Illinois had a total of 721 burns, cuts and other injuries. Ninety of these resulted from the use of sparklers. That same period brought 176 eye injuries, nineteen resulting in blindness in one eye. There were nine deaths. Five were caused by sparklers. Seven of eleven deaths in 1951 were due to sparklers. In 1954. with the enactment of the model fireworks code in Illinois, and passage of the federal law. effective July 1. the total of all injuries dropped to forty-two. Of these, nine were eye injuries. One resulted in total blindness. Eight serious second and third degree burns occurred, and there was one death.

Although present prices are high, continuation of the high rate of buildup in cattle numbers could cause serious troubles in the future. The increase in cow numbers was not extremely large last year- only 19 percent of the total increase in cattle numbers. Beef supplies under normal marketings from current numbers of breeding stock would not be unduly high. However, a large increase in cow numbers in the next few years could provide market supplies of beef far in excess of our population growth and could lead to a serious price collapse. , Slaughter of '*cows for the "T Super Whit^ KOLYNOS Tooth Paste 69 Blue Jay Corn Pad TREATMENT 59 Wednesday, July h 1959 first quarter of the year was 24 percent below that of a year earlier. Cattle slaughter this year has largely consisted of fed cattle and culls. Cattle that offer some possibilities of further profit have been held either for additional feeding or for calving. With the sharp build-up in cattle numbers that is occurring, the situation becomes more sensitive to range and crop conditions. A drouth in the range area or adverse conditions could bring sharp price reactions in both slaughter and replacement cattle markets. Since last October fed cattle prices have followed almost an identical pattern with that ox the previous year, but have stayed slightly higher. Recently there has been some decline in fed cattle prices. Last year about a $4 decline occurred in prices of choice cattle from the last of April to the first of August. Marketing of fed cattle will likely be high during this summe'r period, but it is doubtful whether prices will decline as they did last year. • ' $ I In the past few weeks the number of cattle slaughtered under federal inspection has been equal to or slightly greater than a year ago. This is an increase in slaughter rate from the first quarter of this year, when total numbers slaughtered were about 7 percent below a • year ago. Average weights have also been heavier, so total beef production has been a little larger than it was last year. Total slaughter so far this year has been less, but slaughter of fed cattle has averaged about 8 percent larger than last year. Prices of fed cattle have bi^-v strongly . supported by other kinds of cattle coming"io market. This lack of supply of- lower grade cattle has caused a narrow spread of market prices that will be likely to continue throughout the year. Demand for replacement cattle and movement to the country have continued at a very high level. The average cost' of stocker and feeder cattle for the last week in May at the ten major markets was about $2.25 above a year earlier. While the movement of replacement cattle seems to have dropped some in May, shipments to the Corn Belt in April were almost half again as large as a year earlier. For the period Jariuary through April, they averaged one-fourth more than in theV previous year. This heavy movement indicates that the supply of fed cattle coming to the market will continue high. However, with small supplies of* nonfed cattle, the supply of beef per person will probably be about 80 pounds, the same as it was last year. M. B.
