THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER FARM NEWS BEEF TONNAGE IN 'FEED LOTS •UP 20 PER CENT The most important livestock report issued in July was the quarterly report of cattle on feed. This USDA report for the thirteen leading states $Howed that farmers on July 1 this year were feeding 4,269,- 000 head of cattle and calves. This number was 16 percent ihore than last year, which was the previous record high. Increased cattle feeding is Reported for both the corn- belt iind the west. Nine com belt states were feeding 3,258,000 head, 15 percent more than the year before. The four leading • western states were feeding 1,011,000 head, 19 percent more than last year. Longer feeds this year, The big increase is in moderately ' Heavy cattle, about threefourths of the increase being in cattle weighing over 900 pounds. The heavier average weights this year reflect some holdingback of cattle to convert more feed into beef. The number of cattle that had been on feed less than three months was up only 9 percent, while the number on feed over three months was up 25 percent, and the number on feed over six months was up 16 percent. Tonnage up one-fifth. We made an estimate of the total tonnage of cattle in feedlots and judge it to be about 20 percent greater than last year. As might be expected, most of this increase consists of steers. The total number of steers was reported as 2,922,999, or 18 percent more than the year be- - fore. Heifer on feed numbered 1,164,000 up 12 percent. Calves on feed were listed, at 170,000 head, 55 percent more than in 1957. Marketings to be delayed. The pay-off will be when farmers market their cattle. Although the cattle on feed now are already heavier than they were last year, farmers plan to feed them longer and market tl)em later than they did last year. Most of the increased number of cattle in feedlots are headed for market after Oct 1. Marketing intentions were , reported as follows: July 805,- 000 head. 41,000 more than in 1957; August, 1.057,000 head, 141,000 more; September, 1,- 043,000 head, 7^.000 more; and October and later, 1,364,000 head 327,000 more. The supply of feed cattle available for market will not increase quite so much as the number on feed. The reason is that part of the increase in . numbers counted in feedlots at any one time reflects the longer average feeding period this year. In the same way the tonnage of fed cattle marketed will not increase so much as the tonnage in feedlots. Nevertheless, the supply of fpd cattle available for market seems likely to be considerably larger this fall than it was & year ago. Price prospects. The record tonnage of cattle in feedlots suggests that price premiums for fed cattle will be low this fall. The principal support for the general cattle price structure will have to be a continuation of the shortage of cow beef. Recent prices of all classes and grades of slaughter cattle were $3 to $5 higher than those of last f&ll. It seems doubtful that these higher prices can be maintained in view of prospective increases in marketings Of poultry, ho|p and fed cattle. • L, H. Simerl, Dept. of Ag. Econ.. "MY FAIR LADY" IN 40th WEEK AT SHUBERT THEATRE The National company of "My Fair Lady," now in its thirtyninth week at the Shubert theatre, is breaking all theatrical records in Chicago. It has showed to over six hundred thousand people and this com-' pany alone has grossed over $2,000,000. Henry Higgins is the central figure in the play and is now portrayed by Michael Evans. Mr. Evans played the role during Brian Aherne's vacation last March and received excellent reviews from all of the Chicago critics. Contrary to all rumors, Anne Rogers is still continuing in her role as Eliza Doolittle. Her contract still has many months to run. Chicago theatre -£oers have become familiar with other performers in "My Fair Lady." Charles Victor is still seen in the role of Eliza's father, Alfred P. Doolittle. Hugh Dempster playvs the part of Colonel Pickering. Margery Maude is Mrs. Higgins, Marie Paxton is Mrs. Eynsford Hill. Reid Shelton is her son, Freddy Eynsford- Hill. Others in the play are Eric Brotherson, Charles Penman, Velma Royton, Katherine Hyones and a large1 company of singers and dancers. Rumors have it that "My Fair Lady" is sold out months in advance. This is not true. Seats are available at all prices for most every performance. Special attention is given to mail orders, but when ordering seats by mail several alternate dates should be given. This is necessary because for some performances large blocks of tickets have been sold to theatre parties, and this makes it necessary to have alternate dates.
