A. meat an! mal and wool review report, It shows that fat cattle prices have been slipping since mid-April. With more rattle than usual on feed, prices will probably remain low for several months then pick up some time again after July. The normal seasonal pattern shows the annual low In June with prices picking up slowly during the summer months. Ore gon State economists figure that this year should follow the same pattern with the possibility of heavy selling of range herds in drought areas could hold prices down longer than usual. Slaugh ter cow prices are just about at their seasonal peak right now and can be expected to decline as the grazing season progresses. Secretary Benson has just an nounced the following action in connection with the 1956 wheat program. 1. Proclaimed a na tional wheat marketing quota for the 195G wheat crop as required by law. 2, Announced a nation al wheat acreage allotment of fifty-five million acres, for 1956. The level specified by-law under present conditions of excess sup ply is the same allotment which 3. Set June 25th as the date for the national referendum among the wheat growers on whether or not quotas will be in effect for the 1956 crop. 4. Announced that, based on latest available supply information, a national average support price for 1956 production would be determined and announ ced before the wheat referendum. It was interesting to note that the legal minimum of fifty-five million acres, the allotment would have been only 18,500,000 acres, according to the -supply formula. The total wheat supply for the coming year is estimated to be enough for two years. In other words, we would get along without a crop for one year and still have enough wheat to sup ply outlets that have been avail able for the last year or two. Meetings will be held during June to answer farmers questions. If two-thirds of the nation's wheat growers voting are in favor of quotas, price supports will be between 75 and 90 of parity. If quotas are turned down, farm ers who stay within their allot ments are eligible for supports' at 50 of parity. There would be no penalty for exceeding the allot ment but would have ft) sell on A FRANKLY SENTIMENTAL pill mm Thursday-Friday-Saturday, May 26-27-28 Parents' Magazine acclaims The Little Kidnappers EXCELLENT in selecting it Movie-of-the-Month for Fam ily Audiences!
