WEEKLY REVIEW—
- CATTLE —Receipts 15 per
cent smaller than last week;
smallest in four months, 25
per cenfi less than correspon
ding week last year. Hot
weather curtailed' receipts as
did the fact that prices for
slaughter steers and 'heifers
last week dropped- to a low
for the year to date.
Percentages of the various
classes in receipts about the
same as last wwk, around 70
percent slaughter steers, a
bout 20 per cent heifers and
six per cent cows. Percentage
prime sueers a little larger
than the 9 pet cent prime
last week, around two-thirds
of the steer supply choice,
the percentage of good
grades somewhat smaller
than the 22 per cent good
last week, average weight of
sity of Connecticut.
Youngsters of both sexes
will begin to swarm into Har
risburg’s Farm Show Build
ing on October 5, the d~
fore the exposition officially
gets underway.
The first .afternoon will
consist primarily of registra
tion, followed by a tour of
the nearby Gettysburg Bat
tlefield.
On the following day the
contests will begin in poul
try judging and egg grading.
Also slated for that day is
the selection of the NEPPCO
-FFA Star Poultry Farmer.
Each state is now in the
process of selecting its out
standing poultry boy for the
competition to select th«
ding youngster for the - -
east.
A number of special events
have been lined up for the
exposition, which each year
draws several thousand poul
trymen from all corners of
the 14-state NEPPCO terri
tory.
Among them are such at
tractions as the Egg-o chick
Show, Poultry Princess Con
test, sample flock (hsphiyfe,
and a lAarket egg show.
