,'"v " '%«$? 'F .'V SJi, "^W5p^ MA,,VUV; THE McHENRY PLA1JBJEALER Seasons For Marketing Listed Most cattle feeders made larger •Wl# avenge profits in the 1953- fii^asoh. This fact, plus good in most of the importan|-. cattle-feeding areas, made a Strbrig demand for feeder cattle this Tall. Corn-belt farmers have laid'ill large numbers of stockers and^|j!ee<iers at prices $1 to $3 W^l^f^an last fall. These higher first costs seem likely to M)fa&ze profits to less than nprmal ln the 1954-55 season. • fceef supplies and cattle prices. J3iipJ&ies " of beef in 1955 seem likely to be nearly as large as thpsft of this year. It is possible that even more cattle will be marketed in the year ahead than in: 1854, but less other beef may be' available. ^jpiCU^h consumer buying pafirtit i# expected to hold near im. levels through 1955, no lharwed incfease in the demand for beef is now in prospect. ' If,' as is now®expected, both supplies of, and demand for, beef continue near 1954 levels through the next year, prices for slaughter cattle will also continue in the same range. Feed supplies. Feed costs in 1965 seem likely to average near thbse of this year. The supply of feed^ grains is 4 or 5 per cent larger than it was one year ago, blit. there has been a corresponding) increase in numbers of graincojisuming animals. It appears thai the average price of com wii be 5 to 10 cents higher than it] was in the past crop year. TM supply of feed grains is 4 oi 5 per cent larger than it was one year ago, but there has been a corresponding increase in numbers of grain-consuming animals. It appears that the average price oft corn will be 5 to 10 cents higher than it was in the past crop year. Protein supplements may cost a little less for the coming year than they did in the past feeding year. There should be more and cheaper soybean meal because the crpp is one-fourth larger than last year's. But there is less cottonseed meal in prospect, because both acreage restrictions and drouth cut the cotton crop. The lower profit margins in. prospect for this year do not allow any cushion for mistakes in feeding or marketing. Costs of gains must be kept low by making good use of roughages and by buying protein supplements that furnish protein at the lowest price per pound. g, Aim for best markets. Remember the seasons that usually bring the highest prices for each grade of cattle: Common and Utility steers, cows and other cheap cattle almost always sell best in the spiing months -- April, May and June. Steers that grade Good most often bring their best prices in June, July and August. Good heifers &lso sell well on the early summer market, although heifers with exceptional quality can bei given more finish and moved ihthe late summer. Steers grading Choice bring highest average pi ices in August, September and October. Those with most quality can be fed longest without excessive risk of price decline. . Prime steers almost always sell best from September through December. Sometimes January markets are good, but it is safer to have top cattle sold before the year ends. In recent years, February has been a very weak market for top cattle. » If you plan yojir feeding and marketing programs to hit these usually good price seasons, you will increase your chances of making a profit from cattle feeding during the year ahead.

WILDLIFE FEEDING High water along the Illinois river valley last spring interfered with the growth of the wild plants on which migrating wild ducks like to feed, and flights of waterfowl may cut their stay in the valley short this fall. However, the present flooded condition of valley lowlands may make better shooting for hunters in shoreline blinds. This information comes from Frank Bellrose, state Natural History, Survey biologist. The Illinois duck hunting season opened last (Friday. Subscribe to the Plaindealer VOTE ' * FOR JOE MEEK FOR U. S.
