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
