Markets at q Glance

Prices-Big stocks and high production will
continue to weigh farm markets.
Cattle-Main trend for fed grades will be
moderately down in next few months.
Hogs-Heavy supply will prevent much price
improvements in Sext few weeks.
Lambs-Winter feeding probably will be less
than last year.
WooI-Price drop is making government loan
the best outlet.
Wheat-Light "free'' stocks continue to lift
prices but selling point may be near.
Rye-Larger exports are needed to restore
prices.
Feed Grains-Corn and sorghum prices prob
ably will rise as harvest ends.
Flaxseed-Small placements under loan sug-
gest that Gree stocks will be ample.
Seeds-Growers have sold more freely than
usual.
Observation-Disclosures price rise is probable
during winter.
Hay-SIghtly higher prices probably are ahead.
Dairy PrOducts-Seasonal production increase
viii push prices lower.
Eggs-Winter price drop will be small.
Chckens-Lighter broiler production will help
prices.

breeders were per cent last year.

new year. Feeding demand will be
seasonally large, although poor feeding
ratios will tend to hold down total vol
ume. Industrial demand will be fairly
good.
FLAXSEED - Prices probably will
continue near the support level for
considerable period. They are unlikely
to advance much unless placements
under the support program become
great enough to make ''free'' supplies
tight.
SEEDS-Prices for leading hay and
pasture seeds are not likely to go much
higher this season. They have reached
levels that are likely to hold demand
in line with the supply. Growers of most
of these seeds have already sold
larger proportion of the commercial
crop than last year or than the 1882
average. Rather close selling of re-
manning holdings seems advisable if
prices should have a further runup in
the next month or two.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-PriceS for milk
will decline and butterfat will work
slightly lower to the support level
during the increase of Sc per cent or
more in production in the next six
months. Supplies will run ahead of
demand at the support levels.
Returns from milk and butterfat over
the value of concentrates and roughage
used probably will continue near recent
levels. Culling cows that produce less
than 1000 pounds of milk or 800 pounds
of butterfat and feeding more high
quality legume roughage with less grain
will help make the herd moderately
profitable.
EGGS Increasing production will
push prices lower in the next three
months The decline probably will b.
rather small, however. The lay will
incre ase less than usual The crop o
late pullets not yet of laying age i
small and sales of older hens may b.
stepped up a little because prices al
ready are extremely low.
POTATOES-PriceS probably will b
steady to slightly higher in the mex
few weeks. The trend later on wi
depend partly on reported January
merchantable stocks. The estimate {
the late crop has been raised to Is
million bushels which appears to b
ample. A little lag in the late fall an
early winter movement could mea
too many potatoes left for the rest

1855 crop probably will be increases

Too Many Deer and Antelope
PLAY I'm Central Montana

age. This begins in the fall when the
range dries up and punches of alfalfa
seed and shocks of grain are available.
This is expensive feed for the rancherS
to put out. After snow comes it is
merely a matter of snow depth before
the deer hit the hay stacks -Four
inches of snow will put the deer to
work on the stacks as early as Septem-
Der On through the winter as the snow
gets worse so do the deer. The hay
they eat is little in comparison to what
they work down and foul so domestic
livestock won't eat it. Some rancherS
bale their hay and haul it in close to
the buildings and put it in large stacks.
This is an expensive and dangerous
precaution for a fire can wipe out
whole years feed supply.
Still the deer follow the hay and many
of the fOOthill ranches have herds of
them waiting on sunny hillsides for
night to fall so they may forage at the
bale stacks. Some rancherS stack their
hay loose in the fields intending to feed
it from the stack. These stacks have
to be fenced deer-tight To fence a half
dozen stacks is not much of a job,
even with panels or slabs or woven
wire, but with more than 80 stacks to
fence an unfence during the winter this
runs into lot of time and money. Dig
ging out drifted-under stack is no
joke even if it is not surrounded by a
Snowed-under deer fence.
The third class of damage includes
the deer hunter-friend and foe of the
deer and rancher alike Courtesy and
thoughfulness on the part of the hunter
toward the rancher can help their re-
lationship. Toward the deer the hunter
also has an obligation to keep their
numbers in balance with the available
feed. Too many deer ruin hunting more
surely than too few

