Outlook for
Beef Cattle
CHICAGO Cattle feeders
can look forward to “more ol the
same” during the the 1955-56
feeding year says Natronai lave
Slock Producer.
analysis which indicates the t9sb
This outlook is based on an
calf ci op and the number ot cat
tle on feed will be about tne same
ns last year.
No significant changes in price
levels are expected and price mar
■gins between feeder cattle will
again be lory- Returns trpm beet
cow herds aie expected to re
main at relatively low levels.
Lower feed costs will reduce
the cost of putting gains on cat
tle in feedlots but profits will be
low
Feed prices have dropped suf
ficiently to restn'o the situation
which existed in the early 19505.
Gains can be put on cattle below
the level of eventual selling price
making favorible price margins
unnecessary, although desirable
It also puts the feeder ot light
cattle in 3' somewhat stronger
position because of lower gam
costs Wider grade price differen
tials aie expected than in most ot
1955, but when differences m
costs are considered, the highly
top cattle will again show lower
profits than those of lower grades.
All cases of known or suspect
ed pet-poisoning warrant a vet
erinarian’s cate, because death
can often be averted by quick
use of specific antidotes and
hypodermic injections.

In Plant Mishap
John C. Hoffman, superintend

ing at his home today following
an accident last week which re
sulted in the loss of sight in bis
left eye.
Hoffman was released from the
Lancaster General Hospital Sun
day where he had been a patient
sifice Wednesday. Hoffman was
injured Tuesday, Oct. 20, wnue
repairing a sprayer on a mixer at
the plant. A piece of steel from
the machinery flew off and lodged
in his eye.
He was treated immediately by
Dr. Robert Helm, Quarryville, and
although temporarily blinded, did
not appear to require additional
medical work. However, the fol
lowing day when the injury be
came irritated he again consulted
Dr. Helm and was sent immedi
ately to the hospital..
Examination by Dr. Paul Rip
ple, Lancaster eye specialist, dis
closed the piece of metal still in
the eye, and Dr. Ripple performed
surgery to remove the object last
Thursday.
Whether- Hoffman will regain
the sight of his eye later, doctors
did not know, Mrs. Hoffman re
ported.

develop as they should, a veteri
narian should be called in to
make an examination lor inter

NFO Sends Second
Appeal for Floor
Under Hog Prices
CORNING, lowa Members
of the regional board ot direc
tors of the recently organized
National Farmers Organization
(NFO) sent the following’ tele
gram to Presidential Assistant
Sherman Adams'
“In view of the president’s con
ference with the secretary ot ag
riculture Saturday and in view of
the apparent lack ot leadership in
the department ot agriculture in
this crisis in the great tarm states,
where constantly declining prices
of farm products and continued
increasing prices of manufactur
ed goods, we firmly believe the
president should place the facts
before Mr. Benson, for immediate
action, to put a floor under hogs
and cattle of 90 per cent of
parity, which he has tne power
to do.
“Action should be taken be
cause the purchasing power oi
the farmer is being rapidly de
pleted.
