fall. Purchases probably are larger.
With feed costs also higher, finishers'
profits are likely to be small. Sales
of three-year-old and older breeding
ewes are reported at $750-$12.5O a
cwt. with twos and threes as high as
SIG on Midwest markets.
WOOL@Steady to slightly higher
prices are probable during the fall
months. Light domestic stocks, larger
fabric sales and a higher rate of mill
usage than year ago, and active
competition for the new Australian
clip at mostly steady to higher prices
give a favorable outlook. World pro-
duction is up for the ninth consecutive
year, but demand at prevailing price
appears to be keeping pace. Growers
have asked the us. Department of
Agriculture to increase the support level
for the 1857 clip to 621a cents. The
present 62-cent support price, initially
1O6 per cent of parity, is only 1O1 per
cent of current parity. 1t was intended
to stimulate production, but this years
clip was down 1 per cent.
WHEAT-PriceS are likely to be
higher later in the season, but further
gains in the near future may be slow.
The shift of part of the export sales
to private traders will increase COM
mercial demand, and prospect of a
greatly reduced crop next year be-
cause of the soil bank will stimulate
speculative holding. However, prices
are now near support levels which may
tend to slow down placements under
loan and sustain sales by producers
during the fall. Also, competition from
Canadian, Australian and Argentine
wheat may be slightly greater than
in the past season.
Domestic use and exports in the
past season nearly equalled the 1855
crop of 937 million bushels. This sea-
sons total usage is expected to closely

bushels If the soil bank goal is
reached, 1915 million acres will be
taken out of next years wheat allot-
ment. and the 1857 crop will be cut
down to around 700 million bushels.
. If exports can be maintained, stocks
might be reduced 225-25O million bush
els in the 1888 crop year. This would
tend to boost prices to the level at
which the CCC can make domestic
sales, that is, per cent over supports
plus carrying charges.
FEED GRAIN-Prices for corn and
sOrghums are likely to weaken in the
next month or two, but oats and barley
probably will be steady to slightly high
err Small free stocks and light mar
ket receipts compared with professor
needs have been supporting corn
prices, but new crop shipments began
to appear in late August and will grad
ually increase in the next two months.

tai income probably will be higher in
the last half of 1856 than in 1855. The
index of farm prices was per cent
lower in August than in July, but the
average for the two months was about
per cent higher than year pre-
viouS and 4 per cent over the average
for July-December last year. Farmers
will have slightly less produce to sell
than last fall, but soil bank and wool
payments will add about $500 million
dollars to their incomes. Increasing
consumer income is expanding do
meStic demand for farm products. The
governments special export programs
are shifting into higher gear, and
physical volume of farm exports may
reach new high record this year.
Higher production costs will offset
part of any increase in farmers cash
receipts. Farm real estate taxes for
1855. payable largely in 1856, will be
up about 6.8 per cent to 1927 millions,
according to the US. Department of
Agriculture. With both short-term and
long-term farm debt increasing, and
money rates rising because of the
urban boom and efforts by the Fed
eral Reserve Board to check initiation,
interest payments by farmers will be
appreciably higher this year.
CATTLE-PriceS for granted cat
tie probably will round the peak for
the year in the next month or two,
although long-feds may hold at high
levels until midwinter The supply of
short-feds porbably will begin to in
crease by late fall and all grades prob
ably will increase enough to bring a
substantial price drop from the fall
high to the late winter or spring low
point. More cattle that had been fed
less than three months were in feed
lots on July 1 than year previous.
Many of these will come to market
in the next three months. Purchases
of heavy fleshy feeders suitable for
Short-term finishing have been much
larger in the last three months than
year ago.
Prices for grass cattle probably will
be weak in the next two months. Mar
keting from all grazing regions will be
seasonally heavy in this period Liqui-
dation from drouth areas will swell this
years supply. Outside of drouth areas,
however, there is likely to be but little
selling to reduce beef herds. The gov
eminent plans to buy up to so million
pounds of low-grade homeless beef for
welfare outlets to support prices dur
ing the fall run.
Prices for Stocker and feeder cattle
probably will decline by late fall They
have advanced in sympathy with the
rise in prices for fat cattle during the
summer, but are likely to work lower
again when prices for Short-feds de-
cline. Larger available supplies of
yearlings and beef calves than ever
before, higher prices for corn than
last fall and the extremely short corn
crop in the important western Corn
belt cattle feeding area will tend to
pull down feeder prices. Recent trad
ing for Good and Choice grades on
the range has been reported mostly
at $17-19 cwt. for two-year-old steers,
$17-2O for yearling steers, $16-1S for
yearling heifers, 1892 for steer calves
and $17-20 for heifer calves. Prices

