was paid for 373-pound Colorado
calves in November.
Although the hog market fell to
lowest points since 1916, the aver
age price in Chicago for the year
was $500, only five cents below
the 1949 average and still above
OPA ceilings. Average weight in
Chicago was 260 pounds, full 16
pounds over the country's average.
This range was due to much wild
er outlets in Chicago for heavy
pigs. The 1850 peak was higher
than for the previous year. This
was reached in August when $25.-
so was paid, highest price in two
years.
Unprecedented prices wer e
reached in the sheep market as
the country's sheep population
dwindled to the lowest in record
history. The average of $27.05 was
the highest ever recorded and
$2.65 higher than 1949. Chicago
prices attracted a larger share of
the country's supply. While fewer
sheep were butchered over the
whole country, receipts in Chicago
increased over 1949. The all-time
record of $3.50 was set here in
December. Market officials state
the average now is about $500
above last year.

CIVILIAN ACTION BLUE-PRINTED
IN Event OF AN ENEMY ATTACK

A blue print for civilian action
in the event of an enemy attack
has been prepared and distributed
throughout the state.
DR.. John p. Porterfield, Chief
of Civil Defense Health Services,
authored the plan, printed
bulletin entitled, Civil Defense
Health Services" The booklet
closely parallels a federal book
let on civil defense recently re-
leased in Washington covering
germ warfare, atomb bomb, nerve
gas, etc.
Other booklets are to be issued
in Ohio. They win cover hospital
operations, mortuary services, Red
Cross services, diagnosis and
treatment of radiation sickness,
protection against meteorological
warfare, and similar topics.
No Time To Lose
Ohio has no time to lose and
no reason to be complaisant, the
phamplet warns This state is
highly industrialized and offers
numerous possible targets for en-
emy action, it declares. The Ohio
plan accepts as a premise that at
tack, if it comes, will be without
warning.
Copies of the booklet are being
mailed to key civil defense persons
through the state.

Modern Tools
Cut The Cost

The automobile people figure it
would cost $4,000 to make a mod
ern automobile with the tools and
methods used in 1910 Thanks to
machines and mass production,
the price has been cut 30 times,
and now nearly everyone can own
a car and some 10000 people
have jobs making cars, parts and
accessories.
Actually, when machines re-
placed hand labor in auto-making,
millions of new jobs We're created.
Nobody knows just how many
steelmakers, rubber workers, and
gasoline and oil people owe their
jobs to the automobile. And count
less thousands more are building
roads or running roadside stands
which couldn't exist but for the
automobile.

Highest Meat
Record Seen At
Chicago Yards

CHICAGO - The coming year
will bring the largest meat pro-
duction since war time peaks, ac-
cording to market spokesman at
the Chicago Stock Yards.
Rising cattle and hog popula-
tions coupled with increased de-
mands deriving from war and de-
fense should bring next years to-
tai to around 23,500, 100000 lbs,
highest since 1914 and a billion
and half pounds greater than
last year.
The fourth largest dollar vol
ume for livestock in the 85 years
of the Chicago market was paid
in 1850, says officials here in re-
viewing the market. Tt came to
$719017, AGO An all-time record
for cattle was reached with $521,-
710,526 paid.
Receipts and shipments of hogs
to Eastern and other points show
ed increases for the third consecu-
tive year. The total of 3,699,511
hogs received was the largest since
1874. Shipments of 490,996 hogs
were IA percent rise in three
years.
Cattle in Chicago averaged
$1,000 for the year, highest am
nual figure in the history of the
yards and $3.10 above the 1949
average. The years record price
for steers was $41.50 paid in jan
uary.
Though the market during the
year fell from this peak, it re-
covered to approach a $4,000 top
for steers at the end of 1850. Wide
demand was the cause of this re-
eovery, attributable largely to the
conditions of war. TIeifers, in
steady good demand at the end
of the year, reached $500, high
est since October 1949. Bull prices
scared the new high levels, with
a record established at $3.50 late
in December. Replacement cattle,
overcoming s1owness in the early
fall, moved fast the last Two
months, and new top Of $41.30

CHICAGO = Nothing can sab
otage the nations meat supply
more quickly than an attempt by
the government to roll back live
stock and meat prices to mid 1850
or to what might be considered a
parity level, reports H. NJ. Con-
way, live stock market analyst
writing in the January issue of
National Live Stock Producer, a
farm publication. Such action
would almost completely dry up
meat supply and force meat dis
tribution outside of normal trade
channels" he states.
A temporarily short supply of
meat will Aend to put live stock
prices in a vulnerable position for
late winter and at the same time
encourage some official effort to
control what would be strictly
normal price situation. Price is a
result of demand and any special
effort to control it without recog-
nizing the factors that govern it
will lead to endless trouble and
confusion.
Despite some general tendency
for meat supplies to increase, the
main forces causing higher prices
have been increased consumer de-
mand and such initiation that has
taken place. Rationing would be
of only secondary Importance in
bringing about an equitable dis
tribution of the meat supply, as
black market operators would
soon predominant throughout the
country.
"All live stock are in a particul-
arly strong position for late winter
and spring. Prices are expected to
be further supported by seasonal
ly curtailed marketings by inn
proved demand conditio~- and by
some underlying price initiation.
As the country shifts more to a
war economy, there will be fur
ther increase in employment, thus
bringing about an increase in con-
sumner demand as well as a broad
er military outlet for meat.
All cattle prices are on a basic
ally higher level than a year ago
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1951-01-09
PRICE R0LL-BACK ON MEATS IS
TERMED SABOTAGE OF SUPPLY

and there can be further market
improvement from a supply and
demand standpoint. The situation
seems to justify finishing as
many cattle as possible for late
winter and early spring and a
special effort to have the fed crop,
as we'll as the pasture supply,
ready for market during the sum-
mer. The country will be short
of we'll finished cattle for the
summer market and short when
it comes to the spring and summer
supply of mature grass cattle.
"As the winter season advances,
sharply curtailed hog marketings
are in prospect. This, would be
quite normal but is being em-
phasized to some extent by an
earlier marketing of the spring
pig crop and some delay in the
fall crop. This. along with some
improvement in consumer de-
mand, with underlying price in
flation, means more than the usu-
al seasonal advance in hog prices,
especially during the late winter
However, seasona1ly increased
supplies will be quite evident by
late April. While the hog market
is supported upon a basically
higher level than a year ago, there
still will be reasonably normal
seasonal price variations with a
very broad outlet for the available
supply Of pork.
Prospective supply of fed
lambs is particularly short for
late winter which is a reflection
of the cyclically low level of pro-
duction. Slaughter values have
been supported by some price in
flation as well as increased con-
sumptive demand, but much of the
increased value of live lambs has
come from higher wool prices.
Prices during late winter will be
relatively high which may seem to
give a legitimate excuse to con-
