place these classes under support is
strong and placements probably will be
large by January 81 if prices do not
move considerably closer to the net

Prices may continue to drag until
large loan placements are assured.
Total supplies are equal to about two
years needs. Mill demand is slow as

1y to the urban boom.
This maladjustment could continue
for a long time as it did in the ''tWen-
ties" before bringing urban disaster
Restoring more equitable relationships
is the purpose of the government farm
program. Barring improvement
through changes in the farm program,
the maladjustment is likely to become
little greater in the coming year.
CATTLE-Prices for all classes and
grades have continued under pressure
from heavy supplies. Recent levels of
steer prices were lowest since removal
of price controls in 1916. Supplies proba-
bly, are rounding the peak, SO that
prices may soon turn upward, although
gains are likely to be slow and small.
Slaughter of cattle in 1856 probably
will be slightly less than in 1855, with
small decreases in steers, cows and
heifers, the US. Department of Agri-
culture says. Weather will have an
important bearing. Slaughter of cows
and heifers this year probably has been
large enough to reduce next years calf
crop slightly and cause small cyclicaI
decline in the cattle population. With
slaughter smaller and consumer de-
mand for meat continuing strong,
cyclical rise in cattle prices may start,
the Department says Any change
would be small. however. Unfavorable
conditions might increase the slaughter
rate and prevent the price rise.
Feeder cattle prices have dropped to
new lows for the season, as the con-
tinued slump in prices for fed cattle led
buyers to wait. Prices are lower than
year ago, but are down much less
than prices for fat cattle. Lower feed
costs will help finishers meet the proba-
bic lower average level of fed cattle
prices in the first half of 1856 than in
1855. Short-feeding of good grades for
the late winter market, feeding of low
er grades for the late spring market
and long feeding of calves and yearlings
or the late summer and early fall
market are likely to be the most profit
able feeding programs.
HOGS-Prices are likely to turn up
ward in the near future from current
evels which are lowest since early 1912.
logs from last springs pig crop are
eing marketed relatively early at light
1eights, SO that supplies are likely to

or corn, which nave Deen extremely
heavy in the past six weeks, probably
will soon begin to taper off. Low prices
at country points will lead to larger
placements in the support program
than last season and will stimulate
feeding demand. Many farmers eligi
BILE for support are sealing their corn
and buying ssfree" corn for feeding.
Market receipts of oats and barley
continue to decline and terminal mar
ket stocks are slowly shrinking.
Prices will continue much below those
of last season because of record large
supplies of each feed grain and lower
price supports. October l stocks of
feed grains together with new corn
and grain sorgum crops total 1907
million tons against 1449 million tons
last year. Deducting carryover stocks
that were under price support, ssfree"
stocks of the four feed grains were
about 1872 million tons against 1919
million tons last season. Utilization
will be greater than the 1879 million
tons used last season perhaps by as
much as to 10 million tons, but place
ments under loan also will have to be
large to cause any tightness in '.free"
stocks later in the season
SEEDS - Supplies are plentiful and
prices will continue low, although they
may rise slightly over fall levels.
Crops and carryoyers of six major hay
and pasture seeds-alfalfa, red clover,
alsike, sweet clover. timothy and sudan
grass-total about 584 million pounds
against 481 million pounds last year
and a 1944-5S average of 433 million
pounds.
FEEDSTUFFS - Prices may. work
higher in the next few months, but
any advance will be small and whole
sale prices are likely to average
lower than in any of the last nine years.
Supplies will be larger than ever, but
not much more than will be used at low
prices. Stocking moderately ahead at
this time seems advisable.
HAY-Prices probably will advance
slightly during the next two or three
months. Nationally. the peak price
received by farmers for hay was
reached in January or later in each of
The last Is seasons. Prices will remain
lower than in most postwar years.
Hay and roughage supplies are more
plentiful than in any of the last three
years. Winter weather will force more
cattle into feedlots and cause increased
eeding of hay.
DAIRY Prices for milk
will have a moderate seasonal drop in
he next five or six months as produc-
ion rises to the spring peak. Milk
