Consumers To Pay Higher Prices For Pork in 1957 Than Last Year Washington (U.R) The Agriculture Department said to day consumers will pay higher prices for pork and possibly higher grades of beef this year than during 1956. Total 1357 meat production is expected to be less than the 1958 record, the department said in its publication, "The Live stock and Meat Situation." Pro duction probably will be cut heaviest in the first half of the year, with most of the reduction in pork. The department said farm prices of hogs, which had ad vanced $2.50 per 100 pounds in late December from their mid- American Bridge Team Gains Points New York (U.R) The Amer ican contract bridge team con tinued whittling points from forerunning Italy early today in the duel for the world champion ship. At the end of the session which began Tuesday the Italians held a 780-point lead. This was the slimmest lead the Eureopean bridge champions have held since the first session last Sun day. The Americans went into the evening session 1,100 points be hind. They gained 320 points on the Italians by concentrated play of 24 boards which offered few spectacular hands. November low. may strengthen somewhat more this winter. A downturn is probable when marketings from the fall pig crop are largest. A new seasonal upturn, however, is likely in the spring. Prices of hogs during most of 1957 likelv will be above 1955. The price situation for both consumers and producers stems from the supply of hogs. The 1956 fall pig crop was down 4 per cent, and producers planned Dec. 1 to reduce the spring crop 2 per cent. This indicates that hog slaughter during most or all of . 1957 will remain below 1956. The department said that by year's end, the difference will be small. By the end of 1956. hog slaughter was substantially less than the previous year. On Dec. 1. the number of good butcher hogs was almost one-fifth less than a year before, and the re duction on Jan. 1 probably was about the same. The department said farm prices for cattle in' 1957 will re main close to those of a year ago. Cattle slaughter has been extremely large because many cattle were put on feed early and marketed rapidly after only moderate feeding. Also the rate of marketing for young cattle was speeded, in contrast with de layed marketing last winter, and lack of feed forced .'larger mar ketings from drought areas. The department predicted mar ketings of fed cattle will be dis tributed more evenly by sea sons in 1957 than in 1956. It said total cattle slaughter prob ably will continue to be large in most months. Drought will be a major fac tor affecting cattle slaughter and prices in 1957. If the drought is not severe, prices may average as high or slightly higher than in 1956. Prices of fed steers are ex pected to level out after their late fall decline and to stay higher this winter and spring than their lowest point last win ter. Severe drought would ex pand slaughter and prevent im provement in prices. The department said lamb prices are likely to rise season ally and may remain for a time a little higher than last year. New York Police Forced To Re'ecf Call for Help Albany, N. Y. (U.R) New York state police have been call ed on for many things, from re trieving lost horses and babies to rounding up criminals and checking on stolen cars. But re cently they were called upon to perform a job that they just had to turn down. , A Westchester County house wife telephoned the nearby bar racks and said she "needed an extra man" for a dinner party that night.

Trees Furnish Fal For Texas Cattle Carrizo Springs, Tex. :U.R Adversity can be a good teacher, a . South Texas rancher has learned. C. E. Dolin had been strug gling for years to keep his cattle herd going during the long Texas drought. As a desperation experiment, Dolin began cutting mesquite trees and feeding them to his cattle. The mesquite is a scraggy hardwood that infests the west ern and southern parts of the state and generally is considered quite useless. Many ranchers have spent thousands of dollars trying to get rid of the bushy tree which has long tap roots and flaring' side roots that suck up as much as 900 gallons of water a day from the subsoil. Dolin worked out . his . saw dust" plan by cutting the tender est top parts of the tree and shredding them.. Next, he put them through a grinder, pro ducing a meal-like substance. Then he mixed the psoduct in a 10-to-9 ratio with molasses, grain, and cotton seed meal. He fed the mixture to his cattle and was amazed to find them grow ing sleek and fat. His first ship-' ment brought top. prices at the San Antonio market. Dolin credits the mesquite with saving his herds. He plans to market 4,000 head of mes-quite-fattened steers a year and can produce the mesquite meal for $5 a ton in an area where imported hay costs from $40 to $60 per ton. The rancher s formula is 1,000 pounds of mesquite meal to 500 pounds of molasses, 200 pounds of grain and 200 pounds of cot ton seed meal. Dolin stacks his tree tops for a five-oay curing period. Tne drying out process makes ' it easier for tne trees to De shredded in a chipping machine but doesn't cause any loss of their amazing amount of vita-mnis.
