Steel Consumers Sent
Notices Of Cutbacks
In February Quotas
Nv the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Notices
are going out this week to steel
consumers Of drastic cutbacks in
their February allotments OF steel,
according to the Iron Age, national
Woodworking weekly.
The cutbacks vary widely with
different products and different
companies.
Quotas for fiat-rolled products
such as plates, sheets and strip
are being slashed mostly deeply,
the magazine says, some as much
as so per cent.
The magazine said in order to
fill plate requirements many mills
now producing sheet and strip
would have to switch to plate pro-
duction.
And that, the magazine adds
would cause deeper cutbacks in
sheet and strip.
The magazine said defense Or
ders which had been picking up
slowly are expected to increase by
leaps and bounds soon after the
first of the year.
The magazine says the final fig
ures on production will show the
industry will have produced a rec
ord OF about 96.9 million net tons
OF ingots and steel for castings
When converted into finished stee,
products this will amount to about
TIT million net tons.
Ingot production, Irong Age
says. will be about 7 million tons
greater than any previous year, in.
cluding war years.

Demand for Radio-N!
Helps Block General
Decline Of Market
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The
three-day price advance in stocks
ran head on into selling difficult
ties today.
Strong demand for radio tele-
vision and distillers' stocks was
the only support that prevented
the market from going into a
general price decline.
Rails, steels and motors tilted
downward. Aircrafts, mail order
and mining shares also were on
the weak side, while oils. utilities
and chemicals were mixed.
Losses ranged from a few cents
to around a dollar a share, while
a few of the better gamers tackled
on as much as 81.
A report that the Government
would hand out contracts for
electronic equipment totaling
more than SIS billion to television
and radio manufacturers next
year sent radio-TV issues soaring.
Gains in this group ranged from
around go cents to 50 for Zenith.
In the days biggest single
transaction, Kansas City Power g.
Light moved "a higher at 24b
on an exchange of $4,000 shares.
Lower prices were paid for
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
General Motors, Montgomery
Ward. Douglas, United Aircraft,
Homestake Mining, American Can,
American Woolen, Union Pacific,
Nickel Plate and Gulf Oil.
Among the better performers
were Schenley. Distillers Corp
Seagrams, Hiram Walker, Emer-
son, American Cyanamid, Warren
Petroleum and U. S. Gypsum.
Railroad loans edged higher in
the bond market. There was lit
tie activity in United States
Treasury obligations and prices
generally were unchanged.

Tough Times for Coyotes
1880 Has All But Wiped Them Out
By LARRY GILL

to his death from rifle in the hands of the
hunter who blew the whistle.
Real Trouble in l947
Then in 1947 things really got bad. On
his favorite knobs, at the crossroads of his
favorite trails, at several spots on his own
private hunting grounds were tempting bits
of his special dish, horse meat No coyotes
ever ate of these and lived. They had no
chance to talk about their operation; they
just ate and that was that.
After eating the poisoned bait coyotes
take off at a highly accelerated pace for
parts unknown. Therefore, it is impossible
to get an exact record of deaths, but here
is an example of how their numbers have
diminished.
In Montana there is an average of some
40 government hunters who spend full time
keeping not only coyotes but gophers,
ground squirrels, bobcats and other preda-
tory animals under control
In 1916, before the new poison was used,
they trapped, denned, shot or otherwise
killed total Of 1929 coyotes. In 1949, after
the new poison had taken its toll, approx
mately the same number of man hours were
spent, but the take was only 2,127.
There just weren't as many coyotes to
trap, den or shoot. The above figure does
not take into please turn to page ~
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-01-15

TIMES ARE TOUGH these days-for
coyotes. Since the days when we master
minded the buffalo and Indian situation,
the coyote has continued to make living
for himself at our expense.
In spite of his preying on our domestic
livestock and wildlife we must still admire
him for his cunning and adaptability, his
ability to stand up and take everything that
man dished out and then come back for
more, in ever increasing numbers. That is,
until just couple of years ago.
Man put reward on his head The re-
peating rifle and high powered cartridges
took their toll Shotguns fired from low
flying planes cost him hundreds of cousins.
Dogs, trained to hunt and kill him, were
used; strychnine and thallium poison gave
him fast and fatal bellyaches.
Fatal Curiosity
His natural curiosity was fatal, too, for
checking up on bit of wool might pull the
trigger on a concealed device filled with
cyanide compound. And if these were not
enough, then man invented wolf whistle
even more ingenious than is heard on most
any downtown street corner, device which
sounds like a wounded rabbit and brings q
coyote racing for the final kill But he raced

nica1 personnel, until the new
construction projects are near
ing completion-which will prob
ably not be in less than a year."
