CARPENTIER Sccrct.irv of St.ifc Recently, the newspapers were filled with the tragic tales of runaway vehicles which took a heavy casualty toll. The episodes bring to mind the proper way of parking a vehicle when it is on a grade. After maneuvering the auto into the desired position, the motorist should turn tee front wheels so that UPHILL DOWNHILL the right front wheel is In against the curb if the car is facing downhill. If pointed uphill the front wheels should be turned out toward the center of the road with the back of the right front wheel against the curb. The hand brake should be firmly applied before the motorist alights from the vehicle. Also, the ignitioA key should never be left in a parked car as it can only lead to trouble Youngsters, for instance, have been known to be Inquisitive about the workings of an auto and one can readily Imagine the danger if a child is playing in a car with the Ignition key in place. Also, statistics show that a large number of stolen vehicles were taken because the Ignition key was left in the car.

Now we fa£e the prospect of an overabundance of beef for two or three months. This .Js r good news for consumers who enjoy fine beef, but it won't do niilch to refill the cattle feeder's pocketbook. Back on July 1 farmers to Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska were feeding 8 per cent more cattle than they fed the year before. But from that date through September they marketed 7 per cent less cattle than' during the same period last year. They stiso . put i per cent more cattle into theft* feedlots. And so on batotoer 1 farmers in these three states had 18 per cent more cattle in their feedlots than they had a year., ago. State by state the increases were: Nebraska, 2 per cent; Illinois, 20 pet cent; and Io\Va, 25 per cent. Farmers in all other corn-belt states reported even larger increases in cattle^ on feed over a year ago. The increases by State are: Indiana, 26 per cent; Ohio, 28 per cent; Missouri, 30 per cent; Minnesota, 35 per Cent; Kansas, 38 per cent; and South Dakota, 76 per cent. Altogether .it is estimated that the nine cornbelt states had 25 per cent more cattle on feed Oct. ij. than £hey had a year before. Comparable figures were released for one other state -- California. Out there jfeefllots were filled with 19 per cerj.t jpore cattle than last year. ' ' • The holding-back tendency has al§o boosted weights of slaughter cattle and of cattle still on feed. At mid-Ootober the "average weight of slaughter steera at Chicago was 1,133 pouftdsi 62 pounds more than the year before. J ; ' Illinois fanners Were feeding about 390,000 head of cattle, placing the state second in cattle feeding in the Corn Belt. Iowa, as usual, ranked first with 798,000 head, while Nebraska was third with 348,000. The number on feed in California, was estimated at 498,000 head compared with 2,615,000 head in the nine cornbelt stales. If farmers market cattle as they reported was their intention on Oct. 1, they will move most of the excessive numbers before Jan. i. it appears, however, that actual marketings during October Were not so large as reported intentions indicated they would be. Contrary to popular opinion nearly as. many feeder and stock:-/ er cattle havs" moved into the Corn Belt since July 1 this year as last. Receipts in August were less than last year, but the, figures for July and September were the same as a year before. During the three months, 950,000 stocker and feeder "cattle -- only 5 per cent less than last year -- were received in nine corn-belt states. Considerably fewer feeder and Stocker cattle have been moving through terminal markets this season than last year, but more have moved direct. During the three months from July through September, the ten leading markets handled 16 per cent fewer stockers and feeders than they handled one year before. This has been one of those exceptional years in the cattle market. It opened with choice steers at Chicago selling for around J27 a hundred pounds, the highest prices in many mdnths. The market held near (this level through the cold weather. The usual winter price decline was delayed until spring. Then the usual summer, to ^£all price advance failed to develop. Since there1 has been no seasonal .price advance this year, the market is in a good position to resist a seasonal dbcline during the winter. The present situation seems to call for selling all cattle that have put on finish about equal to their bred-in' quality and replacing them with lighter and younger stock.