a year previous. 1t will continue high
er through the fall and winter. New
crops promise to be about per cent
under last years. The total carryOver
is greater than in 1855, but more of
it is impounded in the support pro-
gram. Free" carryover stocks prob
ably are smaller. Higher supports for
oats, barley and sorghums and support
for noncompliance corn will help sus-
tain prices at higher levels than last
season.
SEEDS-Lower production, partly off
set by larger carryovers, continues to
feature most forage and lawn seed crop
reports. However, certified supplies of
improved varieties, in many cases,
probably are larger than ever before.
The timothy seeds crop is down about
As per cent from 1855 and is third
smallest on record Including carry
over, the supply is only 428 million
pounds compared with 55.6 million
in the past season was All mil
million pounds. Production of red top
seed is down per cent, but carryover
is up this year and total supply is about
one-fifth larger than in 1855. Prices re-
ceived by farmers on August Is aver
aged $3.50 cwt for alfalfa seed, $29.-
so for red clover, $3.50 for alsike, So 80
for sweet clover and $145O for timothy
seed.
DAIRY PRODUCTS - Prices espe-
cially for milk for fluid use, will con-
tinue to rise in the next two months.
Milk production will drop 5 to 8 per
cent by November and consumption will
be greater than in summer. Numbers
of milk COWS on farms on June were
per cent less than year previous and
lowest in the record extending back to
1880, but they are better cows and are
better fed than ever before. Production
per COW and total production through
the fall months probably will continue
at record levels for the time of year.
EGGS = Prices may hold fairly well
in the near future, but the main trend
will be down for the next five or six
months. Production probably is pass
ing the low-point Many pullets have
started to lay and small and medium
eggs are plentiful. Supplies of large eggs
will begin to increase in the next few
weeks. Present low prices for hens dis
courage close culling. Production prob
ably will run 2 to per cent larger
than year previous. Prices will aver
age lower and feed costs will be some
what higher than in 1855. The govern
ment will buy for welfare outfits if
necessary to prevent price drop.
POTATOES - Prices probably will
continue weak until near the end of
harvest unless a subsidized diversion
program is soon put into operation.
Crop prospects appear to be better than
in early August. At that time, late sum-
mer and fall crops were estimated to
be about five million bushels greater
than in 1855 when diversion to starch.
flour and feed, and grade and size re-
strictions on shipments, starting dur
ing harvest, were necessary to main
tain satisfactory prices.
BEANS - Price changes in the near
future will depend largely on final yield
OF the crop and weather during harvest.
Prospects are for about S per cent
lower production than in 1855. Old crop
stocks are cleaning up fairly well. Of

armer's Part
Of Food Dollar
Shown AT Fair

CLEMSON - The annual ex-
hibit Of the Clemson Extension
Service in the main building at
the South Carolina State Fair,
Columbia, October 22-27, is de-
signed to show what part of the
consumer food dollar goes to the
farmer who produces the food
products, and what part goes for
marketing services and costs.
A greatly enlarged replica of
a silver dollar mounted in the
back center of the exhibit is
divided into segments to show
that on an average Al cents of
the consumer food dollar in 1855
went to the farmer, and 50 cents
went for marketing costs and
services.
On an enlarged segment of
the dollar placed in the front
center of the exhibit, it will be
shown that BAT cents of the
farmers share went for farm
costs, 6 cents for interest on in
vestment, and 8 cents for net
profit. 1t is also shown that the
farmers part decreased from 54.
cents in l945 to Al cents in 1855.
On another segment it will be
shown that % cents of the con-
sumer food dollar went to paw
marketing labor costs, which in.
creased from 23 cents in l945 toI
% cents in 1855.
A third segment will show
tina 8 cents of the food dollar
IN 1855 went for transportation
costs. which was an increase
from 5 cents in l945.
A fourth segment shows that
all other marketing costs have
risen from y cents in lg45 To %
-ontS OF the consumer food dol
Ter in 1858.

ialS for which the farmer spent
his part of the food dollar, and
some of the marketing processes
and services which arc paid for
out of the part of the dollar
which went for marketing costs.
