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. ' " . -
"That's a little out of our line,"
she was told.

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.
