SLAUGHTER CATTLE
WASHINGTON, June 21 (API
Government livestock experts
predict that prices for most tirades
of slaughter eutUe would average
tiiguer mis summer and fall than
in the same period last year.
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomlcs said this trend was indicat
ed by stronger consumer demand
for beef, smaller market supplies,
and prospective large grain crops.
many uvoatocK producers were
forced by short feed supplies and
high cost of feed following last
summer's drought to deplete their
herds.
The bureau said cattle prices
had risen steadily from last fall
until April when consumer resist
ance to higher prices for best
grades of beef caused some decline
in prices.
Common slaughter grades con
tinued upward In May, however, so
that the average price paid at Chi
cago for all grades, $11.21 a hun
dred pounds, was 4tJ cents above
April and 8 cents above May lust
year.
Cattle prices usually decline in
the late summer and early fall but
the bureau said conditions now in
dicate this decline in will be
less than average.

Meadows to Be Included
in Plan for Computing
AAA Allowances.
COKVALLIS, June 21. (AP)
Two range-building practices ap
plying to mouuuiin meadows und
a provision for Including mountain
meadows in computing the riuige
building allowunce have -been ap
proved by the agricultural adjust
ment administration, X. C. Donald-
sun, in charge of the A A programs
in Oregon, said.
The mountain meadow practices
will apply only in specifically des
ignated counties. No counties have
yet been approved Tor Oregon, but
recommendations will be niude
when the state coinndttee meets
July 1.
The new practices will be avail
able for ranchers who have moun
tain meadows lu counties which
have been recommended by thi
county and stuto committeen und
approved by the director of the
western division as counties in
which such practices are neces
sary and will be effective in pro
moting land conservation.
The approved practices are as
follows: Hesccdlng of mountain
meadows to approved varieties of
grass seed ut the rate of 20 cents
per pound of seed sown, up .to ?2
an acre; and construction of earth
en dams for control of erosion on
mountain meadows, with payment
at the rate of 15 cents per cubic
yard of fill, and with the payment
for each dam constructed limited
to $50. J3oth of these practices re
quire approval before being put in
to effect.
In computing tho range building
allowance mountain meadows will
be .counted at the rate of 40 cents
an acre, when the hay from such
meadows is fed entirely to live
stock on the ranch and owned by
the ranch. This amount will be
added to the range-building allow
ance established for the ranch on
the basis of grazing capacity.
Advantage Cited
"The inclusion of the mountain
meadow provisions in the 1937 pro
gram will make It possible for
ranchers who have a relatively
large proportion of their ranches
in mountain meadows to cooperate
iu the program, while otherwise
thoy could uot readily do so," Don
aldson says.
Ranchers may also use rail aud
pole fences in addition to wire
fences as a practice in the range
program, for which the payment
rute Is SO cents a rod.
Commercial mustard und turnips
have been added to the list of up
proved green manure crops for
which a soil-building payment may
be made, und the list of approved
emergency forage crops has been
increased by the addition of winter
seeded peas and vetch when seed
ed with small grains us a support
crop.
