SEEDS = Average retail prices
strengthened slightly during the spring,
but were lower in May than year
previous for 90 of "a kinds reported by
the US Department of Agriculture.
Total carryover of grass and legume
forage seeds is fairly large. After
poor start, prospects for new seed crops
have improved since early May How
ever, because of the expected increase
in use of seeds from the soil bank plan,
dealers may buy a little more aggres-
sively than last year.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-Prices probably
will soon start creeping advance to
a late fall high point Cold weather
delayed the spring production increase
but the peak probably is past The drop
in the milk flow will depend partly on
weather, but is likely to be slower than
last year. Butter and cheese production
in May was to 10 per cent less than
in 1855 For the rest Of the year it is
likely to be as large as or larger than
year previous. In May milk and but
terfat prices to producers averaged
nearly 5 per cent over year previous.
EGGS-Prices for fine fresh eggs
probably will rise in the next two or
three months as production and aver
age quality drops. Production probably
will be near last years level, compe-
tition from shell storage eggs will be
less and usage by breakers probably
will be larger than year previous. A
larger crop of early pullets is maturing
than year ago, but more old hens will
have to be replaced so that any in
crease in laying flocks next fall over a
year previous is expected to be small
They will be better layers, however.
POULTRY-Prices for commercial
broilers and farm chickens are likely to
be fairly steady in the next month or
two and may even improve moderately
because of hot weather increase in
demand, especially at prevailing low
prices. They are lowest at this season
since 1941 or 1912 Production of broilers
continues at record high levels, but is
likely to taper off as Matching egg sup
plies diminish. However, prices during
the fall may continue relatively low

future is likely to be more profitable
than holding for more weight. Sales of
breeding ewes were reported at $21
head for blackface Montana yearlings.
WOOL-Price changes will continue
small in the next two or three months,
but are likely to be mostly upward.
Bulk of the fleece and territory clips
has already been sold. CCC sold most
of its May quota of ga million pounds
compared with only about one-third in
March and April Mills used IL to u
per cent more apparel wool in January
April than last year. Demand for wool
fabrics and clothing continues good.
Foreign primary markets vary from
easy to strong.
WHEAT-Prices probably will decline
far enough during harvest to make it
moderately attractive to take advan-
tage of the support program. The gov
ernment'S offer of $1.20 a buShel on
average yields to farmers who under
plant or pillow under part of their al
lotted acreage probably is too late to
affect this years crop. The crop proba-
bly, has improved in the past month,
but will depend greatly on weather dur
ing the rest of the season. Carryover is
likely to be about 1,0SO million bushels,
although all but around SIS million
bushels will be either government
owned or under loan. The government
is selling several million bushels a
week, mainly for export.
Basic support rates for the new crop
are: $3.50 a bushel for No. 2 soft red
winter at Chicago, and No. 2 hard red
winter at Kansas City; 1874 for No.
hard red spring, ordinary protein, and
$2.61 for No. amber durum at Mime
apolis; 1921 for No. 1 soft white at
Portland All are cents a buShel less
than last year Undesirable varieties
will be discounted 20 cents a bushel
Storing will be profitable if prices DROP
below the net support value, especially
for producers who own storage space
that will protect wheat from insect anC
rodent contamination
FEED GRAINS While harvest pres
sure probably will weaken oats ant
barley prices in the next two months
any decline is likely to be small. Farm
prices are already slightly below 1876
support rates of about IS cents bushe
for oats and $1.O2 for barley, provide
in the new farm law. Crops are likel
to be smaller than last year.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-06-15

