The Association’s report indicates prices to producers for all beef cattle sold this year may average $1 a hund redweight above a year ago— a price probably $3 a hun dredweight higher than wou ld prevail if current .product ion and slaughter were in balance with no inventory increase. Serious students of the cat tle industry are beginning to ask whether we are headed for another bust like 1953. Such a bust is not inevitable. It can be avoided, according to the Fact Finding Commit tee. The question is whether necessary steps to prevent a bust will be taken by a large enough number of producers. Considering probable cat tle marketings and prospect ive supplies of pork and poul try, it seems likely that 1959 will be the high cattle-price year of this cycle, the Cattle men’s Association says. Of course, this estimate could be wrong The highest prices might come next year. .But potential further gains from 1959 levels are likely to be so modest that anyone hold ing cattle for further specu lative price gain is carrying a large and increasing risk which the market outlook does not seem to justify.

It would seem a lot better to begin to top out some cows at current prices than to wait until large numbers have to be liquidated in a downward price spiral says the national committees re port.

And at the same time they can re duce their debt or increase their cash reserves. In summary, any producer who has cause to be concern ed with his capacity to carry his present number- oi cattle through times of either low or normal feed production, has at this time an unusu» 1 opportunity to reduce his risks and improve his posi tion. In contrast, those produc ers who persist in hanging on until they have skinned the last thin dime off tins cy cle boom, may well find them selves losing dollars instead of gaining dimes, the Asso ciation said. If enough producers will recognize the seriousness of further rapid expansion in cattle numbers and then ma ke a move this year to check their own contributions to it, then any real bust in the cat tie business in the next few years can be avoided, the cat tlemen's report concludes. Plan To Attend A DAIRY MEETING Tuesday, August 11 Lunch Will Be Served 1 At 11:30 (D.S.T.) ly 8,000 dafry farmers in No vember, if was announced here today. . , According to Dr. C. J. Blanford, the market' admin istrator, the adjustment re sults from the" utilization of milk for fluid purposes over the last twelve months. The New York,-New Jersey milk marketing order became ef fective on August 1,-1957* and for the following - year the percentage of' milk for fluid use was- fixed at- 55 per cent and over taut under 60 per cent in- determining the differentials. With actual fig ures available, the percent age did not- change for ust or September taut fell just below 55-per cent for the twelve' months ending with October. The nearby, differential for approximately 3,000 dairy farmers in the 1 to 50 mile zone will increase from 40 to 48 cents per hundredweght beginning - with November. The second - ' largest group,, 1,400 dairy farmers, located in the 111 to 120 mile zone will have- their differential, increased from five cents to six cents.-... The third- largest group of about 1,100 dairy fanners is in the 91 to 100 mile zone where tire ' differential will be raised from 15 cents to 18 cents per^hundredweight. As the'Utilization of milk for" fluid 'purposes decreases, the differential to nearby producers ncreases. It is as sumed that- producers near New York-New Jersey contribute more to the fluid market for the entire pool and should be compen sated accordingly. On the other hand,t. if fluid utiliza tion in the, pool is high, the contribution -of nearby pro- considered less and the differentials are lowered. Patronizp Lancaster Farm ing Advertisers. ON
