Irregularities in
Buying of Cattle
Studied by Court
U S Department of Agricul
ture has been notified that a peti
lion to vacate a cease and desit
oicier for Packeis and Stockyards
Act violations by Frank A Ben
gun and dealers at Omaha Union
Stock Yards was denied Aug 13
by the U S Court of Appeals for
the Eighth Circuit
USDA issued the cease and de
sist order following investigations
and hearing or alleged violations
involving the use of ’’turn” sys
tems to the exclusion of farmers
in the purchase of slocker and
feeder cattle This, USDA charg
ed, was restrictive of covnptition
in violation of the P&S Act
Th Appeals Court said “We
tlunk it obvious that any method,
rule or scheme which limits the
number of buyers or piospective
bujers and thereby increases the
value of the position or turn of
those not eliminated must have
the effect of restricting competi
lion and necessarily results in de
pressing the whole market ”
The Court added “Any piac
tice which results in dealers them
selves determining in what sales
alleys or m what order in a sales
alley they shall bid is an unrea
sonable restriction on competi
Con
The conclusion is inescapable
from the testimony brought out in
tne record that the turn system
was a combination (dealers and
Bengan) formed for the puipose
of controlling the buying and sell
ing of livestock at the Bengan
commission house or contribut
ed to that result ”
FEED
CONVERSION Shaver
Starcross layers produced a
