Longg-Range Outlook
For Beef Cattle
Continues Favorable
$ Der cent More Cattle Per 7 ear
Needed to Meet Expected Demaud
By RAY REIA1AN, Marker Analyst

couple years This years increase In
cattle and calf numbers is expected to
be about per cent, compared to a
3.8 per cent gain last year (to a record
1898 million head and 1858 to 1862
average gain of 2.5 per cent.
Holding this years expansion below
the 1862 rate is the sharp rise In steer
and heifer slaughter and the slight drop
in live cattle imports. The calf slaughter
is per cent below 1862 despite per
cent larger calf crop, and cow slaughter
is continuing relatively low for the fifth
year In a row.
The next Jan. / inventory will con-
tain a larger number of cows-the basis
for further expansion during 1864. Even
though low culling rates imply an in
crease in the average age of the cow
herd, optimistic ranchers will continue
to carry through the winter many aged
cows not obviously without calf.
Ups and Downs
But, while beef demand apparently
will continue upward fast enough to alb
sorb to per cent more beef per year,
it doesn't mean that cattle prices will
work upward or even hold steady at
all times An economic recession or
lengthy widespread drought in the range
country, or still worse, combination
of the two could result in considerable
price weakness during any given year
or longer.
On the average, however, cattle prices
in line with the past four-year average
appear to be in the cards throughout
the 1960's.
Fed cattle prices, of course, frequently
move up and down somewhat indie
pendently of other cattle prices. Varia-
tions in fed steer and heifer marketings
from one season or year to the next re-
suit in wide price fluctuations. Good
case in point is the sharp rise in the
last half of 1862 and the subsequent
plunge in early 1868.
Stable Price Pattern
The price pattern during the same
1963-64 period should be much more
stable The volume of fed beef will con-
tinue high enough this fall to keep
prices from rising very much and the
winter-spring volume apparently won't
be great enough to pull prices down
very much. In other words, any price

THE LONG RANGE outlook for beef
| cattlemen continues to look rather fav-
| orable.
There's been a good deal OF disagree
ment the past couple months about
how much beef and grazing land will
be needed during the next seven to ten
years But all agree that, if the US.
economy continues to improve at the
rate of recent years, beef producing
capacity will need to expand consider
ably to meet the rising demand.
The average American this year is
expected to eat about 90 lbs. of beef
close to 3-lb. gain in single year
and nearly so per cent jump in little
more than a decade. Add to this the
rapid rise in population, and it's easy
to see why beef production has zoomed
about 80 per cent from 1852 to this year.
eff beef demand continues to increase
as it has in the past decade" say USDA
economists, ''the industry would be able
to absorb around 20 per cent more beef
in the next four or five years at prices
in line with the 196O-63 average"
More Feeding
Cattle feeQ1ng Will DE more uii-
portant source of beef production IN
the future However, cow-caf opera
tions must provide an increasing sup
ply of feeder animals. Since grassland
and forage are still the most important
feed needed for feeder cattle produc-
ton, more grazing and hay land will
be needed to handle the beef cow ex-
pansion.
Administration economists say about
100 million acres more grazing land
will be NEEDED by 1970-an average in
crease of IA million acres year.
The American National Cattlemen's
Association says this increase is great
ly exaggerated. Association officials
say that, with the economic incentive
(profits), expanded use of fertilizers,
irrigation and range management tech
niques would improve the grazing capa-
city per acre enough to shave the Adj
ministratiOns acreage increase esti-
mates considerably.
More Cattle
Mid-year calculations by the US. De-
partment of Agriculture show that cat
tie numbers in 1868 are rising for the
fifth straight year and probably will
continue to expand for at least the next

Successor
To Hancock
Discussed

The Montgomery County
Councils Democratic minority
and County Attorney Alfred H.
Carter, who has submitted his
resignation due to his inability
to agree with the Republican
majority, gained a moral vic.
tory yesterday when the Council
took steps toward the appoint
ment of a successor to Finance
Director Alex Hancock, about to
retire.
An issue that arose several
weeks ago, when Financial Con-
sultant John F. Briggs proposed
that Hancock's job be left va
cant for the remainder of the
fiscal year, apparently was
settled when President John A.
Floyd requested County Mana
ger Mason Butcher to consult
with Hancock to obtain his
views on a potential successor.
While there was no formal vote,
none of the other members OBJ
jected.
Republicans previously had
indicated they favored Briggs
suggestion, which would add
more than $1,000 to the surplus
fund accumulated because a
number of varied jobs have re-
manned vacant since the start of
the budget year, while Demo-
Gratis Grover X. Walker and
Jerry Williams opposed it.
Carter joined in the contro-
Versy with the assertion that
the Council is required by law
to have a fiscal advisor, a posi-
ton held by the director of fl
nance, at all times and cannot
be without his services for a sin
gle day." The advisor, he added,
is responsible for duties that no
other employe can perform.
Tuesdays request from Floyd
brought no discussion other
than a suggestion by DR.. Thorn
as Wilson that the Council util.
ize the services of it's public
relations staff in calling for ap-
plicants for other existing va.
cancies that have to be filled.

