PUBLIC PULSE " BLUE BALLOT this is just a reminder to the voters on the tax amendment to be voted on Nov. 6. It looks as though some officials don't like the people to see the other side of the arguments against the Blue Ballot tax amendment. All people who live in the suburbs and work in Chicago, eluding Chicagoans, will be laying an income tax on their wages if this law is passed.

THE McHEWRY PLAIWDEAEER/ ^ r T - i - - • - . * - ] : "" v + Page Fhre PARTY FOR THE YOUNGER SET at1, vpa Praises Hospital The Plaindealer is in receipt of a letter filled with praise for 0McHenry's new hospital, written by A1 J. Larson. Mr. Larson was injured in an auto accident on Sept. 24 and has been confined to the local hospital since that time. We quote, in part, from his letter: "To me it has, and gives, the finest service and has the best home cooked meals. In a few short words, it is the biggest j^thing ever to come to a town like 'PMcHenry. Every single angle pertaining to the successful operation of a first class hospital is given here and I say again, too. much cannot be said as to the high class service rendered." Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Sohaefer, Jr. and Mr. and Mrs. 'Clarence J. Schaefer and Gary visited Miss Betty Jane Schaefer at j»St. Joseph's convent, Milwaukee, "on Sunday. Miss Schaefer is in nurse's training at Alverno college. Your child and his friends will enjoy a party with a menu especially planned for young appetites.

The production of meats, which has increased each year for five years, is leveling off and will soon decline. While meat output is leveling off, population and consumer income are continuing upward. Prices of meat animals were extremely depressed during most of the past twelve or eighteen months. Now that production is lower, prices have improved considerably, and further improvement is likely during the next several months. Beef production increased most and leveled off first. Beef output comes in long waves or cycles, running ten or more years from one peak t,o the next. Output reached a peak in 1946, declined to a low in 1951, and then reached another and mifeh higher peak during the past twelve months. The increase from the low in 1951 to the present high is about twothirds. As beef production leveled off, prices increased sharply. Average prices of choice steers at Chicago went up from $20.70 a hundred pounds last May to around $27 in September. At the September level, prices were about $5 higher than the year before. Part of the increase in prices of fat cattle was a normal or typical seasonal spring-to-fall rise. But it was much more than that. It also reflected a general recovery frdm the extremely depressed prices prevailing through 1955 and the first half of 1956. Even prices of cheap cattle, which normally decline about 20 per cent from spring to fall, went up about 15 per cent from May to September this year. COMPLETE MARINE TRAINING M.C.H.S.

Total slaughter may hold near the levels of recent months, or even increase slightly, but average weights will surely be smaller. Pork production, which runs in four-to-six-year cycles, also peaked out during the. past twelve months. This was ^he first time in history that the peaks of pork and beef supplies came at the same time. Federally inspected pork output reached a peak of billion pounds last December. 39 percent more than just two years before. Pork output declined seasonally during the first half of this year, but total production was on^- fourth greater than two years before. These unprecedented increases in beef and pork supplies forced lower retail prices and allowed marketing margins to increase. Both of these developments cut sharply into prices of cattle and hogs. As beef supplies leveled off during the late summer, prices of cattle advanced sharply. A similar Improvement In hog pffees is likely during the year ahead. Some normal seasonal decline is likely during October and November, but prices will probably average considerably higher during the next twelve months than they did a year earlier. If employment in cities is maintained at high levels, livestock ^prices may well remain above recent lows fbr a few years. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics Frank D.
