Farm Prices In
August Highest
Since 1953
The August index of prices
received by Pennsylvania farm
ers for nearly all ciops and
livestock reached its highest
level since November, 1953,
according to the State Crop
Reporting Service
The slight drop in prices
received tor steers, heifers
and slaughter cows was more
than offset by otherwise gen
erally stiong livestock prices
Milk cow prices, averaging
$315 per head, weie $5 above
the July puce and were the
highest on lecoid The mid-
August puces leceived foi
bioileis and roasteis, eggs,
and milk were also important
factors in the high puce level
With the exception of oats
all giam puces showed mod
el ate mci eases over pievious
levels Most active weie coin
and soybean prices, which
gained 9 and 15 cents per
bushel lespectively The soy
bean price at $2 75 pei bushel,
was the highest since Septem
ber, 1954
The use in prices received
reflects deci eased production
and tight supplies of feed
grains and dairy products, the
crop i ©porting service said
The fifth year of drought has
cut sharply «nto quantities
available for sale, and has also
increased expenditures for
feed and roughage to replace
losses becaue of the drought