Assessment Policy Qualification
Asked Of County Council by ACC

The County Council has been
asked to authorize the Assess
ment Review Committee, re-
Gently appointed by the Council,
to consider the assessment pol
icy of the County with respect
to reconstruction, widening, or
other improvements of existing
county roads.
In a letter to Council Presi-
dent John A. Floyd, dated Feb.
IL, DR.. Robert S. Allgaier, chair
man of the Allied Civic Group
Public Highways Committee,
makes this request on behalf of
the ACC:
1.-THE Allied Civic Group con-
sistently has been opposed to
the assignment of substantial
part of the cost of improvement
of the abutting property owners
when this improvement is not
needed by them, but is required
to accommodate traffic gener-
ated in other areas" Allgaier's
letter states in part.
ACC also questions the valid.
ity of the apparent assumption
underlying the assessment pol
icy that the street Improvements
invariably enhance the value of
the AUDITING property"
Off and on since 1856, ACC
has brought this matter to the
attention of County officials. In
its comments on the 1862 and
1928 County budgets, the
Group said:
1.-The ACC again urges the
County Council to conduct a
study of the benefit assessment

Keep Rural
Land Control,
Knapp Urges

Granting of reduced tax
assessments to farm land
should be accompanied by
enforced "open space" zon-
ing controls, DR.. Harold A.
Knapp told the County Coun-
Gil Tuesday.
The Germantown resident
urged the council to oppose a
bill pending in the General AS
sembly that would remove the
factor of coming in consideration
of whether lower taxes should
be granted farm land.
OF the many factors used by
assessors, DR.. Knapp declared,
the only one which acts to pre-
serve open space is the coming
applicable to the land.
II viewer" he added,
neither the law providing for
lower taxes on farm land), nor
the General Assembly, nor the
assessors, nor the Park and
Planning Commissioners, nor
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil have ever said what coming
lot size is adequate to achieve
the stated public purpose of the
law.
MEANWHILE" he continued,
farmers and large landowners
have ardently supported the pre-.
ferential assessment law to
keep their taxes down and at
the same time have bitterly OPP
posed agricultural or low den
sity coming, asserting that II
would prevent them from devel.
Oping their land"
He quoted U. S. Department
of Agriculture study on prefer
entail assessment of farmland
in Maryland as saying: 1.-THE
effectiveness of tax measures
in preserving open spaces de-
ponds upon their being coupled
with area-wide planning and
controls over land use. Other
wise there is no guarantee that
open space will actually be pre-
served by the tax protection
granted owners"

Create New
School Post.
Bell Urges

Creation of a new, top
school official operating in
dependently of the school
superintendent and reporting
directly to the school board,
was advocated this week by
Charles w. Bell, newly-elect-
e. school board president.
He was Immediately chal-
lenged in the proposal by the
three follower board members
and School Supt. C. Taylor
Whittier who raised the ques-
ton of dual responsibility" in
volved in such a plan which,
he said, "does not work in ad-
ministration."
Bell made the proposal for
the new 'liaison officer" at the
end of several marathon budget
adoption sessions held by the
board last week during which
it adopted proposed $54,-
763,752 operating budget for
1864.
The total was $735,113 less
than the amount requested by
DR.. Whittier and calls for elm
nation of 38 requested posi-
tons and curtailment of some
services including driver train
ing and foreign language in
elementary schools.
Bell said he was not salts
fled with communication be-
tween the board and the
school system and he, thought
appointment of a liaison Of
ficer will fill such a gap.
A brief but lively discussion
was held on the Bell proposal
with the three minority hold
over members opposing it on
the ground that the superin-
tendent's office is the estab-
lished line of communication
and the three other newly
elected m e m bers indicating
support for it.
Action was delayed, however,
when Board member William
Saunders questioned whether
the controversial proposal
needed immediate settlement
and the others agreed it did
not.
Bell said he would study the
idea further with Supt. Whit
tier and would make a con-
crete suggestion to the school
board at it's Feb. 25 meeting.
A similar suggestion had
been made earlier by the Coun-
Gil for Better Education, a
group that worked on behalf
of the four newly.elected in
cumbents during the last
election.
