.In many ways, it was felt by
jiicmbera of tha war board and
county ACA committees as well
many other committeemen,
xnat the dairy production goal
should be established at 80 per
cent rather than 80 per cent.
Also some members felt It was
doubtful if the 80 per cent could
be obtained.

community sign-up meetings
will be held throughout the

should know the manpower re

CATTLE MARKETS
Only 800 head of cattle and
75 calves arrived at North Port
land Monday, and prices were
25 to occasionally 50 cents high
er, with medium to good fed
steers bringing $13.80 to $15.25,
the latter a new high for that
class. Medium to good beef
cows sold- at $8.50 to $12.25.
Early .reports from Chicago
showed trading slow and most
bids weak to 25 cents lower,
although actual sales were
steady, especially on strictly
good and choice offerings. Med
ium steers brought the early

cents above the month before
and $2 higher than a year pre
vious. While buyers of ail
classes of livestock have insist
ed they are paying too much to
come out at current price ceil
ings they have had litUe luck
beating down prices owing to
light receipts. Demand for short
fed steers for further finish has
helped maintain steer prices al
so, and good fed heifers found
ready sale last week at $14.10,
a new high for the season,
SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS
Following last week's light ar
rivals,' North Portland reported
2300 sheep and iambs received
but only 500 available for local
sale. The market for fat lambs
was steady to strong with a load
of good to choice 83-pound shorn
lambs with No. 1 pelts sold at
$15.25 and medium to good
lambs bringing $12.50 to $14.
Medium to good ewes were
strong to 25 cents higher at
$5.50 to $7.50. Early trading In
Chicago was about steady at
$18 to $16.25 for good native
iambs, and aiso in Omaha where
most sood and choice fed wooled
and wheat pasture lambs sold at
$15.50 to $15.75 and above.
Midwest markets have been
receiving adequate supplies of
fed lambs with sizeable ship
ments from . Montana and the
Dakoias as weil as off midwest
wheat pasture. The USDA re
ports numbers of sheep and
lambs on" feed for market Jan
uary, 1 were 2 per cent smaller
than the record number of Jan
uary 1, 1842, but larger than
at the same date any other year.
Numbers on feed in the 11
corn belt states this winter were
8i per cent larger than last, but
were more than offset by a 18
per cenf decrease in other states,
to ihe smallest total since 1938.
In Colorado especially there is
a marked drop In numbers.
