Polled Hereford at the Sydney
Ro.val Show, on 111 head, sold
'theic; averaged 51.89500 The
price of the best grades of meal
cattle has been holding about 28
to 30 cents per lb dressed weight.
Average to good, dairy cows arc
selling for about $2OO 00 per
head. A letter from my nephew
in Pa stated that straw was sell
ing as high as $4O 00 per ton.
Over here there is very little
that is even bailed, it sells for
20 to 25 cents a bail. The headers
are set high to just clip the heads
and the straw is very often burn
ed in the field.
I do i ead articles In some farm
magazines that are advocating
the discontinuance of the burn
ing practice, and recommending
that the straw be used for mulch.
I personally feel sure it would
help to hold moisture in the soil,
which is a great problem here.
The area that I cover in my sales
work has had reasonably good
rain but about Vz of Queensland
has had very little relief from
the drought. They are just now
starting to consider making laws
governing the hunting seasons
and license fees, here in Queens
land. There does seem to be very
little in the way of wild life, as
I have only seen about 25 kanga
roos, 6 foxes, 10 possums. 5 Kol
as. and 100 hares (Jack-rabbits).
I enjoy receiving the LANCAS
TER FARMING paper and read
ing the records of those good
Lancaster County cows Many
people take their vacations over
the holidays and go to the many
beautiful beaches.

Liquid.
Fall’s the time to speed
crop residue decay.
Won’t let go of crop residue
until it says “H limits.” That’s
why Arcadian liquid is called
the stubborn fall fertilizer. It
completely coats and clings to
the stubble. Doesn’t bounce off
the way dry prills do. When
plowed down, it stays right
where it’s needed to speed mi
crobial breakdown of organic
matter. This faster decomposi
tion makes more nutrients avail
able next spring.
