Most slaughterers entered the week needing cattle for immediate slaughter requirements while carrying a conviction that live prices should be lowered to effect an acceptable ratio between live costs and carcass realizations. Moderate marketings which were well distributed over the trading period, however, provided a price supporting in fluence, although buyers were still often cautious and selective STEERS- A load high-Choice and Prime 1215 pounds Grade 3 48 25, and twenty four loads same grade 1013-1370 3-4 47.65-48 00.

AVAILABLE FROM YOU FAVORITE ANIMAL HEALTH SUPPLIER Cut Federal Spending Says Public to Stop Rising Food Prices A nationwide, independent survey involving 1,123 per sonal interviews in 24 metro politan areas and 11 non metro counties reveals that 86 per cent favor cutting gov ernment spending to combat rising food prices. Fri. William J. Kuhfuss, presi dent of the American Farm Bureau Federation, an nounced results of the survey conducted between March 21 and April 10, near the peak of consumer reaction to ris ing food prices. The Federa tion is the largest general farm organization in the U.S. with 2,175,780 member fami lies in 49 states and Puerto Rico. The survey, made by Leo J. Shapiro & Associates of Chi cago, was sponsored by the Federation, Kuhfuss said, to determine national attitudes toward farmers and food prices. When respondents were presented with a list of pro posed actions on food prices, there was widespread accept ance (86%) of the idea that government should cut its spending, Kuhfuss reported. This solution was favored by a higher precentage of peo ple than any other solution presented to the respondents. The percentages favoring the other 11 solutions were as follows: limiting profits of companies producing and packing food, 80; limiting the profits of the middleman, 78; limiting the profits of food store chains, 74; consumers cutting food expenditures, 72; consumers boycotting food stores, 62; larger com panies resisting union de mands for higher wages, 61; cutting demand by prohibit ing food sales to foreign countries, 59; cutting govern ment agricultural subsidies, 59; prohibiting the advertis ing of meat, 34; limiting the profits of farmers, 27; and freezing wages of supermar ket employees, 22.
