    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

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. '
