8-(Sec. I) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Sat., June 30, '56 Qimb Noted J In National Farm Markets i . v. By LII.LIE L. MADSEN 'I Farm Editor. The Statesman fhnr't n iin.hirn in the national farm markeU. the lira half of im to closing. Lamo prices, even with drop in mid-week, are said to be the highest in three years. While cattle and sheep prices at Portland closed little under last week's high, the market closed on steady and somewhat stronger note. There was an upturn in the dosing buying and lamb prices were around SO cents higher than Monday. ' , , , . . tv, hiitrhir ho market closed i steady to weak, with prices on - butcher hogs in miaaiewenma ranging from $U. to 197S. on the Portland market. The latter price on hogs is a new high In the uphill pull that has taken place line the middle of March. How ever hog prices are still around 4 under a year ago. Oregon lamb prices are now about the same as a year ago. -More Cattle Offered ; Receipts of cattle at Portland were somewhat larger this week than last, although the drop in lamb offerings began to show. There were about the same num ber of hogs offered. Reports from outside markets thowerf receipts In all classes were smaller, but arrivala of cattle and hogs were still greater than the game time last year. Prices from now until early No vember are expected to be upward. Unloading of both beef and sheep in June, while the pastures were still green, was listed as partly responsible for the seasonable drop In prices. i Advise Is to sell out milk-tat lambs aa toon as they reach a .marketable weight. Some produc ers have been topping out their flocks In recent weeks. .They bring more now than they will later as feeders, although forecast for j, feeders., nationwide-wise, is listed at around 17-18 cents. Sen Hon As Soon Aa Ready LAxArm tnn 1 la xell the market hogs as soon as they reach 200 pounds. Prices are expected to Arm from mm until late summer or early fall. However, they are .t nwtMl tn follow last year's HV rf.-----w - - pattern so badly. The decrease in the nation' sprinf pig drop came u inrii .nrf Mav. Farrowing In those two months were about one sixth smaller than a year earlier. farrowinu In Feb ruary and March were down only i 7 per cent, ana uecemoer mu ;.: January farrowings were some what larger than a year earlier. These early larrowings have help j i hniri marketings uo in May and June. The cut-back in farrow ings that came later, will show to a greater extent later in me year. The decrease in the nation's spring pig crop was in the nation's prin cipal hog producing area. Here in Oregon, the number it about equal to last spring. , Indications at the recent broiler and fryer meeting in Corvallis, is that there just can't be expected a summer "up" in prices. There are too many birds ev-n to up prices for the bigger call of the picnic chicken-fry season. The slogan will be "chicken every picnic". Feed prices for poultrymen are, however, going up. There may be tome unloading. Housewives should watch for these for locker supplies. Plenty of Bay If you have any low-quality hay to sell, sell it, The good hay prices, m .kn hv last winter s heavy feeding, aren't expected to hold. One reason: Too many hay farmers are holding. Indications are (or plenty of hay around, par iMilarlv of the not-so-good quality Feed grains are expected to go tip in face ot tne new support if vnu are eoine to need dairy feed grains, pick them up at Vinrvcjt. Barley is selling under support prices In most places, and advice to the grower is too hold onto the crop. Demand is expected to pick " no. ' Keep up on new rulings about the Soil Bank.
