Note of Optimism
Found in Cattle
Number Increases
Considerable option in feeding
cattle has been shown since the
first of the year, reports Ed Coles,
extension livestock marketing
specialist at Oregon State college.
Although the number of cattle in
the nation's feed lots on April 1
was about 2 percent below a year
ago, replacements have increased
since January 1.
The specialist says reports from
the corn belt feeding states' show
most of the cattle in the area are
being fed for a shorter period and
marketed at lighter weights and
younger age.
In the three important cattle
feeding states of Illinois, Iowa
and Nebraska, the number of cat
tle on feed less than three months
is estimated to be 72 percent
larger than a year ago. However,
the number on feed for three
to six months is 21 percent less
than last year. There is a de
crease also in the number being
fed over six months. Marketing
intensions show that about 45
percent of the cattle now on feed
will be sold by July 1.
Coles explains these figures
and intensions seem to indicate
some optimism on the part of
feeders who see a stable market
for feed cattle based on present
supply. These feed lot operators
are likely influenced also by past
nrofits made alreadv this season
in feeding cattle and the pros-

The Lewis and Clark Expedition
Commemorated in Original Painting
few IfHlwIPi
The spirit of one of the most
important events in this country's
history, The Lewis and Clark expe
dition, has been captured by Dean
Cornwell, N.A., in an original paint
ing commemorating the 150th anni
versary of the start of the expedition
on May 14th, 1804. Cornwell's paint
ing was commissioned by the New
York Life Insurance Company and
this photo of it shows Meriwether
Lewis holding the octant and William
Clark seated on the ground with a
map in a scene on the Upper Mis
souri River. The expedition, which
opened up the vast Northwest to the
mouth of the Columbia River, began
at 4:00 P.M., May 14th, 1804. The
men did not return until September,
1806.

Barring a widespread drouth in ! a year ago, the marketing special

the summer and fall months and panied by a relatively smaller