rest of 1856 probably will average high
err than in 1855 In May it was the same
as a year previous. More aggressive
governmental effort to remove farm
SURPRISES and support prices under the
new farm law, slight letup in pro-
duction of meat animals, possibly some
what smaller crops and strong domestic
and export demand probably will pre-
vent farm prices from weakening as
much as last year when they declined
per cent from May to December. The
dOwntrend in farm income probably has
been arrested. Farm cash receipts in
the second half of 1856 are likely to be
Slightly larger than a year previous.
CATTLE-Prices for well finished cat
tie probably will have a gradual sea-
sonal rise in the next few months.
Nationally, market supplies of fed cat
tie probably will decline through the
summer and early fall In view of the
reduced number of light cattle on feed
in early spring and the smaller move
ment to feedlots in the last two months,
slaughter supplies are likely to be
somewhat less than in 1855 Holding
better quality steers and heifers for
choice to prime finish and sale in Sep
tember-October probably will be profit
able.
Prices for lower grades of slaughter
cattle probably will be steady to lower,
although any price drop on steers and
heifers in these grades may be small
for another month or six weeks, since
marketing of grassers will be light until
late July. Supplies in late summer and
fall are likely to be larger than last
year. however, and prices may remain
lower than year previous.
Stocker and feeder cattle prices prob
ably will show some seasonal weakness
through the summer and early fall, but
any decline is likely to be small unless
drouth becomes widespread. Prices are
already near the fall level in 1855. While
the present relationship of feeders and
fat cattle is slightly unfavorable, ex-
pected improvement in fat cattle prices
will strengthen demand for replace
ments
HOGS-Prices are likely to round the
peak for the year in the next few weeks
then start seasonal downtrend Mar.
ket supplies usually reach their low
point in July and increase 80 to 80 pei
cent by December. Packers margin.
are now being squeezed and packer de

OUR OVERSEAS BASES

The sobering statement some weeks ago made by Foreign Minister Gudmundsson of Iceland that his country determined to get rid of US troops sta toned in Iceland is an example of what might happen in other areas of the world in the near future.
 For example, if the Arabs win complete freedom in North Africa, what will happen to the mut-mlion- dollar investment the US has in airfelds and nstalla- tions in that area?
 The United States has spent $50 OOO 900 in build ing and maintaining the huge arbase in Iceland, and radar installations and other installations in recent years The base is considered to be key link our North Atlantic Treaty Organization defense program, and the withdrawal of US troops would be blow to the US. defense program.
 Several factors have helped create resentment against the United States in Iceland One of them cerns fishing agreement and another is the rritations which have arisen between s. troops and Icelanders.
 So in spite of the $12,000,000 loss in business which US withdrawal would cost Iceland, the US. may lose foothod in this key area and Communist peace talk may score major victory.

Fairbanks News-Miner)


 WASHINGTON-A bill to pro- vide government subsidy to the Alaska tin industry was blocked in the final hours of the 84th Congress because of an unrelated fight between Democrats and Re- publicans over the nomination of Wesley A. D'Ewart as assistant secretary of the Interior
 The tin bill, sponsored in the House by Del. E. L. (Bob) Bart lett and in the Senate by Sen. w. Kerr Scott ONO, would have set higher base prices for domes- tic tin under a government pro- gram calling for production of up to 10000 long tons. Alaska's Se- ward Peninsula has the main tin supply of the United States.
 Was a Priority Bill
 Having won Senate Interior Committee approval, the bill was on the list of several priority bills to be taken up by the Senate in the closing days of the session. But it never came up.
 The reason is that members of the committee, all westerners, were in bitter struggle over the D'Ewart nomination, which had been hanging fire for seven months. Democrats, led by the committee chairman, Sen. James E. Murray (MonD, were trying to block the nomination O'Ewart ran against Murray for the Senate two years ago in a rough and tumble campaign). Republicans were trying equally hard to push the nomination thru. Murray would not call a committee meet ing to vote on the nomination, be- cause it appeared from an in formal count that DEWart would get confirmed by one vote.
 Petition Ignored
 Republicans, led by Sen. Barry Goldwater (Ariz), petitioned Mur- ray to allow a vote, without re- suits. Then they got rough. They said, "No vote on D'Ewart, no tin bill" Republicans then refused to allow the tin bill to pass.
 This is just one of the stories of backstage difficulties which prevented favorable action by Congress on vital Alaskan bills. Others that died and will doubt less be revived for new battles next year are:

 2. Fish trap abolition bill- Bartlett's bill to abolish fish traps over a five-year period was at first supported in principle by Interior, but later the administra- ton changed its position and sug gested stretching out the time period to 10 years. Bartlett op- posed this change, and the bill got nowhere.
 3. Extend term of judges to eight years-passed the House but didn't get thru the Senate.

 5. States-AlaSka air carriers-a bill by Sen. Warren G. Magnuson D-Wash) to award permanent operating certificates to all car riers operating between the States and Alaska was passed by the Senate but begged down in the House, where it was opposed by Rep. Carl Hinshaw R-Calif).
 6. Tidelands-bill to grant tide lands to territory got no action.
