the
problems correctly. Several COM
petent men were obtained and set to
work.
The work of these experts began
in the surrounding hills. They
planted thousands of new trees so
that water and wind could not carry
away the soil. Then they studied
the land and strategically placed
check dams to control the spring wa
tiers. Logging was permitted, but
only in a scientific manne so that
the forests were not damaged.
Down in the valley another type
of soil conservation was taking place.
The experts canvassed the farms and
ranches and enlisted the aid of
everyone in the valley. They held
weekly classes on soil conservation
and modern farming methods. The
people were taught the Importance
of crop rotation; as well as the
proper method.
Soil Spirit Retained
And SO time progressed. A mini
mum of top soil was carried away by
spring floods. Windstorms did very
little damage because of protective
trees and underground. Each year
extensive campaigns were held to
eliminate forest fires. Business and
well being grew in the town, as did
beauty grow in the valley. My COM
munity became famous for its for
est, its streams, and its sports. Its
products were shipped out to the far
reaching markets of our great land
The valley kept its young look, its
young spirit and held the future in
its hand.
Yes, there is a future such as that
picture for my community. 1t only
needs a little care and study, a little
planning and work. Without thai
my community will be the ghost
town I first pictured. There is NJ
