A. Parkes Buys
Overman Ranch

ARCHIE PARKES, Vaughn Here
ford breeder, has purchased the
2,548-acre Overman ranch between
Augusta and Wolf Creek. The con-
sideration involved was revealed at
about $4,000.
Parkes said the new property will
be operated in conjunction with his
present ranch at Vaughn, where he
has more than 200 head of purebred
cattle. He will send about half of
the herd to the new ranch, which
will be directed by Earl Stewart.
Parkes purchased the new prop
erty from Mae Overman Zumwalt
and Oral H. Zumwalt, who have
owned the Lewis and Clark county
operation for several years. The
Overman ranch is located about
three miles from the new Rogers
pass highway, midway between Au-
gusta and Wolf Creek.
Parkes has purchased some of the
leading Herefords in the northwest.
Many of his animals have o top
prizes at leading stock shows in
Montana, Denver, Portland and
other cities. His second annual pri-
vate sale this year set a new record
average for Montana sales.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-01

RECORD FEED STOCKS are now
weighing down the markets, but a
tightening situation appears to be
shaping up in the year ahead. Sup
plies will decrease. Needs will in
crease. Prices for feed grains are
likely to be relatively stronger than
prices of the livestock products into
which they are converted.
Here are some of the main fea-
lures of the picture:
The nations store of feed con
centrates for this season is about
178, 10000 tons. That includes the
carryovers and new crops of feed
grains and the domestic wheat and
rye, the imported grain and the by
product foodstuffs that will be fed.
The supply is about 5 percent
more than last year and 18 percent
more than the 1938-47 average.
While the total supply is
larger. the free" supply. after
farmers are through placing
1s4s feed grains under the sup
port program. may be less than
last year.
Quality of the corr crop is high
so that more can qualify for a loan
than last year. Early movement of
oats and barley under loans has been
ahead of a year ago. 1t is reasonable
to expect that the total amount of
1949 crops that will be impounded
will be as large as last year.
If farmers do place as much as
18,O00,0 900 tons of 1949 feed grains
under loan or purchase agreement
in addition to the 1913 stocks owned
by the government or still under
seal, the free supply will be less
than 10000, 900 tons. 1t. may be only
about as much as the 100000 600
tons utilized in the past season when
9 ,000,0 900 tons were fed and H.
200, 900 tons used for other purposes
More Livestock. More Feeding
Livestock numbers, especially hogs
and poultry, have been expanding
in response to the abundance of feec
and favorable feeding ratios. In
of about 10 percent in. fal
pigs, 5 percent in spring pigs mex
year, 8 to 4 percent in laying flock
and small increases in cattle on feeC
and in milk cow numbers are prob
able.

time experiments, and is now in
wider use each year.
A man with a herd of stock cattle
badly infected with brucellosis will
be practically rid of the disease in
three or four years by shipping his
dry cows and yaccinating the heifer
calves each fall.
He can do it in one or two years
by running a blood test on the cows
and shipping the diseased cows in
addition to vaccinating. A man with
a herd of stock cattle without any
brucellosis, as far as he knows, will
still be ahead to vaccinate his calves,
because he builds up a herd immune
to Bangs disease, and the chance
purchase of a diseased COW is not
going to set his herd afire.
Getting Organized to Fight
We are slowly getting organized
to combat brucellosis on a county to
county drive in line with the drive
in other states. It may be a year
or two or three before countrywide
testing gets under way in Montana.
In the meantime there is nothing
that any stockman can do that will
make him more money than to get
his heifer calves vaccinated. He
may buy his own vaccine and vac
cinate his own calves. He may en-
ploy a practicing veterinarian to
Officially" vaccinate his calves, and
get a vaccination certificate.
Or, if a considerable number of
owners, representing quite a string
of calves can get together on a date
and make arrangements with a state
veterinarian in Helena, a deputy
state veterinarian will vaccinate the
calves at state expense, except for
the cost of the vaccine itself. Calves
so v~accinated will be marked as "of-
ficially' vaccinated.
But whether it is done this way Oh
that way, with the new vaccine o.
the old vaccine, the more heifel
calves we can get ~vaccinated thii
fall the less trouble there will b.
from brucellosis, and the fewer COW
win be found diseased when tn
herds are finally tested.

drop sharply, parity VIII not be
drastically lower than at present.
Support levels for oats and barley
are not mandatory, but if they are
supported, it is to be at levels in line
with their feeding value in relation
to corn. They probably will be sup
ported at levels 2 to 4 cents a bushe1
lower than this year.
The new law does not require
price support for livestock products
next year except for dairy products
which are to be supported at rs to
90 percent of parity. Support prob
ably will be given to other products,
however.
Government policy calls for en-
couraging livestock production to
permit improvement in diets. Hence,
if funds are available, support levels
for hogs and poultry and dairy prod
ucts probably will be at levels which
will maintain fairly satisfactory
feeding ratios.
Price Rise Possible
If expanding livestock require
ments and sustained commercial de-
mand are about equal to the sea-
sons feed grain supply outside the
loan stocks or those taken over by
the government, prices may rise
later in the season high enough to
bring some of these grains out from
under the loan.
Also, if the 1850 growing season
should be unfavorable, prices might
have to rise high enough to permit
the government to sell some of the
stocks it has taken or will take over.
Under the law, they can not be sold
for less than cost plus 5 percent and
the handling costs.
How much feed prices will
rise will depend partly on the
extent of the movement into the
support program. on the increase
in livestock production. on the
size of 1850 crops and on the
general trend of commodity
prices. But they are quite sure
to be relatively stronger than
prices of livestock products.
These conditions and prospect,
appear to warrant the following
steps to take advantage of the stu
alton:
1. Place surplus oats and barle,
as well as corn under loan or pur
chase agreement or hold back unit
later in the season.
2. If you a store it properly, bu,
cheap corr for feeding while it j
still selling 80 to 40 cents a bushe
below the loan.
3. Keep up full scale livestocl
, production, but prepare for some
what narrower returns over marke
prices for grain.
4. Substitute cheaper for higher
priced feeds wherever this can b
done without loss Of livestock out
put. Molasses is now selling i
wholesale lots at slightly over one
half its real feeding value in relatio
to corn.
Since protein feeds are relativel
higher-priced than feed grain, d
not overfeed protein, but avoid til
other extreme of underfeedinl
which is still worse. Use good Il
gume hay as far as practicable
save protein concentrates.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-01

Grain supplies per animal unit avail
able for feed this season are slightly
larger than last years high record. BY
product feeds and hay supplies per
animl are a little smaller than in either
of the last two years. Utilization of
grain, bYproduct feeds and hay per
animal unit has trended upward over
the last Is years.
substantially smaller than this year.
Acreage allotments for cor are al
most certain and probably will call
for a cut of II percent in the area
planted. Yield per acre may be down
also, if weather is more normal. This
years average yield of corr was
second only to that of 1913 and about
one-fourth better than the 1891
average.
Due to corr and wheat acreage
allotments, more oats, barley and
grain sorghums may be planted next
year.
, Support Levels
The price support level on the
1850 corn crop will again be at 90
percent of parity (old style). 1t prob
ably will be somewhat lower than
this year, but since prices of goods
farmers buy are not expected to