up, making slightly better times for
consumers. Gains probably will con-
tinue into 1855, but will be slow. They
will tend to sustain rather than boost
farm prices and farm income. Big
stocks of farm products from past pro-
duction and productive capacity that
stays ahead of combined domestic and
foreign demand are major obstacles
to better farm markets.
CATTLE-The main trend of prices
for fed cattle probably will be down in
the next three or four months. Top
cattle prices may hold up since the
supply of extremely long-feds will be-
come light, but high good, choice and
low prime grades will gradually become
more plentiful as the feeding season
advances. The normal seasonal price
change for these grades is a drop of
to per cent from December to April.
Prices for stocker and feeder cattle
probably will hold near recent levels
for a while, then work slightly higher
as the next grazing season approaches.
The scheduled opening of the Mexican
border on January will add moderately
to next years supply Of stock cattle.
HOGS-Price gains in the next month
or six weeks will be small. Producers
have been holding to put on more
weight In spite of the estimated in
crease of II per cent in the spring pig
crop, October slaughter was only
per cent over last year and slaughter
in the first half of November was less
than year previous.
LAMBS-Prices will advance mod
erately by late winter. Arrivals of range
lambs are dropping and more fed lambs
are coming. Slaughter in the next few
weeks may not change much from
recent volume and other meat and
poultry supplies will continue heavy
so that price gains will be SLOW
WHEAT-Prices probably will go
moderately higher in the next few
weeks, but they have had most of the
rise that was to be expected this sea-
SON. Heavy impoundings in the support
program have left a relatively light
''free'' supply.
Fairly high protein milling wheatS
are selling at well above the effective
loan value, however. With a new ta2
year starting in January, a further
rise of to 10 cents a bushel prObabl!
would bring increased selling by farm
ers, including sales of some purchas,
agreement and redeemed loan stocks
Because of the sharp drop in supper
levels for the 1855 crop, mills and flou
buyers are likely to let their stocks rul
quite low toward the end of this GRO
year.
After settling back in midwinteI
prices may have a strong runup durin
the spring, if free stocks should becom
tight or new crop prospects be quit
unfavorable. Selling stable porto
of holdings appears advisable on ful

THERE is NO place in Montana
where people want more deer This
is a quote from a game department
official at a meeting of SpOrtsmen and
rancherS in Lewistown.
This is true statewide, but especially
so in the area round the Big Snowy
Mountains in central Montana. This
area has a large and still growing deer
population Here are found both the
mule and Whitehall deer. In recent
years the whitetailS have shown up in
areas from which they have been
absent for more than 50 years.
Several theories are advanced for the
vast increase in deer herds. One Of the
most popular is the virtual extermina-
ton of the coyotes. The coyotes used
to take heavy toll of the old or weak
deer as well as many fawns, particu-
larly the weaker twin deer 1t was once
unusual to see twins following doe
at hunting season but now high per-
centage of twins reach maturity. A
natural balance is thus upset. The
cattle man never had much trouble
with the coyote and even the Sheepman
is beginning to wonder if he didn't
suffer less from the coyotes than he
now suffers from deer and antelope.
Series of Good Years
Another theory is the long and COM
paratively unbroken string of good
years with ample forage and mild
winters resulting in light winter kill OF
deer This, coupled with generally bet
ter farming practices, has resulted in
good range the year round for wild
life. Deer and antelope are "opportun
ists,'' taking the best food available
with little thought as to whether it is
natural food or some farmers OF
rancher's hay or grain.
A third theory, based on livestock
practices, is that by keeping all female
stock, the herd grows quickly. However
the time comes when production ant
feed have to balance. This balancin,
Harvesting Of sizeable portion of tn,
female deer is now a necessity sine
trapping and transplanting is no longe
feasible.
From the late 20s through the 80
deer were a comparative rarity eve
in the foothills of this area They stage
back in the mountains where the roug
country protected them from coyote
and hunters alike. When their number
became greater they worked lower int
the foothills and eventually out of tn
timber to the sheltered coulees an
creeks of the farming communitiei
This is when the damage they do b,
came apparent.
Kinds of Damage
Deer depredations fall into three gel
eral classes. One is the summer dan
age when they bed or Craze in whe;
and oat fields. While one deer doesn
cover many square feet when he Ii,

by the so days he spends in an oat fie
